Why buy a Computer Jigsaw
Everyone loves to do Jigsaws, and what better than a Computer Jigsaw Puzzle. The pieces can't get lost and you can't knock it over. You don't have to do it in one go, you can save your position and come back to it later.
It's even better when it is your own picture. Or, if you are a grand parent, a picture of your grand children. So people have Jigsaws made of their pets, houses, gardens, cars, boats and (in one case) a pigeon loft! Or ducket as he called it.
The possibilities are endless, if you have a photo of it, I can make
it into a Jigsaw. Please fell free to visit the
Examples Page and download some example Jigsaws.

What can I do with a Computer Jigsaw
Anything you like, as long as it is legal.
Keep it for your own personal use, give it to friends, relatives
etc. have it as a download on your web site, give it out on CDs or
floppy disc. These puzzles make great gifts or greetings for
friends and family who live far away. It is your Jigsaw so you can do anything you want
with it. And make as many copies as your want.

Can I use any picture
Yes as long as you own the copyright, or have
permission to use the picture. If the picture is yours, or you
have permission to use it, then it can be made into a Computer
Jigsaw. You CAN NOT just take someone else's
picture and use it for your Jigsaw, even if you did get it from the
Internet.

My picture is rather personal
"Personal or "Adult" pictures are fine, as long as they do not break United Kingdom laws or laws of the Purchaser's Country.
We have just about everything made into a jigsaw, and the chances are your picture will be old hat to us. We have no interest in the content of your picture, other than checking it is legal.
You can request that we remove your picture and finished jigsaw from our system, once you have received your jigsaw. Currently our system only deletes your pictures and jigsaws when they are 6 months old.
What size and shape picture can I use
You can use square or rectangular shapes of any size. However, I would not recommend using a picture larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels, as it may not fit onto the screen all at once. Nobody wants to do a Jigsaw they are never going to see all at once, do they.
The Examples Page contains Jigsaw made with square pictures of either 500 x 500 or 1000 x 1000 pixels.
Do I own the copyright to my Computer Jigsaw
Yes, once you have paid for your Jigsaw you
own it outright. You can do what you will with it, make copies
of it and give them to relatives, friends etc.

Can I advertise my business on a Jigsaw
Yes, but not a Personal Jigsaw. If you
want to advertise your business, or anything else on a Jigsaw you
must get it from the
Advertising Site.

What Software do I need to do the Jigsaws
You don't need any software, the jigsaws are completely stand alone programs. They don't need installing, just download them to a folder and double click them. You can also create shortcuts to them on your desktop.
How long does it take to make a Computer Jigsaw
Normally 1 to 2 working day, but please be patient if it take longer. Monday is usually a bad day as people order on Saturdays and Sundays, so on Monday I usually have 3 days worth of orders to produce!
If you have not received your jigsaw by 5
working days please email
Please don't change the subject as my email program flags
messages with this subject as URGENT.

I accidentally deleted my Jigsaw
Don't worry, we keep copies for 6 months and
will email another copy free of charge, email
We would encourage you to make copies of your Jigsaw as soon as
possible after receiving it.

I copied my Jigsaw on to a CD and it won't run
Unfortunately the Jigsaws cannot be run from a CD, they must be copied onto a Hard Drive to run.
The jigsaw program creates a temporary file when it is run. It cannot write to a CD, so it cannot create the temporary file, therefore it will not run.
We suggest you print the words "Copy to Hard Drive", or words to that effect on the CD.
It is possible to run a Jigsaw from a floppy disc, but they will be very slow. We suggest you treat them the same as a CD.
