With this fantastic hobby or even professional pursuit you can delight your friends with your own creations e-mailed to them for them to play. Produce great images and puzzle cuts and shapes to challenge, intrigue and have fun. The images can be photographs, your own artwork, scanned in pictures of any kind. The puzzle pictures can really add to your own and your friends lives with emotionally appealing topics and also creating a challenging puzzle with tricky patterns.

Simple software at under $20 is in order here. I like Jigtopia for this as the puzzles can be e-mailed and used right away by your friends.

Online Jigsaw Puzzle Maker

You can enhance your companies website (delighting the site’s visitors), and promote your companies logo and products.

A jigsaw puzzle maker can create fantastic, engaging puzzles to place on any company website that really enhance the site. The jigsaws can form the company logo, a new product image, the company history, really relevant pictures on the products, company history or even just a picture of the location.

Also can be a fun way of keeping the company message in front of those great employees you have.

Unless you are going into full scale production as well a fairly simple software is good here. I like Yavsoft’s Flash Jigsaw Producer version. For $99 it lets you:

Create online Flash puzzles from your own images including animated images.

Puzzle pieces can be from 4 to 100 pieces.

Rotating pieces which can have your company logo for example on the back.

Choose the landing page on your site once the customer has completed the puzzle.

Provide a daily jigsaw puzzle for your company, charity or own website’s customers.

Try out the free download trail and be sure it works for you.

Images

There is a wide range of ways you will need to be able to compile great pictures for your puzzles.

Photos that you take or are submitted by clients are a great way. Any software will be able to take the photos, subject to size restrictions, and quickly upload into a puzzle format.

The company logo, product pictures, location photographs etc can easily be used and are highly relevant to your client.

Artwork by you, your clients or something relevant forms a great picture for a jigsaw puzzle maker to use.

You can of course look to the internet to get great pictures. Sources are:

Add value to your friends and customers. Come up with creative ideas on suitable puzzle pictures, create a gallery for them, try different ideas out. Your clients will know a lot about what message they want to convey and the themes they like. Your job will be to satisfy these requirements.

Remember this is a fun addition to any site as an online game. I have seen great puzzles on the London Stock Exchange site, the kids sites, charity sites, tourist sites and many, many more.
