Palapeli is a free and open-source computer program for Linux, Windows, and macOS that allows users to create, play, and share jigsaw puzzles. It is designed to be easy to use while offering powerful puzzle-creation tools.
Users can make puzzles out of their own photos and images, or use images that come bundled with the software. Pieces can have various shapes like squares, triangles, polygons, circles, and more. The number of pieces can also be customized anywhere from 4 to 10,000.
The puzzle editor allows images to be cropped, rotated, and configured so the finished puzzles have clean edges that fit together perfectly. Grid, photo, and blob piece shapes help ensure the puzzles are interesting and challenging to assemble.
In puzzle play mode, players can zoom in and out, pan around, choose different background colors and textures, or enable a timer to challenge themselves. Completed puzzles can be saved and shared online for others to download and enjoy.
With its family-friendly theming, intuitive interface, and active community support, Palapeli is an ideal jigsaw program for puzzle fans of all ages and skill levels looking for new ways to challenge themselves and share their favorite puzzles.
