When a special birthday came up for one of my daughters, I prepared a photo collage using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getpaint.net\/\">paint.net<\/a> and ordered a photo jigsaw puzzle from Venus Puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The puzzle comes in a custom box, shrink wrapped and with a copy of the submitted photo on the cover, commercial quality. Puzzle pieces and printing was of excellent quality.<\/p>\n<p>Since you can submit any image with the suggested proportions and dpi, this service can replace or improve upon the previously reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/hometown-puzzle\/\">hometown puzzle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage to this site is that it ships internationally with the same DHL charges for anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>For my next daughter I didn&#8217;t want to use DHL, and Venus Puzzle referred me to their sister site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piczzle.com\/index.php\">Piczzle<\/a>, which has the same product range and quality, also shipping worldwide (but with regular post instead of DHL).<\/p>\n<p>Base prices are a little cheaper on the Venus Puzzle site, but for my country, DHL added customs service charges that made it unattractive. The order from Piczzle arrived in about a week, instead of in 4 days.<br \/>\nNote that both sites are slightly clunky, and only the Venus Puzzle site has the necessary information on the recommended proportions and resolution: In my case I purchased the 550 piece puzzle which uses a 1:1.25 ration and minimum dpi of 150.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make a Jigsaw Puzzle Based on Your Photograph<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[44],"tags":[1001],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11292"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11856,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292\/revisions\/11856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
