Jigora turns pictures into proper jigsaws. Use a photo from your library, take one with the camera, or pick a scene from the built-in gallery. The gallery is original illustrated artwork made for the app—travel, animals, food, art, and more—not stock photos of real places. Scatter the pieces, drag them onto the board, and listen for the snap. Grids scale with the picture, from an easy evening to Expert, Master, and Extreme with Jigora Pro. Leave mid-puzzle and Jigora remembers the board. Your pictures stay on this device. There is no account and nothing to upload. Restore purchases in Settings if you switch phones. A few scenes in every category are free (47 of 320). Jigora Pro is a one-time unlock for the rest of the gallery and the Expert, Master, and Extreme grids. Made for iPhone and iPad. Sit down, pick a picture, and lose an hour to the pieces.
