One photo, one afternoon
Print a photo of the dog at twenty-four pieces and the afternoon is solved, for the cost of some card.
Drop a picture in, choose how many pieces, and get the puzzle back as an image — interlocking pieces cut across your own photo. Print it on card, cut along the lines, and it's a real puzzle.
Nothing stamped in the corner — a puzzle you can actually give away

Making a real one Print on the heaviest card your printer takes, or glue an ordinary print onto thin card and let it dry flat before cutting. The lines are there to cut along; a craft knife and a steady hand beat scissors. Want several photos in one puzzle first? Montage CyborgNeed the file smaller to send? Compress Image Cyborg— both in the same account. Your download link stays live for 60 minutes.
Because a printed one in a box takes a fortnight and costs thirty euros. This is for the afternoon you have now, with card and a craft knife.
Big enough to print properly, with nothing written across the corner.
A €1 day pass is a one-off payment. Nothing renews, nothing bills you next month.
No gallery, no feed, no camera-roll permission. Files go when the 60-minute link expires.
The rows and columns are worked out from your photo's shape, so the pieces stay roughly square — a wide panorama doesn't come back cut into slabs.

A printed custom puzzle in a box is a proper present and worth the money when there's an occasion and a fortnight to spare. The free puzzle sites keep your picture on their servers, wrap the thing in advertising and only let it be solved on screen — you never get a file. This gives you the image, full size and clean, and what you do with it is your business. Paid for by the €1 that got you in.
A short walkthrough: drop a photo, choose the piece count, print and cut.

A puzzle made of a photo people recognise is worth ten off the shelf.
Print a photo of the dog at twenty-four pieces and the afternoon is solved, for the cost of some card.
Post the puzzle instead of the photo — the scan, the ring, the new address — and let people work it out.
Cut one up, hide the pieces, and you have a treasure hunt that ends in a picture of the birthday child.
A puzzle of somewhere you both went, printed and cut at three hundred pieces, costs an afternoon and lands better than most things that cost more.
Twenty-four pieces of a map, a painting or a diagram, and the class has to put the subject back together before they can read it.
Their own drawing, scanned and cut into two dozen pieces, occupies far longer than the drawing did.
Whatever it's for, drop the photo and download the puzzle.
