Is there a program that converts an image to a 86×86 grid for mosaic art project?

You may have seen people make mosaics Post-it notes or Lego Bricks. I want to do something similar but in other media. I will be using square objects and I am limited to the following colors red orange pink violet White Blue green yellow Black Gray that I would find a program that can feed a photo and have spit a grid base. The room I have is about 86 86 seats. Are there any programs or websites that will do this? I messed around with Photoshop, but I can not seem to make the exact number / color need to work out. Thanks!

I'm assuming you mean by places many squares do not want the whole grid on the size of the grid The easiest way I found when doing a project like this is to use photoshop. Just get the image and open it in photoshop.You I then need to get your image to become by a factor of 86 to make it look uniform. The closer the better really (for example, if you have a 840×840 box you'll want to make a new canvas 860×860 then put your image there and change its size). Once you have your canvas size now perfect, establish a network of 86×86 (see, show, the network) then (edit, preferences, guides and grids sliced account.) Get the canvas size and divide by 86 and that is the amount you put into the "line of each grid box." This is really where the smaller equals better. You may also want to use less than 86 seats because it is a lot of small squares (about 7300), so you might want to do something like 20×20 and work your way from there, if you think you need more. However, if you enlarge the image, then more spaces may be needed. But moving forward. From there, make as many layers as desired colors, and select the entire canvas and fill each layer with the colors chosen, not worry about the image disappears. Now just get the rectangular marquee tool and select a row of four seats (if you have 4 colors) and delete them. Keep doing this requires a square, then go to the next layer and repeat this process again but losing two seats until all the colors come in a style through the network. Once that is to get your image and make it transparent (ie, remove all white and color so that all you have is essentially a line drawing) and put it on top. I hope I helped and I will post a picture of what mine came out as if you want to check if its the right style
