## What is Photile?

Photile turns photos into beautiful sliding puzzles.  Swipe the tiles, rebuild the picture and watch it come to life.

Play with 600 stunning built-in photos — or unlock Photile Pro and puzzle your own world: your photo library, or a picture you take on the spot with the in-app camera.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
Everyone in the world gets the same daily puzzle — same photo, same scramble.  Solve it every day to build your streak, and see how long you can keep it alive.  Then take on the world on Game Center: a fresh fewest-moves leaderboard every day, and an all-time table for the longest streak.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Square grids from an easy 3×3 to a formidable 8×8 — or switch to a hexagon board for a real challenge
• NEW: true hexagon tiles that slide in SIX directions, in three sizes
• Open up 1, 2 or 3 tiles to tune the challenge
• Square, rounded or circular tiles on square boards
• Four tile materials — Clean, Wood, Steel and Glass — each with its own feel and sound
• Light and dark themes, four accent colours, and colours that adapt to every photo

BUILT TO KEEP YOU PUZZLING
• 45 achievements to hunt down, from your first solve to a 100-day streak — including a set just for hexagon boards (a few are secret…)
• Game Center leaderboards for the daily puzzle — today's fewest moves and the longest streak
• Best-score tables for every grid size
• Gentle helpers when you want them: tile numbers, gap hints, and a peek at the full photo
• Your puzzle saves automatically — quit anytime and pick up exactly where you left off

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS
Photile collects no data.  Nothing is tracked, nothing is uploaded, and photos never leave your device — pictures taken with the in-app camera are used for your puzzle and never saved.  No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts.  Ever.

Photile is free to play with the full built-in photo collection and the daily puzzle.  A small one-time purchase unlocks puzzles from your own photos and camera — yours forever.

Ready?  The picture's in pieces.
