A mosaic is built from a limited set of colored pins, so it rewards clear, simple images: one clear subject, good lighting, strong contrast with the background, and the subject filling most of the frame. Faces carry the most detail, so give them room — for portraits, lean toward a larger canvas. Busy scenes, low light, faces far from the camera, and heavily filtered shots struggle. When in doubt, crop tighter.

You'll know before you pay. Upload it to the free builder and see the exact render — faces, pets, dark photos, all of it. What you preview is an honest representation of the real pins, not a stylized mock-up. If you don't love it, you haven't spent anything.

Roughly 400–800 pins per hour, depending on experience — a small piece is an evening, a large one is a few relaxed sessions. The builder shows a live estimate for your exact size. Some people race, some savor it.

Pins lift out and snap back in — nothing is glued, and a pin tool for placing and lifting is in the box. We include spare pins too. If anything arrives damaged or missing, email hello@oopsineedit.com with your order number and we'll send replacements.

We sort your pins by color, pack your kit, and ship it — usually within 3–5 business days, via UPS or USPS anywhere in the US. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout, and tracking arrives the moment it leaves our table.
