## What is Photo Jigsaw?

A jigsaw puzzle made from a picture of your own life — and now you can send one to someone you love.

The photos already on your phone are better than any stock image an app could pick for you. Your kids. Your dog. The trip you keep meaning to relive. My Personal Puzzles turns them into real jigsaw puzzles you can actually solve, on iPhone and iPad.

HOW IT WORKS
Choose a photo album from your library.
Choose a difficulty — from 16 to 64 pieces.
Solve.

No accounts, no setup, nothing in your way. Step away mid-puzzle and resume right where you left off.

SEND A PUZZLE TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE
Turn any photo into a puzzle and send it straight to someone — by Messages, Mail, anywhere. Add a "From Grandma" label and a little note ("Maggie loves her toys!"), pick the difficulty, and off it goes.

They open it, solve it, and the finished photo saves right to their own Photos. The puzzle is the moment. The picture is theirs to keep.

MAKE IT YOURS
Seven themes, one for every mood — Vintage Sepia, Neon Arcade, Paper White, Pure Black, and a high-contrast Accessible theme that's color-blind safe.
Alternate app icons — Gold, Midnight, Cream, Aurora. Down to the icon, it's yours.

KEEP YOUR STREAK, GENTLY
See puzzles solved, total time, and your best and average times by difficulty.
A daily streak that's there to cheer you on, not nag you. Miss a day, no guilt.

A FREE PUZZLE EVERY DAY
A new Today's Puzzle for everyone, every day. Even if you never spend a cent, there's always a fresh one waiting — and a memory resurfaces each time.

HONEST PRICING, FOR ONCE
Try it free: 20 full puzzles.
Unlock unlimited puzzles for a one-time $4.99.
No subscription. No ads. No tricks.

You pay once, and you're done forever. That's not a sale — it's just how it should work.

WHO LOVES IT
Parents making personalized puzzles for their kids.
People sending a surprise puzzle to family across the country.
Anyone with thousands of photos they never scroll back to.
Folks fed up with ad-stuffed, subscription-hungry puzzle apps.
Families sharing one iPad.

FROM THE DEVELOPER
I'm an indie developer, and I built the puzzle app I actually wanted: calm, personal, and honest about money. Your photos stay yours. There's no algorithm trying to keep you hooked — just your own memories, one piece at a time. And now you can pass one of those moments to someone else.

Pick a photo. Pick a difficulty. Solve.
Or send one, and let someone else
