Snap a photo of anything and Pic2Bricks designs a custom brick set for it. Your dog, your favorite mug, the view from your window: take a picture and our AI designer turns it into a real, buildable model made from standard building bricks. SEE THE REAL SET FIRST, FOR FREE In about a minute you'll see the actual finished model, at the size and detail you picked. Spin it around. Not quite right? Tell us what to change, or start fresh. You only use a build when you keep a design you love. 3D MODEL OR 2D PORTRAIT Sculpt it in 3D, or turn any photo into a flat brick portrait made of round tiles, like the mosaic art sets. Portraits are perfect for people, pets and paintings, and they're ready in seconds. EVERY SET COMES WITH • A 3D model you can spin to see every side • The complete parts list, with sizes, colors and part numbers • Step-by-step instructions that show exactly which pieces go on next • An estimated cost for the bricks PICK YOUR SIZE AND DETAIL • Mini: pocket-size, about 75 pieces • Classic: shelf-worthy, about 250 pieces • Mega: a showpiece, about 500 pieces • Advanced detail adds plates and tiles for smoother, finer models Add a side or back photo for even better shape and proportions. GET THE REAL BRICKS One tap copies your parts list and opens BrickLink, the world's biggest marketplace for single bricks, so you can order exactly what you need. Or raid your own brick bin first. HOW IT WORKS Previews are free, and your first 2 builds are on us. After that, pick up a pack of builds whenever you want more. No subscription, no account, and the builds you make are yours to keep. Designs are generated by AI. Your photo is only used to create your design and isn't kept afterwards.
