Shutterfly has always delivered an excellent product for me.

I've used them for collecting family photos into a book, cards, mugs...and a baby photo puzzle with just a few pieces for the same child for their 5th birthday.

All turned out beautifully.

Celebration, from this group, turned me onto them with a free gift.

their puzzles are all square or rectangular pieces, not true jigsaw shapes.

You can use either their stock photos (which are usually quite good) or your own. I don't recall how many pieces you can make it up to, but I often go to at least 2,000. And there are several shape-sets you can use, plus warping them a little so every piece is unique.

Personally, I think it's the best jigsaw program out there, and I have tried others. This one just has a more natural feel to it, and it's easy to use and figure out

I don't know anything about getting that kind of thing done. With a large monitor (I have a 24&quot I prefer to play them on the computer now. But, a physical one would make a nice gift or treat

My daughter shared a photograph that will make a great puzzle.

Her birthday is approaching and I thought she might like to have a physical puzzle.

You can upload your own photos, but this is a play only site. this isn't the right place to produce actual puzzles.

For most puzzles, you can select < 10 pieces to > 1000. You better have an awfully big screen for that > 1000 option though.

They mostly do collages on their products with some nifty software, but they offer puzzles. I see no reason you couldn't put just one photo on.

I got collage throws for my Mom and my Mom in law. Both times the ordering was easy, setup for the images simple and the items arrived really fast - much faster than I expected.

If you get a puzzle let me know what you think. Oh there are places that offer discounts for their products - just now when I checked for puzzles they offered a 60% discount for first time buyer.
