PuzziPix

Making a photo look like a jigsaw puzzle can make your work stand out a bit, regardless if you need it for marketing reasons or to simply impress your friends. PuzziPix doesn't simply stop at turning a photo into a jigsaw puzzle. The software places numerous controls at your disposal, which can help you add some depth to your work. Making your pictures look like a puzzle that hasn't been assembled yet or taking everything into a completely different direction, with new and unique designs, are just a few things you can do with this application.

PuzziPix is free to try, but it doesn't let you export your work. It can be installed in under a minute, on any modern Windows platform, as well as the latest Mac OS X versions. You don't need powerful hardware to run and you don't need to install any special tools or services. Besides installing it like a normal application, it is also possible to install PuzziPix as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Corel or Serif.

All you have to do is drag and drop a picture over the application's user interface and it will turn it into a puzzle right away. At this point, you can make use of various sliders and other controls, on the right side of the window, for bevel, texture and texture scale tweaking, as well as many other fine adjustments. What's more, the software automatically creates layers, so you can manipulate certain components, without disturbing others.

You can choose from a wide range of puzzle presets, in the lower part of the interface. There are all sorts of interesting effects available, besides simple, assembled jigsaw puzzles. You can make it look half-assembled, create a circular puzzle, change the shape and size of each puzzle piece and much more. The software does an excellent job when you select a default preset, but you can go much further if you take your time to look at the controls it has to offer.

With PuzziPix's simple and intuitive functionality, you can give your photos a unique look in just a few seconds, with nothing more than a few clicks.
