How do I make a collage for the puzzle?

Use any photo editor to arrange your photos into a single image. Free tools that work well: your phone's built-in collage feature, a free online collage maker, or a simple grid in any word processor. Aim for a 5:7 aspect ratio and 4 megapixels or higher resolution. Save as JPG or PNG and upload through the personalization form on this page.

How many photos should I include in my collage?

We recommend up to 7 photos on a 500 or 1000 piece puzzle for readability. More than 7 photos at standard puzzle scale can make individual faces too small to recognize. The 99 and 100 XL piece counts work better with 2-5 photos. That said, you control the design, so include as many as your layout supports clearly.

Can I get help preparing my collage?

Yes. Email support@giftenova.com with your idea (number of photos, layout preference, occasion) and we will point you to a free tool and a layout that fits. We do not build the collage for you, but we can recommend the right approach so you can finish the design quickly.

What collage layouts work best on a puzzle?

Grid layouts (uniform tiles arranged in rows) and heart-shaped clusters print cleanly because the photos read as a planned design. Freeform mixed-size layouts work too if there is one clear hero photo. Avoid layouts where photos overlap heavily or where one face is much smaller than the others, since the puzzle's piece count makes small details harder to recognize.

What photo quality do I need for a collage puzzle?

4 megapixels or higher for the finished collage image. Each photo inside the collage gets less canvas space than a single-photo print would, so the source resolution matters more on collages. When you build the collage, use original camera-roll photos rather than downsampled social-media exports. We print from the collage image you uploaded - if the resolution is too low for your chosen piece count, individual faces may look soft. See how to check photo resolution before you order.

Which piece count is best for a collage puzzle?

The 500 and 1000 piece counts are the most-recommended for collages because the larger finished canvas (about 13.5 by 19 inches for 500, 19 by 27 inches for 1000) keeps individual photos readable. The 99-piece pocket version works for 2 to 4 photo collages. The 100 XL is a good middle option for 3 to 5 photos with easy-to-handle pieces.

How long does a collage puzzle take to ship?

Manufacturing takes 1 to 5 business days after checkout. Each puzzle is custom-made from your photo, inspected, and carefully packed before shipping. Standard shipping is free within the U.S. and takes 2 to 6 business days. Express shipping is available at checkout for faster delivery.

Can I include photos from different events or years in one collage puzzle?

Yes. Mixed-source collages are one of the most-loved use cases. A wedding collage might combine engagement, ceremony, and reception photos. A year-in-review collage spans 12 months of family life. A milestone-anniversary collage can reach back across decades. Build the collage with whichever photos fit the story and upload the finished image.

Can I return a custom collage puzzle?

Because each puzzle is printed from your collage image, we cannot accept change-of-mind returns. If a puzzle arrives damaged or has a printing fault, message us at support@giftenova.com within 7 days of delivery and we will remake or refund it.

Product Features

Print-Your-Collage Service: Upload your finished collage image and we print it on the puzzle. You control the layout completely; we focus on the print quality and the gift-box presentation.
Same Premium Print Quality: Your collage is printed in high resolution on thick puzzle-grade card stock, color-matched to your original image and finished with a glare-resistant matte surface.
Four Piece Counts: 99 (pocket), 100 XL (large-piece), 500 (evening), and 1000 (weekend statement). The 500 and 1000 are the most popular collage sizes because the larger canvas keeps individual photos readable.
Custom Gift Box Included: Every size except the 99-piece ships in a full-color gift box with the collage printed on the lid. Your dedication text can also be added to the box.
Any Number of Photos: The collage is your design, so you decide how many photos to include and how to arrange them. We recommend up to 7 photos on a 500 or 1000 piece puzzle for readability, but you can go denser if your design supports it.
Fully Personalized: Add a name, date, or short dedication for the box lid. Use the order notes for any printing preferences.

Size Options

99 Pieces with Tube (3.5 x 5.1 in): Pocket-sized collage puzzle, ships in a mailer tube. Best for tight 2-4 photo collages; the small canvas reads cleanest with fewer faces.
100 XL Pieces with Box (13.5 x 19 in): Same finished size as the 500-piece but with extra-large tiles for easier handling. Holds 3-5 photos comfortably.
500 Pieces with Box (13.5 x 19 in): Evening puzzle. The most-recommended collage size; balances detail and finished-puzzle scale.
1000 Pieces with Box (19 x 27 in): Weekend statement collage with the largest canvas. Frames as wall art when complete.

How to Customize

Prepare Your Collage: Use any photo editor to lay out your photos into a single image. Free tools that work well: our free photo collage maker (it includes this puzzle's exact print sizes and flags any photo that would print soft), your phone's built-in collage feature, or a simple grid template in any word processor. Aim for a 5:7 aspect ratio and 4 megapixels or higher resolution. You can confirm both in seconds with the free photo resolution checker.
Upload the Finished Collage: Through the personalization form on this page, upload your finished collage image as a single JPG or PNG.
Pick Your Piece Count: 500 or 1000 pieces work best for collages because the larger canvas keeps individual photos readable. The 99 and 100 XL counts work for tight 2-5 photo collages.
Add Notes (Optional): Use the Notes field for any printing preferences or a short dedication to print on the box lid.
We Print and Ship: Use a clear, high-resolution collage image at your chosen piece count. Manufacturing takes 1 to 5 business days, then standard shipping is 2 to 6 business days. The custom gift box arrives ready to wrap. We print your collage as submitted, so see whether you get a proof before printing.

Collage Layout Tips

Grid layouts (uniform tiles arranged in rows) print cleanly because the photos read as a planned design.
Heart-shaped clusters suit anniversaries and memorial pieces where the shape adds meaning.
Freeform mixed-size layouts look great when one clear hero photo anchors the design.
Avoid heavy overlap or layouts where one face is much smaller than the rest; small details get harder to recognize once the image is cut into pieces.
Mix events and years freely. Engagement, ceremony, and reception, or a full twelve months of family life, all belong in one collage.

Why Giftenova

Designed and handcrafted by our small Giftenova team with 100,000+ happy customers worldwide. Every collage puzzle is inspected and gift-boxed before it ships. If something is not perfect, we make it right.

One Puzzle, Many Memories. A collage puzzle holds more than one moment. It turns a year, a relationship, a family, or a tribute into one connected piece-by-piece reveal. The recipient does not just see one photo when the puzzle is complete; they see the whole story, arranged in one frame.

Note: Recommended for ages 13+ on the 99, 500, and 1000 piece versions (small pieces). The 100 XL option is kid-friendly for ages 7-12. For the sharpest collage, prepare your image at 4 megapixels or higher with good lighting and clear subjects; each photo on the collage gets less canvas than a single-photo print, so resolution matters more on collages than on single-photo puzzles. Our guide on choosing photos that print well covers resolution and lighting. Printed colors may vary slightly from screen. Keep assembled puzzles out of persistent direct sunlight and avoid humid spaces so the pieces do not warp.
