How personalisation works
We'll turn your image into the giant puzzle you'll solve during your experience. To ensure the best possible results, please follow the image guidelines below.
Is my image upload secure?
Yes. We take your privacy very seriously. All images are used only to create your puzzle in accordance with our privacy policy and terms of service.
Who should the image be of?
The image can be a portrait of your choice:
> For a portrait of 2 people: Personalise with an image of 2 faces.
> For a portrait of 1 person: Personalise with any image of 1 face.
What kind of images are suitable for personalisation?
As this experience only focuses on portraits (faces), please ensure that the subject of the image is a person (or two people) in a way that follows our guidelines.
Will the puzzle image look exactly like my upload?
While the final puzzle is a large-scale pixelated interpretation of your image, it is designed to be fully recognisable and look fantastic in photos once you've stepped back to admire your work. Please view the example tab to see a real example.
Avoid bad lighting
Make sure your photo is well-lit. Poor lighting can make colours look dull and affect the final puzzle image quality.
Pick a background that contrasts with the faces
If the background is too similar to the subject's skin or hair, the image may blend together. A contrasting background helps the subject stand out.
Avoid selfies
Use a photo from a high-quality camera, as selfies are often lower resolution.
Avoid shadows on faces
Any shadows can distort facial details. Choose photos where faces are clearly visible and evenly lit.
For a double portrait (2 faces), make sure they are close together
To ensure both faces are as clear as possible, choose a photo where the two people are close together.
