How to "hack" your Facebook profile to display one mosaic image

Curious how to get your Facebook profile to look like this? It’s actually quite as simple as using one out of the handful of newly released Facebook apps that cut up one large image and make it into a mosaic. Of course, results may vary depending on the size of your images, but you’re going to want to experiment for the proper effect you’re looking for.

To begin, there are a few ways to do this; Oudinizer, FB Photo Magic, and Profile Maker are just a couple to name a few. They all work pretty much in the exact same manner, so to save time let’s stick to with Profile Maker.

First

Upload any photo you have on your computer. Large pictures are suggested, although smaller ones can be zoomed in on, but remember you’re looking for style so the more pixels the better it’ll end up.You can also adjust the placement of the image, as well as how far to the right or left you want it.

Click on “Create Profile” when you’re satisfied.

Next

After some time to load, the next screen will instruct you to make the next image it directs you to as your default facebook photo. Click on the link above the image thay says “Go to Photo”, then on the bottom right corner click “Make Profile Picture” (I’m sure you already know how to do this).

Finally

After making the new image your default, go back to your profile and take a look at the finished product. The only issue I have with this layout is that the first post on your wall displays a profile picture and it’s in the way of the full mosaic being connected.

 

If you ever get sick of the look, it’s actually quite easy to remove; simply visit your photo albums and delete the new album that holds the mosiac pictures. Once that’s done your profile pictures should be restored to normal.
