What is Jigsawcat?
JigsawCat is an online platform that turns AI image generation into playable jigsaw puzzles, letting users create, share, and solve puzzles made from AI-generated artwork. Users can generate images by entering text prompts or choose from community-created puzzles, then instantly convert those images into interactive jigsaws with adjustable difficulty (piece count, rotation, hints) and multiple reference modes. The site combines a play-to-earn credit system (free credits earned by playing, paid credits for premium models and private puzzles), global leaderboards, and social sharing features so creators and solvers can compete, follow creators, and showcase popular puzzles. JigsawCat supports several mainstream AI art models, offers different generation queues and priorities for paid subscribers, and targets casual puzzlers, AI-art enthusiasts, content creators, families, and educators who want an easy, browser-based way to produce endless unique puzzles without installing software.

Frequently asked questions about Jigsawcat
How do I create an AI jigsaw puzzle?
Click the Create button, enter a text prompt (optionally include composition, style, or color details), choose an AI model, set piece count and rotation options, then submit the job which consumes credits; once generated you can open and solve or share the puzzle.
What are credits and how do they work?
Credits are the internal currency used to generate puzzles; there are Free Credits (earned by playing or given to new users) and Paid Credits (bought or included in subscriptions). Free Credits expire at the end of the following month (UTC) and can only create public puzzles and use standard models, while Paid Credits expire 30 days after acquisition, work with all models, and allow private puzzles and higher generation priority.
Can I disable ads and still earn credits?
Paid subscribers (Lite and Pro) can disable ads, but disabling ads prevents earning free credits through gameplay; free users cannot disable ads and continue to earn play-to-earn credits.
What models are available for image generation?
JigsawCat supports a variety of mainstream AI art models with different styles and capabilities; some premium models are restricted to Paid Credits or subscribers and model availability can change as the platform updates models.
Are puzzles shareable or private?
By default Free-tier generated puzzles must be public; Paid Credits and subscription plans allow you to create private or shareable puzzles with direct links for friends, and all puzzles have unique shareable URLs for social sharing.
How many puzzles can I create with each plan?
Creation capacity depends on credits and plan: Free tier starts with 50 free credits and can earn more by playing; Lite includes 3,000 paid credits monthly (about 200 puzzles), and Pro includes 8,400 paid credits monthly (about 560 puzzles), with additional credits purchasable at any time.
What devices and browsers work with JigsawCat?
JigsawCat runs in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and is optimized for mobile touch, tablets, and desktop; WebGL is recommended for some visual effects and the site suggests updated browsers for best performance.
How does the play-to-earn system work?
Players earn free credits by completing puzzles, daily logins, participating in events, and special challenges; the system awards credits based on activity and popularity, but free credits have usage and expiry limits and cannot be used on paid-only models or private puzzles.
What moderation and content rules exist?
JigsawCat applies family-friendly moderation and content filters to generated images to prevent violent or inappropriate imagery, and enforces these rules across public puzzles to maintain a safe community environment.
What support and community features are available?
All users get community access and standard support; Lite and Pro subscribers receive priority support, access to upcoming features, leaderboard/creator ranking tools, and additional community features like creator rankings and achievements.
