Jigsaw puzzles by theme

60 pictures in six themes, every one playable as a free online jigsaw with friends: open one, pick a piece count from 24 to 1500, choose a piece shape, decide whether pieces may rotate, and press Create lobby. You get a link to share; whoever opens it lands in the same puzzle and sees everyone's cursors. No account, nothing to install.

The paintings, photos and space images are public domain or openly licensed (the source and licence are listed on each picture's page), and the retro ones were drawn for Pieceware. If you would rather puzzle your own photo, upload one instead, or drop into the global puzzle that everyone on the site solves together.

Which size should I pick?

Each picture shows a suggested piece count chosen for its level of detail, but you can go smaller or larger. As a rule of thumb, 100 pieces is a coffee break, 300 is an evening for one or a short session for a group, 500 to 1000 is a proper project for two to four people, and 1500 is the biggest we offer. The piece-count guide has time estimates for one to four players, and how to play explains the controls and how snapping works.
