Custom 500 piece puzzle, made to be kept
500 pieces is the classic: a relaxed weekend build at 21 x 15.5 in, with pieces large enough to handle comfortably and the right size for a photo where you want the detail visible without squinting. Puzzably sells six sizes in total, from 30 to 2,000 pieces; 252 pieces is the featured default for a shorter, focused afternoon build, and 500 pieces is here for the classic weekend session.
Puzzably makes custom 500 piece puzzles printed to order and cut to a frame-matched finished size, so the puzzle is worth displaying once it is done. Start from your own photo or an original catalog design.
Why 500 pieces (and five other sizes)
It gets finished. A 500 piece puzzle is a realistic single-sitting or two-sitting project. That matters most for gifts, where a larger count can sit unopened because it feels like a commitment.
The pieces are satisfying. Larger pieces click properly and are pleasant to sort and handle. This is where cheap puzzles feel flimsy and well-made ones feel solid.
It suits photos. For a family portrait, a pet, or a landscape, 500 pieces keeps faces and detail readable, with pieces large enough to enjoy without squinting.
It's the classic, not the only option. Puzzably also sells 30, 110, and 252 pieces for shorter builds, and 1000 or 2000 pieces for a bigger project. 252 pieces, our featured default, is a focused afternoon build; 500 pieces here is the relaxed weekend classic.

How it is made
Upload a photo or pick an original design. The studio runs an automated pre-press check (resolution, sharpness at output size, crop) and warns you before checkout if the file will print soft. You approve the exact design, we print at 200+ DPI, die-cut to 530x390mm, and ship it as a finished, giftable object.
The 530x390mm size is deliberate: it matches a standard 50x70cm frame sold at most home stores, so displaying the finished puzzle needs no custom framing. See the Preserve and Display guides for framing without glue.
