Turn a favorite photo into a custom building brick puzzle your recipient builds tile by tile. Every kit includes printed bricks, a baseplate, a printed assembly guide, and two unprinted support pieces for display. Your photo forms a flat image across the front faces of the connected bricks. The pieces use standard stud dimensions for building-brick compatibility. A playful keepsake for couples, families, and anyone who would rather build a gift than unwrap one.

Photo Brick Puzzle Features
-
Standard Brick-Compatible Pieces: Standard stud dimensions; every tile snaps onto a standard building baseplate and mixes with bricks you already own.
-
Your Photo on Every Tile: Printed across the front faces of the bricks, color-matched to your original image for a sharp, fade-resistant finish.
-
Three Shapes, Five Sizes: Square, rectangular, and heart outlines from 46 to 144 pieces.
-
Full Kit Included: Printed bricks, the matching baseplate, a printed assembly guide, and two unprinted support pieces for display. No tools, no glue, no adhesive.
-
Fully Personalized: Upload any high-resolution photo - we recommend at least 2 MP for the small variants and 4 MP for the 96 and 144-piece versions. Run your photo through the free photo resolution checker if you want to confirm before ordering. Your photo is printed from the file you submit.
-
Ages 13+: Small tiles and connectors are a choking hazard for younger children. Same age recommendation as our standard jigsaw puzzle.

Note: Recommended for ages 13 and up. Small tiles and connectors are a choking hazard for younger children. For the sharpest finished build, upload a well-lit, in-focus photo. Printed colors may vary slightly from screen. Keep assembled kits out of persistent direct sunlight; individual tiles can come loose if bumped, which is normal for building-brick-style products.
