Example
Example: a 48-piece puzzle of the dog on US Letter — 8 × 6 pieces of 1¼ inches
A portrait phone photo, biscuit.jpg (3024 × 4032 pixels): a golden puppy asleep on a red plaid blanket, no people in it. It is a birthday present for a nine-year-old. Settings: 48 pieces, Classic jigsaw, Dark lines, guide picture page on, US Letter.
- The photo stands upright, so the page stays portrait. 48 pieces become 8 rows × 6 columns, the same 3:4 shape as the photo, so nothing is trimmed off.
- The puzzle is 7.54 × 10.06 inches (191.5 × 255.4 mm), centered with a 12 mm margin; every piece is about 1¼ inches (31.9 mm) square.
- The photo goes into the PDF at 1885 × 2514 pixels, which is 250 dpi at that size: sharp in print without carrying all 12 megapixels.
- Above the top-left corner, in small grey type: “48 pieces (8 × 6)”. Page 2 shows the photo small with faint cuts, like a box lid, plus three tips on gluing, cutting and piece counts for little ones.
| Pieces chosen | Rows × columns | Piece size (US Letter) | Trimmed off the photo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 3 × 2 | 3.35 in (85.1 mm) | 11% of the width |
| 12 | 4 × 3 | 2.51 in (63.8 mm) | nothing |
| 24 | 6 × 4 | 1.68 in (42.6 mm) | 11% of the width |
| 35 | 7 × 5 | 1.44 in (36.5 mm) | 4.8% of the width |
| 48 | 8 × 6 | 1.26 in (31.9 mm) | nothing |
| 70 | 10 × 7 | 1.01 in (25.5 mm) | 6.7% of the width |
| 100 | 11 × 9 (99 pieces) | 0.84 in (21.3 mm) | 8.3% of the height |
biscuit-jigsaw-puzzle.pdf, 2 pages. Print page 1 on photo paper at actual size, glue it onto thin card, let it dry and cut along the lines. The table is for an upright 3:4 phone photo on US Letter; on A4 the same photo gives 96 pieces (12 × 8) for 100.

- Print, glue the sheet onto thin card, let it dry and cut along the lines.
Frequently asked questions
- How many pieces for which age?
- Six to twelve wavy or square pieces for two- to four-year-olds, 24 to 35 for school children, 48 to 100 classic pieces for older kids and adults.
- What paper should I use?
- Print on photo paper or normal paper, then glue it onto thin card (a cereal box works) before cutting. Photo paper on card makes the sturdiest pieces.
- Will my photo be cut off?
- Often not at all, and never more than 15% of one side, taken equally from both edges. The photo fills the page, and the trim is what keeps the pieces square; center what matters before you start.
- What is the guide page for?
- It shows the whole picture small, like the lid of a puzzle box, to help while building.
- Why did I get 99 pieces when I chose 100?
- Rows × columns follow the shape of the photo and the paper so the pieces stay square. An upright 3:4 phone photo on US Letter comes out as 11 × 9 = 99 pieces of about 0.84 inch; on A4 it is 12 × 8 = 96. The real count is printed above the puzzle and on the guide page.
- What happens with a panoramic or square photo?
- A wide 16:9 photo loses the 15% maximum from its sides and its pieces come out slightly oblong: 35 pieces on US Letter are 5 × 7 pieces of 1.44 × 1.33 inches. A square photo goes on an upright page and loses up to 15% of its width. For square pieces, crop the photo to 4:3 or 3:2 first.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The puzzle is made in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.
