Choosing Your Photo: Image Resolution, Colors, and More!

Your photo's resolution is crucial to creating a high-quality photo jigsaw puzzle. Most smartphones automatically take pictures with an image resolution suitable for a 1000 piece photo puzzle. However, our product designer will help you determine whether or not an uploaded photo meets our jigsaw image recommendations. puzzleYOU's software will display a rating based on the image you upload, from 1 to 5 stars.

Deciding which photo to choose for your personalized 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle can be challenging! With so many treasured memories, it can be difficult to pick favorites. We always recommend picking images with a variety of colors and design elements. Images with large segments of the same color can create hard, frustrating puzzles, such as pictures of the sky or sea. Multi-colored photos will lead to an enjoyable assembly experience, as individual segments are easily distinguished. 

If you want to create a relatively straightforward assembly experience for your 1000 piece puzzle, you can always design a photo collage out of several photos. In this case, simply choose a different puzzle layout in the "Change Layout" section of our puzzle designer. The pictures below help you find this function:
