Make your first puzzle. Then make it your own.
Get to know JigsawDesigner, follow a complete project, or explore the editing tools. The making guide also explains what to check in your cutting software before using a machine.
01
Understand puzzle cutlines
Start with the cut pattern: puzzle outline, piece-separation cutlines, interlock profile, and optional whimsy pieces. Then distinguish the design geometry from the SVG handoff.
You will be ready to
Recognize what the generator creates, what must be designed manually, and what remains a machine-specific decision.

How boundary-to-cutline generation works
See how a closed boundary, slot template, and generation settings become an SVG group.
Open guide02
Complete one project
Prepare a boundary, choose a connection profile, generate, inspect, and move the SVG into a downstream making workflow.
You will be ready to
Finish a repeatable boundary-to-SVG workflow with an explicit inspection checklist.

Jigsaw generation reference
Review supported inputs, parameters, result inspection, and common generation problems.
Open guide03
Edit and export
Treat the generated result as vector geometry: inspect groups, adjust points and transforms, then export SVG at the intended scale.
You will be ready to
Refine the result without mistaking the export for a finished machine setup.
Level: IntermediateReading time: 8 min
Edit generated SVG geometry
Use selection, point editing, layers, grouping, resize, and rotation to refine a result.
