Photo Collage
How long does it take to make a Photo Collage Puzzle?
The steps involved in the production of a photo collage jigsaw puzzle are DESIGN, APPROVAL, PRODUCTION, DELIVERY. The total time from order to delivery will vary from order to order but a good estimate is around 10-16 days. We normally need around 3 days to design your photo collage from the time we have received your image files and confirmed order. You will then be sent you a preview of the design and, after receiving your approval, take around 8 days to produce and delivery your puzzle. To be on the safe side, please allow 15 days lead time for your order, but we may well deliver faster than this.

You can upload your photos to our cloud. Just CLICK HERE
What should be the size and format of the image files I send?
The simple answer to this is to send the best quality (the highest resolution) you have. The better the images, the better the quality of the photo collage. Photos taken with a smart phone or digital camera will normally work fine. If you have older printed photos, you can either take a photo of these with your smart phone, or scan them at 300dpi or higher.
Image files should be saved in a JPEG (JPG) format. This is a standard image file format produced by most digital cameras and scanning software. We can also accept images in a PNG or PDF and other format. If you are in doubt, drop us an e-mail and ask about a specific format.
How many photos do I need to send?
There is no perfect number of photo that is required to make a good photo collage. It's good to start out by sending us 10 to 15 images but if have less than that then no problem. Please remember that more photos you include in the design, the smaller each image will appear.
We recommend that you choose the best and most relevant photos you have and send these to us. Depending upon the design, we may choose not to include some image so please let us know which photos "must" be included in the design. We will let you know if we need more images.
Can I see and approve the Photo Collage before you produce the Puzzle?
Yes. Once we have completed a collage layout, we will email to you a small scale preview version of the collage for approval. At this point you can request changes, add photos or add descriptive text to the collage. We will then incorporate these changes and send you a new revised preview version for approval. We will not proceed to produce a puzzle until we have your approval of the collage design and layout.
What is the largest size of puzzle you make?
The biggest puzzle we produce is a 1000 piece - 20×28in puzzle. Visit our Photo Collage page for a list of other puzzle sizes we can produce.
My photos are quite old or poor quality - can you improve them for me?
We will always do our best to enhance your photos but please note that this may not always be possible. Our aim is to make the highest quality photo collage we can with your images. To do this, we will work on each image to make it look the best it can and fit into the design of the collage. Images will be retouched to remove any dust, scratches, or fingerprints. The exposure and color balance of an image will be checked and corrected if required, and the focus sharpened if necessary.
