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!
