The short version
Nearly 100 brick colors
Your photo is matched against nearly 100 real, in-stock brick colors (the same bricks we pack), so skin tones, fur and backgrounds come out smoother.

The 15 x 15 in kit is 50 x 50 bricks for $49 (about 2¢ per brick), plus $9.99 shipping. 15 x 20 in (3,072 bricks) is $59.
Free preview first

Go bigger

Everything in the box

Questions
Is it real LEGO?
The bricks are LEGO®-compatible 1x1 bricks that fit standard LEGO baseplates and pieces. BrickYourFace isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the LEGO Group.
How many colors do you use?
Nearly 100 brick colors, matched against your photo from the same in-stock bricks we pack. More colors means smoother shading, especially on faces.
How much does a custom brick portrait cost?
$49 for a 15 x 15 in kit (2,500 bricks) or $59 for 15 x 20 in (3,072 bricks), plus flat shipping of $9.99 or $14.99 per baseplate. Bigger mosaics are priced per baseplate.
What photo works best?
One face or pet, close up, with light on the face (facing a window, not backlit). Use the original photo rather than a screenshot. You'll see a free preview before you buy.
Is it hard to build?
No. It's like paint-by-numbers: each bag is labeled with a number, and the build map shows where each number goes. No tools or LEGO experience needed.
Can my AI assistant make one for me?
Yes. AI assistants can connect to BrickYourFace at https://brickyourface.com/api/mcp (an MCP connector) to turn your photo into a preview and send you a link to buy it.
