How to make a jigsaw puzzle from your own photo
Upload a photo - a family picture, a pet or a holiday snap - or choose one of the gallery scenes, then pick a board size from 3 x 3 (9 pieces) for young children up to 10 x 10 (100 pieces) for a proper challenge. The picture is cut into pieces and scattered around the board; drag each one into place and it locks when it is in the right spot.
Start with the corners and edges, then fill in areas of strong colour or detail before the plain parts such as sky. Your photo stays in your browser and is not uploaded.
