Turn a photo you love into a jigsaw you can hold.

The picture you keep going back to — a wedding, a first trip, a face you miss — becomes a puzzle. Pick your grid, print it at home, cut it out. The photo never leaves your device.

Choose your grid

Square cuts for a knife, classic tabs for the real thing. 4 × 3 up to 40 × 40.

Print and cut

Every sheet carries a 100 mm bar so you can prove the scale before you cut.

Made on kitchen tables

Five real sheets, five different settings — A4, A3 or A2; 48 to 140 pieces; tabs or square; hairline or bold. The photos are ordinary pictures; every cut line on top of them was generated in the browser, the same way yours will be.

A print shop that fits in a tab

Your photo never leaves this tab

No upload, no server, no copy in an account. Close the tab and the picture is gone from our side of the wire, because there is no our side.

Any grid size

2 × 2 to 40 × 40, square or classic. Tabs scale with the piece so they never overflow.

Classic tabs

Real interlocking curves, drawn as vector paths.

Numbered backs

A mirrored, boustrophedon back sheet prints as page 2, so every piece has a home.

A1 poster scale

594 × 841 mm, up to 1600 pieces, printed across a plotter or tiled from A4.

Greyscale-safe lines

Black, Charcoal, Blue, Grey, White. Each swatch states its grey value, because a colour that vanishes in mono is a sheet you cannot cut.

Print sizes, to scale

Each step is one sheet folded in half, so A3 holds two A4s. Pick the size you can actually print on, not the one you wish you had.

The one thing that matters: set your printer to 100%. Turn off Fit to page. Every sheet has a 100 mm bar printed near the bottom edge — measure it once with a ruler and you are done. At 95% your pieces won’t fit together.

If the pieces already don’t fit, the bar tells you why →

Four things that decide whether it gets finished

A printed puzzle fails for boring reasons: the printer shrank the page, the paper was too thin, the pieces were 12 mm, or nobody could tell which piece went where. One page each.

Print check The pieces don’t fit Your printer shrank the sheet to 94%. Measure the 100 mm bar and print again at 100% — two minutes, and it stops happening for good. Sizes How many pieces fit Measured piece sizes for A4 to A1, the pixel resolution each one needs, and the piece size a hand can actually pick up. Paper The paper is too thin 80 gsm tears at the tabs. 200 gsm is the cheapest paper that behaves like a real puzzle, and it feeds in almost anything. Backs You can’t find the piece Every piece carries its position number on page two. Which duplex setting puts them on the right pieces, and why the back is mirrored.

Then the four questions that come next

How many pieces to choose, whether your phone photo is big enough, which cut style to print, and how to run a class set without losing the pieces.

Counts Choose a count by size 140 pieces is 18.5 mm on A4 and 27.3 mm on A3. The measured piece size for every grid, and the counts each sheet can reach. Resolution Is the photo big enough? A 12 MP phone prints at 263 dpi on A4 and 179 on A3 — and the portrait crop costs more pixels than most people expect. Cut style Square grid or tabs 3.48 metres of cutting against 4.90 at the same 48 pieces, measured from the path. What the extra metre buys at the table. Classroom Thirty students at once Thirty sheets, 1,440 pieces, 147 m of cutting — and the two tricks that stop a class set becoming one heap.

Questions, answered plainly

Will my photo be uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser. The picture never leaves your device and we don’t store a copy.

What paper should I use?

Plain A4 covers most puzzles. 160 to 200 gsm card cuts cleaner and feels less flimsy. Go A3 if you want bigger pieces.

How do I know it printed the right size?

Set Scale to 100% and turn off Fit to page. Every sheet has a 100 mm bar on it, so you can measure once and stop worrying.

My printer can’t print borderless.

Fine. The puzzle sits inside a 10 mm margin. Trim the margin off first, then cut the pieces.

How many pieces should I pick?

Under 30 for kids, 48 to 100 for a normal evening, 200 and up if you want to lose a weekend. Fewer pieces also print sharper, because each one is bigger.

Go print something

One photo, one sheet, one pair of scissors. That is the whole workflow.
