Free Pictures

Here's a list of picture galleries for making your own jigsaw puzzles. There are many more available on the web. Choose pictures that are approximately the desired size of the puzzle. Puzzlemaking programs usually allow pictures to be enlarged, shrunk or cropped, but enlarging too much creates a fuzzy picture. Do not copy pictures unless permission is given. To save an image to your computer (from most browsers), right click the image and select Save As. Better yet, take your own photos or draw your own pictures using any computer graphics program.
