How to create a mosaic with the [Paint] program on your PC
If you have a Windows PC, you can use the general Paint program that is installed by default to create a mosaic.
1. Run Paint.
2. Load the image you want to make a mosaic with [File] → [Open].
3. Click the [Select] box in the upper left corner.

4. You will be able to select the area. So let's select the whole face.
5. Press the [Ctrl+(-)minus] key 4 times in the selected area.
6. Press the [Ctrl+(+)plus] key 4 times again in the selected area.
7. You are done. Now just save the file by [Save as] and you are finished.
But you can't always mosaic in a rectangle, right?!
So you can mosaic only specific areas using the following methods.
1. When you press the [Select] button, you can choose the shape method. This time, click the [Freeform Selection] button.
2. You will be able to select the area. So let's draw only the face area excluding the hair.
3. Similarly, press the [Ctrl+(-)minus] key 5 times in the selected area, and then press the [Ctrl+(+)plus] key 5 times again.
4. You can see that only the face outline is mosaiced, excluding the hair.
5. You are done. You can save the file by [Save as] and use it.
TIP : I highly recommend using shortcut keys. There is a way to reduce and increase the size with the mouse, but it is surprisingly difficult to adjust the size. If you think the mosaic is not good, it is also a good idea to increase '-+key' 4 to 6 times.
