Photo to bricks
Turn a photo into a 3D brick model with instructions.
Turn your photo into a 3D brick model. Rotate the result, follow building steps, and download PDF instructions and a parts list. See real photo-to-model examples.
Start with one clearly visible object.
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP photograph up to 8 MB. Keep the whole object in frame, use even light and leave some space around the subject. A three-quarter view reveals more depth than a flat front view.
The shortest side must be at least 128 pixels and the image must contain no more than 25 megapixels.
One idea in every selected size.
Small, Medium and Large are versions of the same request, with detail adapted to each size. You do not need to choose an object category.
See a photo become a brick design.
The glass bottle example starts with this object photo. Open the case to compare the brick silhouette and its matching instructions. Its medium design has 1,172 pieces and 273 steps; your model will have its own layout and counts.
See the result before following the guide.
Each selected size includes an interactive brick preview, online steps, a PDF booklet, a CSV parts list and an instructions package.
A photo cannot show every surface.
Hidden geometry is inferred. Small details, thin attachments, transparent materials and subtle colors may change. Review the finished preview and digital checks. These files do not include physical bricks, purchasing or delivery.
Questions before you create.
Can I turn a photo into building instructions?
Yes. Lingo Brick turns your photo into a three-dimensional brick design with a matching preview, parts list and instructions. Review the result: a single photo cannot show every hidden surface.
Is this a photo filter or a flat brick mosaic?
The result is a three-dimensional brick design with individual pieces and building steps. A filter changes the appearance of an image; a mosaic arranges colors on a surface.
Can I use a pet, house or object photo?
You can submit a clear photo of one subject without choosing a category. Keep its complete shape visible. Thin details, fur, transparent surfaces and hidden features may be simplified.
Do I receive physical bricks?
You receive digital previews and instructions. Physical bricks, inventory matching, purchasing and shipping are not included.
