Jigsaw Puzzle Maker FAQ
Everything you need to know about custom puzzle generation
Absolutely. You retain all rights to your designs. Many users use our tool to create files for products they sell on Etsy, Amazon, or local markets.
For professional results, we recommend 3mm birch plywood or acrylic cut with a laser. For home crafters, heavy cardstock or mounting board cut with a Cricut/manual blade works great.
Technically yes, but we recommend sticking to under 500 pieces for browser performance and cut time. 1000-piece puzzles are very complex to render and cut.
Puzzles require high-resolution images. Ensure your uploaded photo is at least 2000px wide for best results, especially for larger physical sizes.
No, PuzzleGenio is a design tool. We generate the digital files (blueprints) for you to make the puzzle yourself using a printer or cutter.
No limits. Create as many templates as you need. We believe in empowering creators.
DXF is a standard CAD format. It works with Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape (free), LightBurn, AutoCAD, and most laser cutter software.
Yes! We offer 16 puzzle shapes including circle, hexagon, heart, star, diamond, butterfly, and more. Go to the Shape panel to pick a shape — the puzzle will be cut to that outline. Shapes use two engines: hex-grid for geometric shapes and clip for freeform outlines.
Yes! Click 'Play Game' to solve puzzles interactively in your browser. Drag and drop pieces to assemble the puzzle with snap-to-fit mechanics. Features include a timer, zoom controls, and works great on tablets and phones.
Click the 'Download Pieces' button and choose PNG or SVG format. You'll get a ZIP file containing all individual pieces with proper naming (A1, A2, B1, etc.). Perfect for digital craft projects or separate laser cutting.
Absolutely! Click the 'Share' button to get shareable links. Share a play link so friends can solve your puzzle online, or an edit link for collaboration. No sign-up required for recipients.
We support 16 shapes across four categories: Geometric (rectangle, circle, hexagon, honeycomb, diamond, ellipse), Nature (flower, butterfly, egg, crescent, teardrop), Symbol (heart, star, cross), and Fun (cloud, cat). Each shape produces a unique puzzle outline while keeping standard interlocking pieces.
