“And you know, I didn’t expect it, but I really do like the jigsaw puzzle much more than I thought I would. It’s very meditative."

PuzzleMe’s user-friendly interface provides a smooth solving experience across devices, even for a game as visually demanding as a jigsaw puzzle. The jigsaw canvas adapts automatically to the height and width of the user’s screen, thanks to PuzzleMe’s responsive and device-agnostic layout.

PuzzleMe stores game progress locally on a player’s browser, which allows for a seamless play experience even if they take breaks. So, when they revisit the jigsaw, the player is able to pick it up where they left off. PuzzleMe’s support for session continuity also enables solvers to switch devices while playing a game. Progress isn’t lost as long as the player can be identified with their unique ID.

Solving jigsaw puzzles is more fun with friends. With PuzzleMe’s Social Play, players can invite friends and family to solve with them.

Upto 4 players can solve jigsaws collaboratively with PuzzleMe.

Jigsaw puzzles are made unique both by the images that they are cut from, and the number of puzzle pieces they are made of. With PuzzleMe, creators can define the number of rows and columns an image should be split into. When multiplied with each other, these numbers yield the number of pieces that the puzzle will comprise. Jigsaw puzzles can carry a few hundred pieces, though it is recommended to keep this number low to enable a smooth solving experience on mobile devices.

Users looking for a competitive, yet secure and friendly experience can play PuzzleMe’s jigsaw puzzles in Contest Mode. When enabled, the feature starts the game with broken pieces and provides players with no visibility on the final image. Functions that allow image viewing and hints about edges-only pieces are disabled by default. PuzzleMe’s contest mode is perfect for creators, communities and businesses looking to organize competitions and tournaments.

PuzzleMe’s assist features are designed to elevate players’ experience of solving jigsaw puzzles. The “edges-only” feature temporarily hides the pieces that form the interior of the puzzle, allowing solvers to complete the peripheral structure before working on the inner grid.

Another assist feature permits players to reference the final image while solving the puzzle. These features are disabled by default when the game is in contest mode.

Jigsaw Creators can change the background color of their jigsaw images while creating a jigsaw puzzle on PuzzleMe. The three mobile screenshots of the jigsaws show various background colors being used for three unique jigsaw images.

Making a jigsaw puzzle with PuzzleMe is as fun as solving one. Our online jigsaw puzzle maker allows you to complement the image chosen for a jigsaw game with a custom background color. Use an RGB combination, the HEX code, or simply hover around the palette to pick your color of choice. The jigsaw maker by PuzzleMe enables constructors to create an experience as unique as the image itself.

How do I upload my own images to PuzzleMe?

To upload your images to PuzzleMe, you’ll need a URL link, therefore the images must be hosted on a separate server. Ensure that the link you paste into the PuzzleMe editor ends with an image extension (eg. PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, etc).

Some image hosts might not allow direct linking to the images. Need hosting? Check out these free image hosting services that allow hotlinking.

Direct image uploads aren’t available on Personal PuzzleMe accounts, but users on the Professional plan can upload images seamlessly. Explore the plan here.

Which file formats are supported?

PuzzleMe supports popular formats like PNG, JPEG, and SVG for jigsaw puzzles through image URLs. Your image server needs to be configured to serve jigsaw images. Please consult the jigsaw server setup documentation for more details.

While GIFs and videos aren’t supported as puzzle pieces, you can incorporate them into the puzzle’s visual messaging for added creativity. Please refer to the messaging section.

How do I solve puzzles collaboratively with my friends?

With PuzzleMe, you can solve puzzles with up to 4 players in real-time. Invite your friends through the multiplayer feature and enjoy a fun, collaborative solving experience together!

How many minutes of engagement can I expect with a jigsaw puzzle?

On average, players spend around 5–10 minutes solving a 7×7 jigsaw puzzle, making it a great way to boost engagement and keep your audience entertained.
