Hexagon Mosaic

Hexagon Mosaic (Hexagonal Pixelate)

Like pixelation, but with hexagons: your photo becomes a honeycomb of flat color cells.

Hexagon Mosaic — how it works

Pixelate a photo into a honeycomb of flat-colored hexagons.

Why hexagons

Square pixels line up in rows and columns, so edges look stair-stepped. Hexagons tile the plane with six equal neighbours, so diagonal and curved edges look smoother and the whole image reads more organic — the same reason bees and board games use them.

Cell size

Small cells keep the subject recognizable with a subtle honeycomb texture; large cells turn the photo into an abstract pattern of color — great for backgrounds, posters and covers. The cell size scales with your image.

Also for privacy

Large hexagon cells hide faces, plates and screen content as well as square pixelation does — with a more designed look. For automatic face hiding use the Face Blur tool.
