Turn a family photo, pet or holiday snap into a jigsaw. Pick the number of pieces (12 to 1000) and the tool works out rows and columns from the image's proportions, giving every inner edge a randomly shaped classic tab. Export three things: an image with cut lines — print it on card and cut along the lines for a handmade puzzle; an SVG cutting template for laser cutters, Cricut and similar machines to cut wood or card; and every piece as a transparent PNG for web games, lessons or designs. Tab size and shape randomness are adjustable, and Shuffle the cut gives an entirely new pattern.

## FAQ

### How do I make a physical puzzle?

Export the image with cut lines, print it, mount it on stiff card or thin board and cut along the lines. With a laser cutter, print the photo onto the board and cut with the SVG template for the best result.

### How does the SVG size map to real life?

The SVG matches the photo's pixel size. In your cutting software, scale it as a whole to the physical size you want (such as A4); the cut lines are a single red path.

### Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account, has no usage limits and adds no watermark.
