Almost anything makes a good picture for a
puzzle. In addition to art prints, posters and
photographs, there are great pictures in
calendars, greeting cards and even books and
magazines. We can make a puzzle from any of
these. We even handle 35mm slides and
negatives and can do image processing
on your photos. We can easily take out "red eyes", scratches or spots, lighten or darken all or parts of
a picture and adjust coloring. We do involved work where we can take out unwanted background objects like wires and telephone poles, or
even create a background so that a snapshot of a person looks like a studio photograph. Finally, we can take multiple images and design
a collage for you from the images you send us. For example, a wedding puzzle of wedding pictures, the invitation and pictures
from the honeymoon or an anniversary puzzle with pictures of the couple's years together, or a family tree puzzle with pictures of all the family
members.

We took the snapshot on the left and created a background similar to those used in studios for a this proposal puzzle on the right.

If you don't have a specific picture in mind,
you can check out the gallery for available prints, or let us
know what you like and we may have something. Not all our images go in the gallery, although
we are adding to it weekly.
The puzzle doesn't have to be rectangular. Each of the puzzles on this page has a unique shape too.
We design puzzles shaped like an oval, circle, star, etc. or
give them an edge pattern. Sometimes we cut along a boundary of the
things in the picture (called
color-line-cutting). Our gallery has examples of these
features and our Customize your Puzzle page shows how you can customize the shape, style, special pieces
and more for your puzzle.
Puzzle Sizes
The size of your puzzle can be as small as 1"x1" or as large as, well, pretty large. For a single section puzzle, we
can cut it almost as large as 2 feet by 4 feet, enough for a 15000 piece puzzle. However, if you really need something larger than that,
we can make it in interlocking sections to be as large as you need. Of course you might just want a large puzzle with a few pieces. We did
a map puzzle for one customer of the Conneticut River watershed that was about 6 feet long and 2 feet wide but only about 40 pieces. Each major
tributary's watershed of the Connecticut River was a piece and the river's watershed was 8 pieces.
