About

JigCraft

Features

Read full description

JigCraft is a quiet jigsaw desk. Cut a painting into 9–400 interlocking shards, drag and snap them on a wood table, and sort the tray by edge or hue. Ghost overlay, frame outline, and a find-one tip stay optional. Import a photo, stitch the daily canvas, then play Shard Hunt and Twin Crop from the same art shelf. Frames, pigment, and a finish wall keep the sit calm. Offline. No ads.
