How the puzzle is cut

Your photo is scaled to fit the board and divided into a grid that matches its shape, so a wide landscape gets more columns and a tall portrait more rows. Every shared edge between two pieces gets a random tab on one side and a matching blank on the other, drawn with smooth curves just like a cardboard jigsaw. Border pieces keep straight outer edges, which is what makes edge pieces first such a useful strategy.

A piece only locks when it is dropped close to its true position on the board, so you can arrange pieces freely around the board first. The ghost image shows a faint copy of the picture on the board if you need a hint.

Start with the border

Use Edge pieces first to bring every straight-edged piece to the top.

Sort by color

Group sky, faces or text areas together around the board.

Best photos

Bright pictures with varied colors and detail make the most fun puzzles.

Photo jigsaw FAQ

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is read and cut entirely in your browser and is never sent to a server.

Can pieces be rotated?

No. All pieces keep their correct orientation, which keeps the puzzle relaxing.

Do pieces connect to each other off the board?

Pieces lock only onto their correct spot on the board. You can still arrange them freely around it.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Drag with your finger. On narrow screens the board sits at the top with pieces below it.

How are best times saved?

Your best completion time for each piece count is saved in this browser.
