How to Make a Puzzle From a Picture

Making your own custom jigsaw puzzle from a photo or photos is easy.

Step 1: Choose Your Puzzle Design

The first step in creating a custom puzzle is selecting the design that best fits your vision. Shutterfly offers a variety of puzzle designs, from simple borders to more elaborate patterns that complement your photo. Choose a design that enhances your image without overshadowing it, whether you’re going for a clean and minimalist look or something more creative. If you’re crafting the puzzle for a particular event or holiday, look for seasonal or themed designs to match.

Step 2: Select Your Puzzle Size

Next, decide on the size and complexity of your puzzle. Shutterfly offers a range of photo puzzle sizes, from smaller, easy-to-assemble puzzles to larger, more intricate ones with up to 1,000 pieces. Consider your audience when making this choice—a 60-piece puzzle might be perfect for a fun family activity with younger kids, while a larger, more challenging puzzle could be ideal for adults looking to unwind or engage in a longer project. If you’re gifting the puzzle, think about the recipient’s skill level and preferences.

Step 3: Upload Your Photo

Now it’s time to upload the photo or photos that will serve as the heart of your custom jigsaw puzzle. Whether it’s a scenic landscape, a candid shot of your loved ones, or a snapshot from a memorable occasion, ensure the photo is high-resolution to guarantee a clear and vibrant puzzle. If you’re torn between a few favorite images, think about how each will look in puzzle form—detailed images can create more challenging puzzles, while simpler ones might be easier to piece together. Or, make a puzzle that features a collage of photos so you can showcase several of your favorites. Shutterfly’s platform makes it easy to upload your photo directly from your device or social media accounts.

You might want to include a heartfelt message or the date of a special occasion to make the puzzle even more personal. Take some time to preview your design and ensure that all elements—whether it’s the photo placement or any added text—are aligned just the way you want. This step allows you to make any necessary tweaks before finalizing your order.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Once you’ve perfected your design, it’s time to place your order. Shutterfly will craft your custom puzzle using high-quality materials, ensuring that the colors are vibrant and each piece is sturdy enough to last through many assemblies. Within a short time, you’ll receive your personalized puzzle, ready to be enjoyed by you or your loved ones.

Loved ones will especially enjoy having an original piece of art on their wall.

Photographing Your Kid’s Artwork

Capturing your child’s artwork is a simple process with a few easy steps. Start by finding a spot in your home with good natural light—this will help you get the best photo. Set up your shoot area with a solid-colored background, like a white poster board, to make the artwork stand out.

Place the artwork in the center of the background and use a stool to position yourself directly above it. This top-down angle ensures a clear, distortion-free shot. Be sure no shadows from your body or other objects fall into the frame.

Turn off your camera’s flash and shoot at the highest resolution possible. If you’re using a DSLR, you’ll get the best results, but a phone camera can work too. For smaller items like mugs or charms, a phone photo should suffice. For larger items, such as wall art, use a professional camera to ensure high quality. After taking your photos, upload them to Shutterfly to start customizing your keepsake.

Resources Related to Turning Kids Artwork into Gifts

While a store-bought gift used to be the norm for gifting to loved ones, custom gifts from Shutterfly can leave a lasting impression, especially when you involve your own kids. Instead of letting paintings and drawings pile up, you can use your kid’s creations to make a beautiful gift with a homemade feel that any loved one will appreciate. Start sharing the joy that’s been hanging on your refrigerator with your friends and family today. Whether you put their artwork on your custom iPhone case or a jigsaw puzzle, you’ll love having these one-of-a-kind keepsakes to look back on as your child grows up.
