Selected-photo access only
Choose one image with Apple's Photos picker. Crafter Puzzle does not request broad photo-library access or offer a camera capture flow.
Your photos, your puzzle.
Crafter Puzzle turns one photo you choose into a calm sliding-tile puzzle, with local starter presets for offline play.
On the App Store since July 2026
Start from one photo or a local preset
15 bundled presets
Start immediately from one of 15 local images when you want a puzzle without choosing a personal photo or using a network connection.
Solvable sliding boards
Each chosen image becomes a solvable tile board with tap and drag controls plus a visible move count.
Choose the depth of the puzzle
Easy 3×3 and Medium 4×4
Both core difficulty levels are free for personal photos and bundled presets, with no ads, account, or subscription.
Hard 5×5 through Master 7×7
The one-time Crafter Puzzle Pro unlock adds Hard, Expert, and Master boards for denser play.
Board styles and history
Pro also adds premium board styles and a local completion history capped at 20 records; personal photos are never stored in that history.
Your photo stays in the play session
Processed on device
The selected image is split into puzzle tiles in memory. It is not uploaded to Crafter Apps or saved into an app photo library.
Small local preferences
Onboarding state, board-style choice, free completion state, and non-photo completion records use local device storage.
One lifetime purchase
Crafter Puzzle Pro is an approved, family-shareable non-consumable purchase handled by Apple through StoreKit.
Maker note
Why your photo lasts only for the play session
The personal image is there to make this puzzle yours, not to build a library around it. Crafter Puzzle receives one selection through Apple’s picker, creates tiles in memory, and keeps only non-photo completion facts. The photo is not uploaded, copied into an app gallery, or written into completion history.
