How to Make a Jigsaw Puzzle?
Apr 07, 2011
Hello E-Learning Rock Stars -
Does anyone know about about an online (and ideally FREE) jigsaw puzzle generator? A tutorial on how to make my own in PowerPoint would be a great second choice if anyone knows of one.
I want to have individual jigsaw pieces with different phrases on them, animate them to come together to form a larger shape (with the puzzle lines still showing) , and as soon as the pieces come together have the words fade out and the project logo appear across the puzzle.
I know it's possible. It's just a matter of how long it will take me to figure it out. I'm learning to check in with this amazing community before spending half a day attempting something by trial and error.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I really like the puzzle pieces from the link Kayla suggested. Where do I put the code - or how can I get those pieces so that i can use them in my ppt.
I also love Jeanette's lesson on motion paths. Wow - there isn't enough time in the day to experiment with this stuff.

Hi Natalia
http://www.jigidi.com/ is an option.
Hi Randy,
This template is perfect for a course I am creating! I was wondering if there was any way to make the puzzle pieces form a picture?
Hi all
With clip art gone does anyone have a grouped vector image of puzzle pieces that they can share - I need to make a puzzle ASAP
Thanks
Thanks Randy, although this was posted a long time ago, it is going to be really useful.
I know it has been 4 years, but this was really helpful.
Thanks Randy!!!!
Richard Watson is a genius! I had the same problem and he exceeded my expectations in my time of need. Check out his website http://bridgehillls.com/ and it'll guide you through how to succeed your desired outcome using a free plug in for Photoshop.

How I'd do it:
Sketch it out on a piece of graph paper. Do yourself an ENORMOUS favor and make your puzzle pieces up out of squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals.
Scan the drawing into Illustrator. Lock it down as your base layer. On a second layer, draw your puzzle pieces. Use the Pathfinder tool to merge and trim the pieces as required.
Add your content using the Type tool.
Export the pieces one at a time as png files retaining transparency in the negative spaces.
