Turn a photo into a sliding puzzle
Choose Use your photo and pick any picture on your phone or computer: your cat, a holiday, a friend’s birthday. The middle of the photo becomes a square and is cut into pieces, then shuffled. Slide the pieces back until the picture is whole. When it is, the gaps close and the last corner fills in.
Your photo never leaves your device. It is cut and shown by your own browser. Nothing is uploaded to us, nothing is stored on a server, and the photo is gone when you close the page.
Start with 3×3 if you are new to sliding puzzles, then try 4×4 or more. A picture with clear shapes and colours is easier than a sky or a wall. Stuck? Hold the eye button to see the whole picture, or turn on numbers to see where each piece belongs.
Share it your way
When you finish, make a share card: your picture with your moves and time. It is drawn on your device too. Save it or send it wherever you like; we never see it.
