Is this compatible with standard building bricks?

Yes. All pieces use standard stud dimensions and snap onto any standard baseplate. You can mix our printed tiles with your own bricks to extend the build, add a frame, or create a display base.

What photo works best for a building brick photo puzzle?

Photos with a clear main subject and good contrast print the sharpest. We recommend at least 2 MP for the 46 and 48 piece versions and 4 MP or higher for the 96 and 144 piece versions. Simple, well-lit compositions translate better to the tile grid than busy backgrounds or group photos with tiny faces.

How long does it take to assemble?

Roughly 15 minutes for the 46-piece square and 48-piece heart, 30-45 minutes for the 96-piece versions, and 45-75 minutes for the 144-piece rectangular. First-time builders may need slightly longer to get oriented with the tile grid and photo.

Which shape and piece count should I pick?

Pick square (46 pieces) for pocket keepsakes, heart (48 or 96 pieces) for romantic and anniversary gifts, and rectangular (96 or 144 pieces) for landscape photos or high-detail builds. Piece count determines final image detail; the 144-piece rectangular is our most detailed option.

How long does production and shipping take?

Manufacturing takes 2 to 5 business days after checkout. Each tile is UV-printed, checked, and packed with the baseplate and assembly guide before shipping. Standard shipping is 2 to 8 business days. Express shipping is available at checkout for faster delivery.

Can I return a custom photo brick puzzle?

Because every kit is printed from your personal photo, we can't accept returns on a change of mind. If the kit arrives damaged, has a printing fault, or is missing tiles, message us at support@giftenova.com within 7 days of delivery and we'll remake or refund it.

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.
