Personalised Photo Puzzles in 24 & 49 Pieces

Our personalised photo puzzles in 24 and 49 pieces occupy an interesting space. Yes, they're designed with small hands in mind—toddlers and preschoolers learning to manipulate objects with purpose. But they've also found an audience among adults seeking quick, satisfying creative moments, elderly relatives who appreciate both the manageable size and the familiar faces, and anyone who finds a 1,000-piece puzzle rather too much commitment for a Tuesday evening.

How to Create Your Puzzle

Choose your size - Consider who'll be completing it and in what context. The 24-piece offers immediate gratification; the 49-piece provides a touch more engagement without tipping into tedium.

Upload your photograph - This is where you pause and consider what actually matters. A grandmother's face in good, clear lighting. A beloved garden in full bloom. That group shot from a milestone birthday where everyone's actually looking at the camera and smiling. Our design tool shows you precisely how your chosen image translates into puzzle form.

Preview your design - Take your time here. Ensure important details aren't lost where piece edges fall. Check that the composition works at this scale. Adjust until it's right.

Place your order - We'll print your photograph onto premium puzzle board using techniques developed over decades of rather obsessive attention to quality. 

Why Small Photo Puzzles Work

Personalised puzzles offer what shop-bought versions cannot: immediate recognition. When the image is your own pet or a favourite family holiday spot, you're inherently more invested.

For young children mastering hand-eye coordination, this matters. A three-year-old may abandon a generic farmyard scene within minutes, but a puzzle featuring their own face? They'll return repeatedly, driven by self-recognition and achievement.

At 24 or 49 pieces, these are actually finishable. Not a week-long dining table takeover, but a brief, achievable task. There's something to be said for activities that deliver satisfaction within a single sitting—whether that's a rainy Tuesday, or a quiet evening when you want something absorbing but undemanding.

Why these puzzles don't fall apart

Each personalised photo jigsaw uses the same manufacturing kit as Ravensburger's standard range. The die-cutting is precise enough that pieces lock together firmly without needing to force them.

The 2mm cardboard won't buckle when you're shifting assembled sections around, and the matt finish means you can work by a window without squinting through the glare.

Your Questions Answered

What age works best for a 24-piece puzzle?

We've designed these for children aged 3-5, though they've found an audience well beyond the nursery set. Some adults appreciate the brief, achievable nature of a smaller puzzle—particularly the XXL Mammut version with its generously sized pieces. Every person develops at their own pace, frankly.

What's the difference between the standard and Mammut puzzles?

The Mammut features XXL pieces—considerably larger and easier to handle than the standard 24-piece. At 69cm x 49cm when completed, it's a more substantial puzzle that works equally well for toddlers still mastering their grip and adults who find standard puzzle pieces unnecessarily fiddly. It's simply a larger, more tactile version of the same concept.

Does the 49-piece come in a tin?

Yes. The metal tin makes it rather more giftable and considerably more portable—ideal for travel, or simply keeping pieces corralled when puzzle time is interrupted by real life.

Can I see before I buy?

Absolutely. Our design tool shows you precisely how your puzzle will look before you order. No unwelcome surprises.

What makes a photograph work well?

Clarity, colour, and simplicity. Close-ups of faces, uncomplicated compositions, images with good contrast. With fewer pieces, simpler imagery creates more enjoyable puzzles. Think bold rather than subtle, clear rather than atmospheric.
