Pick the Best Photo for Your Photo Puzzle
If you are interested in creating a fantastic photo puzzle, the
first step is choosing the correct photograph. Having the right
image can literally make a puzzle or break a puzzle. Although the
search for the perfect pictures shouldn’t have you pulling
out your hair, there are certain tips to remember when looking to
create puzzles from photos. Consider the following tips to ensure
your puzzle is a hit!
Tip #1 – Pick Your Picture!
The most important part of any photo puzzle is the photograph itself.
This image should be one that you particular enjoy or cherish. If
you plan on giving the custom puzzle as a gift, carefully consider
the photograph you use to ensure that the puzzle’s recipient
will enjoy the finished product. When choosing a photograph, consider
one that has a crisp, clear image. Furthermore, photographs with
limited blank or negative space often make more enjoyable picture
puzzles.
Tip #2 – Size It Up!
The size of your photograph plays a huge part in the quality of
your custom jigsaw puzzle. If you are using a digital image, remember
that the number of pixels directly translates into clarity and quality
of the finished puzzle. For this reason, images less than 400x600
pixels should not be used. When using a print picture, the smallest
possible size is a 2.5-inch x 3.5-inch wallet size. Also, be sure
that you own the copyright of the image or have the proper permission
to use the image in question as copyrighted images cannot be reproduced.
If you have your heart set on a specific photograph, you may need
to choose a smaller puzzle in order for the image to look its best.
If you have any questions regarding a specific image, the knowledgeable
staff at Up in Pieces will be glad to help! Furthermore, consider
consulting the graphic design staff at Up In Pieces, who will work

professional.
