Photo Puzzles

Three ways to add text to a custom photo puzzle: pre-edit the photo, use the built-in editor, or type a dedication in the Notes field. Three text-placement modes: on both puzzle and box, box only, or as a separate dedication.

Custom photo puzzles need puzzle-saver glue for permanent wall display. Short-term flat tabletop display works without glue. The standard glue-and-frame workflow plus when each approach fits.

Source-photo size requirements for a 1000-piece custom photo puzzle (19 by 27 inches). Minimum 4 megapixels; 8 megapixels recommended for sharp faces and fine detail.

Low-resolution photos work for the 99 and 100 XL custom photo puzzles but not the larger 500 and 1000 sizes. Drop down a piece count or find the original file when your only photo is below 4 megapixels.

Custom puzzle safety by age and piece count. Giftenova puzzles are positioned for ages 7+; the 100 XL piece count is the large-piece option for ages 7-12, and the 99, 500, and 1000-piece sizes are for ages 13+ due to small-piece choking risk.

Frame fit depends on the finished puzzle dimensions. The 1000-piece fits 20x28 or 24x36 frames; the 500 and 100 XL fit 16x20; for tighter fits, use a custom frame.

Modern phone photos work for custom photo puzzles. The phone itself is rarely the issue; it is usually a compressed copy or a screenshot. Use the original camera-roll file.
