What service do you want to choose?
My Ravensburger: to choose its format and box
The my Ravensburger configurator is suitable if you want to start from a well-identified format and adapt the gift to the person receiving it. The range includes adult puzzles of 500 to 2,000 pieces. Check the possibilities of customizing the box and the final framing – two things that change the presentation of the gift a lot.
A reference identified: the Christmas photo puzzle 1000 pieces
This customizable Christmas reference measures 70 × 50 cm In its version of 1000 pieces. 4005556800452The button leads to the official configurator: the rate depends on the version and the options chosen.
The reference and the EAN identify the commercial medium; they do not mean that all custom photo puzzles have the same universal code.
CEWE: distinguish between the two
CEWE offers its own range of photo puzzles as well as Ravensburger photo puzzles. The 500-piece CEWE puzzle measures 34 × 48 cm, while the 500-piece Ravensburger at CEWE measures 36 × 49 cm. This detail counts whether you are preparing a frame or using a small tray.
The service offers layouts with multiple images and text.For a first attempt, a large readable photo is often easier to assemble than a mosaic of many small portraits. See the CEWE photo puzzles and their options.
Photoweb: from small to 1000 pieces
Photoweb offers 24, 70, 100, 280, 500 and 1000 pieces. This allows you to adapt the project to a child or adult without automatically choosing the most difficult format. The announced dimensions are 35 × 49 cm for the 500 pieces and 49 × 68,7 cm for the 1000 pieces.
Before validating, look at the photo preview, any texts and the box presentation. See the Photoweb configurator.
How do you prepare a photo that gives a good puzzle?
Get out of the original file. A photo sent several times by mail or a screenshot may be less detailed than the original. Follow the configurator quality indicator for the format chosen; an acceptable image on the phone may not be clear once enlarged.
Check the edges and faces. Leave space around important people. The cropping can cut off a face placed near the edge, especially if the photo and puzzle do not have the same proportions. Also read any text added to the box.
Think of the assembly. A scene with several color zones, objects and details offers more landmarks. A large uniform sky, a very dark photo or a portrait on a united background can make the puzzle more demanding. Choose this difficulty voluntarily.
500 or 1000 coins for a present?
A 500-piece coin is a reasonable choice for a person who occasionally assemble and has little room. The 1000 pieces are best suited for someone who enjoys sessions spread over several days. For a child, consider the age recommended by the manufacturer and his experience, rather than just his interest in the photo.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do you think you should wait for a photo puzzle?
Add manufacturing and delivery. Time limits vary according to format, carrier and period. For Christmas or an anniversary, use the estimate displayed at the payment and provide a margin; the shipping date is not the date of receipt.
Can we compare the services to an EAN?
A specific customizable product may have an EAN, such as the Ravensburger reference above. On the other hand, a photo creation performance does not always have a usable product code. We then use the official link of the service, without inventing any reference.
Our advice before ordering
First, choose a readable photo and a suitable number of pieces. Then compare three equivalent baskets: same dimensions, presentation, options and delivery. This is a comparison more useful than a ranking based solely on a promotional price.
