What is a jigsaw puzzle template?

A puzzle template is the pattern of interlocking cut lines without any picture. Templates are used to:

• Draw-your-own puzzles, kids draw or paint directly on a printed blank, then cut it apart.
• Craft projects, trace the outline onto wood, foam, or felt.
• Cutting guides, glue a printed photo to cardboard and cut along a printed template laid on top.
• Machine cutting, feed the vector version straight to a Cricut or laser cutter (see our jigsaw SVG guide).
• Classroom activities, write words, math problems, or quiz answers on the pieces so students reassemble the answer.

Template sizes and styles

Every template is available in two piece styles: Classic, the traditional rounded jigsaw look, and Angular, a modern geometric cut that's especially striking in laser-cut wood.

Helpful template options

• Add border, a clean outer frame that makes cutting and mounting easier.
• Show piece numbers, each piece gets a number so you can keep track of pieces, run classroom games, or provide a solving aid.

Printing tips

• Download the PDF and print at 100% scale (turn off "fit to page") for accurate piece sizes.
• Card stock (200gsm+) survives cutting and handling far better than plain paper.
• For a sturdy puzzle, print on paper, then glue to chipboard or cereal-box cardboard before cutting.
• Want the template over your own picture? Use the photo-to-jigsaw workflow instead, the cut pattern is applied to your image automatically.
