Make a custom personalized jigsaw puzzle gift from your photo. Turn any picture into a hands-on keepsake that pulls the recipient into the memory piece by piece. Pick the piece count that matches the moment: a compact 99-piece puzzle, a 100 XL with larger pieces, 500 pieces on the same footprint as 100 XL, or the larger 1000-piece format. Every size except the 99-piece pocket puzzle ships in a custom gift box printed with your photo on the lid, so the reveal starts the second they open the package.

Sizes and Piece Counts
1000 Piece Custom Puzzle With Box
19 x 27 in. Our largest finished image and highest piece count. Allow room for the assembled puzzle and loose pieces. A weekend of sessions, roughly 5 to 12 hours depending on experience.
500 Piece Custom Puzzle With Box
13.5 x 19 in. More pieces than 100 XL within the same finished image area. Choose it when the recipient prefers more pieces to assemble. A single evening, usually 2 to 4 hours of solving.
100 XL Piece Custom Puzzle With Box
13.5 x 19 in. Same finished size as the 500-piece version but with larger tiles that are easier to handle, a good fit for teens and adults who prefer bigger pieces or a shorter build. Typically 30 to 45 minutes for one adult.
99 Piece Custom Puzzle With Tube
3.5 x 5.1 in. Pocket-sized gift puzzle that ships in a mailer tube, best for card-sized surprises and short solves. A quick build, typically 15 to 30 minutes for one adult.
Times vary with experience, the photo chosen and how many people are solving.
How to Make a Custom Jigsaw Puzzle from Your Picture
-
Upload Your Photo: Send a high-resolution JPG or PNG through the product page personalization form. We recommend a 5:7 ratio and 4 MP or higher for the 500 and 1000 piece versions. Our guide on choosing a photo that prints well covers resolution and lighting.
-
Pick Your Piece Count: 99, 100 XL, 500, or 1000. The 99-piece ships in a tube; every other size ships in the custom gift box.
-
Add Notes (Optional): Special requests, dedication message to print on the box, or anything we should know about the photo.
-
Review and Confirm: Double-check your photo, piece count, and dedication before submitting. Your photo is printed exactly as uploaded, so make sure it's framed and sized the way you want it. There is no separate proof step; here is how we review your order before printing.
Choosing the Right Photo
The puzzle is printed directly from the file you upload, so the photo does most of the work. A few guidelines that print the sharpest:
-
Go high-resolution. A 5:7 ratio at 4 MP or higher is ideal for the 500 and 1000-piece versions; the 99 and 100 XL look best with a well-lit, in-focus shot.
-
Use camera-roll originals. Pull the full-size photo from your phone or camera rather than a social-media export, which is downsampled and loses detail once the image is cut into pieces.
-
Keep the subject clear. One strong subject reads better than a busy scene with small background faces. Screenshots and heavily compressed images tend to soften after cutting.
-
Mind the file. Upload a JPG or PNG up to 20 MB. Our photo resolution guide shows how to check before you order.
-
Have several photos you love? Build a photo collage puzzle instead, and arrange them all on one finished image.
