Ideas for your next puzzle

Tips and Examples

Start with a photo you love. Keep it original, try an artistic finish, or use a specific direction to make it your own.

A good place to start

Tips to make the most of your photo

Use the highest-resolution original you have. A photo copied from a message or social post may have less detail. Print quality depends on the pixels, puzzle size and crop.
Keep your original and compare the details. AI versions are saved separately. Return to the original when trying another style, and check faces, hands, text and small details before saving or ordering.
Turn off Puzzle guide for a clearer view. The piece outlines are a preview guide and are not printed over your artwork.
Printability. If your artwork says too small to print before the design phase, this might change after you apply a theme or provide AI instructions.
Just be patient. If you have a lot of photos in My designs, it might take a minute to render all images, especially on a slower machine. Deleting old designs can help speed things up.

Small changes, clear directions

Tell us what you want to change

Choose No theme and describe a specific edit, or pick a Theme idea to fill in a starting direction. You can edit that direction before creating. AI results vary and can change details you wanted to keep.
