252 Piece Custom Puzzle

While a standard 252-piece puzzle typically measures 10" x 14", our custom puzzles are designed in a Large Format size of 14" x 19.25".

Why the extra size matters:
Our puzzle is approximately 92.5% larger in total surface area than the industry standard. By nearly doubling the size of the puzzle board without increasing the piece count, we create a much more premium and accessible experience:

• Easier to Handle: Because the puzzle is nearly twice as large, each individual piece is significantly bigger. This makes them easier to hold, maneuver, and see—perfect for kids, seniors, or anyone who prefers a more tactile experience.
• Stunning Visual Impact: A 14" x 19.25" puzzle feels substantial. Once assembled, it carries the presence of a professional art print, making it ideal for framing and displaying in your home.
• The "Goldilocks" Experience: You get the impressive physical footprint of a 500-piece puzzle but with a manageable 252-piece count that can be completed in a single afternoon.

Dimensions at a Glance:

• Total Size: 14 x 19.25 inches
• Total Area: 269.5 square inches (vs. the standard 140 sq in)
• Finish: High-definition print with a premium fit.

Because our 252-Piece Custom Photo Puzzle is a Large Format (14" x 19.25") product, image quality is more important than ever. We want your finished puzzle to be a masterpiece, not a pixelated mess—so we’ve built the tech to handle the guesswork for you.

Our Smart Resolution Check:
You don’t need to be a tech expert or know your "DPI" to shop with us. When you upload your image to our app, it instantly performs an Automated Quality.

While our app does the heavy lifting, we know some creators like to prep their files in advance. Because our 14" x 19.25" format is 92.5% larger than standard puzzles, we recommend the following specifications for a "high-definition" result:

• The Gold Standard (Ideal): For a professional, gallery-quality finish, aim for 300 DPI. Ideal Pixels: 4200 x 5775 pixels.
• The Clear Standard (Good): Your puzzle will still look sharp and vibrant at 200 DPI.Good Pixels: 2800 x 3850 pixels.
• The Minimum Threshold: Our app will generally flag images that fall below 150 DPI, as this is where "pixelation" (blurriness) can begin to occur on a puzzle this large.Minimum Pixels: 2100 x 2885 pixels.

Note on Aspect Ratio: Since our Large Format puzzle is 14" x 19.25", a photo with a 3:4 or 2:3 ratio works best. Don't worry if your photo doesn't match perfectly—our app allows you to crop and position your image exactly how you want it to appear on the final 252-piece board.

Our 252-Piece Custom Photo Puzzle is widely considered the "Goldilocks" of the puzzle world—it’s not too easy, not too hard, but just right for a single session of fun.
