Choose photo for the photo puzzle

Which photo do you choose for the photo puzzle you want to make? You can think about this in a few ways:

• Which photo makes you happy?
  You naturally want to puzzle with a photo that makes you happy. Choose a photo that you recently took, that reminds you of that wonderful holiday or perhaps of you and the children. A nice photo makes it a lot more fun to puzzle with it every time.
• How easy or difficult do you want to make it for yourself?
  The photo you choose for the puzzle partly determines how difficult or easy you make it for yourself. Photos with a clear blue sky, with plenty of water or other large areas in more or less the same colour are particularly difficult. It is then difficult to see which piece belongs where, because everything looks the same.
• Is the quality of the photo high enough?
  Finally, take a look at the resolution of the photo. It must be high enough to print the photo on the puzzle. Too low quality would lead to pixels or a blurry image, causing you to lose moreyou would have to distance yourself to see exactly what is depicted on it.

How long does it take to complete a 1,000-piece puzzle?

How long you spend puzzling on a photo puzzle of 1000 pieces depends of course on how good you are at it and how much experience you have. World champions complete the puzzle with 2 people in just over 1 hour. It took them 1 hour, 1 minute and 29 seconds. The record with 4 people is even faster, they managed to put 1000 pieces in the right place in 58 minutes and 41 seconds.

It is more difficult to solve puzzles on your own, so you automatically have moretakes time. A good puzzler with some experience will take about 8 hours. This applies to an average puzzle, which does not involve very large areas with more or less the same colour. And do you have less experience with puzzles or is the picture a bit more difficult? Please keep in mind that this will take you 15 to 20 hours.

Tip: Are you not sure if you have the patience to calmly puzzle and complete the picture? Also see the options for the Paint by Numbers with your own photo.

How big is the photo puzzle?

A photo puzzle in 1000 pieces is approximately 50 x 70 centimeters. That is the size we use, so as not to make the pieces too small. The size of the individual pieces determines how large the puzzle as a whole will be. Larger pieces make it easier to complete the puzzle, but the overall size also increases. That is difficult if you want to frame the photo puzzle or use it in another way when you have finished it.

Smaller pieces would lead to a smaller puzzle, so you have enough space for it. In that case it becomes more difficult to remove the piecesdistinguish each other and put them together properly. That is why we choose this format. It is an average sized puzzle, so in most cases you have enough space for it on the table or on the floor.
