What is the recommended image resolution?Updated 7 days ago
We recommend using a photo that comes as close as possible to the printing size of each puzzle, listed in pixels below. Photos that exceed these sizes may look worse due to compression. The final product clarity depends not only on the file size and pixel dimensions, but also the clarity of the original photo and the number of pieces chosen. You can check the dimensions of your photo in the file details on your phone or computer. (If you don't know how to do this, feel free to reach out for help!)
Recommended pixel dimensions by puzzle size are as follows:
- 48, 100, 200, or 500 pieces: 5681 × 4279 pixels
- 1000 pieces, Quick-Start, or Advent: 7551 × 5681 pixels
- 1000 XXL and 2000 pieces: 10677 × 8031 pixels
Below are the image minimum sizes by puzzle size:
- 48, 100, 200, or 500 pieces: 1600 x 1200 pixels
- 1000 pieces, Quick-Start, or Advent: 2200 x 1650 pixels
- 1000 XXL and 2000 pieces: 3000 x 2250 pixels
If your image isn't large enough to meet these requirements, we recommend creating a photo collage puzzle. Because each image on a collage puzzle is smaller than the finished puzzle, a smaller minimum image size is required.
After uploading your picture and adding it to your puzzle design, our design software will show you a rating of 1 to 5 stars indicating the resolution of your photo. This rating can help you determine whether or not your image is suitable for the chosen puzzle format.
See the rating guide below:
- 5 stars = excellent
- 4 stars = good
- 3 stars = average; printed puzzle may be blurry
- 2 stars = poor; printed puzzle will appear blurry
- 1 star = bad; printed puzzle will be very blurry
*Please note that this scale only refers to the resolution of your picture. Our software cannot assess the image sharpness and general picture quality. The larger the chosen design for your puzzle, the higher the necessary image resolution. We cannot modify the resolution of your file. Additionally, our team cannot process refunds due to insufficient image quality. Please check the quality of your image before submitting your order.
