Designing your puzzle
How do I make a personalised puzzle?+
Choose a design, upload your photo (or up to 20 photos for a collage), then arrange, zoom and rotate each image until it looks just right. Pick your size, add any text, and preview the exact cut over your image before you order. No design skills needed — most people finish in a few minutes.
How many photos can I put on one puzzle?+
A single-photo puzzle uses one image edge to edge. Our collage designs let you place up to 20 photos in one puzzle, and you can move, scale and rotate each one independently.
What photos make the best puzzles?+
High-resolution images with good lighting and a clear focal point work best. As a rough guide, aim for at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge for smaller puzzles, and more for a 1000-piece print. Our builder runs a live quality check and warns you if a photo is too low-resolution for the size you've picked.
Can I add a title or text to my puzzle?+
Yes. The builder includes a text tool so you can add a name, date or short message, with options for colour, an outline stroke and a soft background glow to keep it readable over your photos.
Do I need an account to design a puzzle?+
No — you can design and order as a guest. Creating a free account lets you save your designs to edit later, store delivery addresses, track orders and get help through support tickets. You can create one with the same email after ordering to see your order in your dashboard.
Sizes, materials & quality
What sizes and piece counts can I choose?+
Five sizes: 30 pieces (25 × 20 cm), 110 pieces (25 × 20 cm), 252 pieces (37.5 × 28.5 cm), 500 pieces (53 × 39 cm) and 1000 pieces (76.5 × 52.5 cm). The 30-piece size is great for younger children; 1000 pieces is our grand format.
What are the puzzles made of?+
Each puzzle is printed edge to edge using a dye-sublimation process for crisp, vivid colour, finished with a high-gloss varnish, on sturdy 1mm pressed paperboard. Every puzzle is supplied in a premium metal presentation tin with your design recreated on the lid.
How much does a puzzle cost?+
Prices are £24 (30 pieces), £26 (110 pieces), £32 (252 pieces), £36 (500 pieces) and £40 (1000 pieces). The price you see includes your fully personalised print and the presentation tin.
Will the print match what I see on screen?+
The builder previews the real finished aspect ratio and shows exactly where the pieces are cut, so what you arrange is what we print. For larger sizes we can automatically enhance the resolution of your photos so they stay sharp when enlarged.
Do you offer wooden or map puzzles?+
Our Heirloom wood-effect design and Custom map puzzle are coming soon. Today, every design is our premium printed jigsaw, available in all five sizes.
Delivery & shipping
How long does delivery take?+
Every puzzle is printed on demand. Production typically takes 2–4 working days, then UK delivery usually takes a further 2–4 working days after dispatch. We'll email you when your order ships, with tracking where it's available.
How much is delivery?+
Delivery is charged once per order, based on the largest puzzle in your basket: £1.99 for 30–252 pieces, £2.99 for 500 pieces and £3.99 for 1000 pieces.
Where do you deliver?+
We currently print and deliver within the United Kingdom only.
Gifting
Can I send a puzzle as a gift?+
Absolutely. Every puzzle arrives in a premium presentation tin, and you can ship it straight to the recipient's address at checkout.
Do you have gift ideas by occasion?+
Yes — browse our gift ideas for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other occasions, or personalise any design with your own photos and message.
Orders, changes & returns
Can I change or cancel my order?+
Because each puzzle is personalised and made to order, production starts quickly. Contact us as soon as possible and we'll help if it hasn't yet gone to print. Once production has started we're unable to change or cancel it, except where the item is faulty, damaged or not as described.
What if my puzzle arrives damaged or faulty?+
Our happiness promise stands behind every puzzle. If anything arrives damaged, defective, with missing pieces, or the print isn't as described, contact us within 30 days and we'll reprint or refund it. This doesn't affect your statutory rights.
Can I return a puzzle if I change my mind?+
As every puzzle is personalised to your order, we can't accept change-of-mind returns. If there's a problem with the item itself, we'll always put it right.
How do I get help with an order?+
If you have an account, open a support ticket from your account area and we'll reply there. Ordered as a guest? Use the Order help page with your order number and email — no account needed.
