    When creating your custom puzzle, you will have the option to resize or crop your photo to fit the jigsaw. Please note that an additional 0.2” may be cut from the edge of your image during production. As a result, we recommend centering your photo and keeping any significant elements away from the edges. 

  • What are the puzzles made of?

    We create our photo puzzles with premium European cardboard. After your photo or collage is uploaded, our team prints them with the latest digital printing methods and transfers them onto durable 0.09-inch puzzle cardboard. This process ensures that your jigsaw is high-quality, long-lasting, and as beautiful as your cherished photos.

Image Files & Quality

  • Which photo file formats can be used?

    We only process JPG (jpg, jpeg) and PNG formats. Most digital cameras automatically take pictures in the required JPG format!

  • What is the recommended image resolution?

    The higher the resolution, the better the quality of your printed photo puzzle. The final product also depends strongly on the resolution of the original digital photo. If your image has a minimum length of 1600 pixels on its longest side, this is sufficient for a puzzle of 48, 100, 200, or 500 pieces. This measurement corresponds approximately to a picture taken with a 2-megapixel camera. For a puzzle consisting of 1000 pieces, we recommend a minimum of 2500 pixels, corresponding to a 4-megapixel digital camera. For 1000 XXL- and 2000-piece puzzles, we recommend a minimum of 3500 pixels, corresponding to a 10-megapixel digital camera.

    After uploading your picture, our design software presents a scale ranging from 1 to 5 stars indicating the resolution of your photo. The ranking of your photo will help you determine whether or not the image is suitable for the chosen puzzle format. 

    See below rating guide

    5 stars = excellent resolution quality
    4 stars = good resolution quality
    3 stars = average resolution quality; possibly blurred
    2 stars = moderate resolution quality, blurred
    1 star = bad picture resolution, very blurred

    Please note that this scale only refers to the resolution of your picture. Our software cannot assess the image sharpness and general picture quality. The larger the chosen design for your puzzle, the higher the necessary image resolution. We do not modify the resolution of your transferred file. Additionally, our team cannot process refunds due to insufficient image quality. Please check the quality of your image before submitting your order and reach out to our team with any questions! 
     

  • What is the maximum file size I can upload?

    The maximum file size is 80 MB.

  • Which color space of my picture is required?

    Please transfer your pictures in RGB or sRGB color space. sRGB is the standard color space of most digital cameras. Please save black and white photos as a JPG file in sRGB and not grayscale. Additionally, our software will produce an error message if any images stored in the CMYL color space are uploaded. Our customer service team is always available for assistance if this happens. 

  • Will my picture be edited?

    No, your photo will not be edited! It is printed exactly like the image file you transferred to us during the jigsaw design process.

  • I would like to crop my photo. What dimensions should the image have?

    Please prepare your file according to the following dimensions (pixels):

    Number of pieces Width Height
    48, 100, 200 or 500 pieces 3409px 2567px
    1000 pieces 4530px 3409px
    1000 XXL & 2000 pieces 6406px 4819px

    Please take a margin of 35px into account on all edges, as it is the area where the cutting die will hit the puzzle. You should not place any essential picture elements there.

  • Can colors change during printing?

    Unfortunately, color differences can occur due to the individual adjustment of monitors, which can differ in brightness, resolution, contrast, and color. Minor alterations can also result from different graphic boards.
