## What is Pixel Prose?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Now it can be made of them.

Pixel Prose rebuilds any photo out of letters. Choose a picture, type or paste your words — a poem, a message, song lyrics, a name — and the app tiles them across the image, colouring every letter to match the photo underneath. Up close it's text; from a distance it's a picture.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a photo from your library, or take one with the camera.
2. Type or paste your words. The text repeats to fill the whole picture.
3. Tap Make My Mosaic.

SHAPE IT LIVE
Once your mosaic appears, it stays at the top of the screen while you adjust it, and it redraws as you move each slider:
• Detail — from a bold, chunky mosaic to a fine, photographic one (20 to 160 columns).
• Horizontal and vertical spacing — pull the letters tight until they overlap, or spread them out with air between (0 to 200%).
• Brightness and contrast — make the colours glow against the black background.
• Skip spaces — pack the letters together, or keep the gaps in your text.

SAVE AND SHARE
Save the finished mosaic to your photo library or send it straight from the share sheet. Perfect for gifts, cards, posters, wedding and anniversary keepsakes, or putting a favourite poem inside a favourite portrait.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device. Your photos and your words are never uploaded, there is no account, no ads, no tracking and no internet connection needed. The app only asks for the camera if you choose to take a photo, and for permission to add the finished picture to your library when you save it.

Free, with nothing to buy.
