The Internet Puzzle Database

IPDb Mission Statement
The Internet Puzzle Database (IPDb) is a 100% community-driven, non-commercial project. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to build the world's largest, most comprehensive archive of jigsaw puzzles and make that information accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Our Non-Commercial Commitment
We are built by puzzle lovers, for puzzle lovers. This means:
*Zero Cost: No fees, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases.
*Pure Experience: No advertisements and no selling of personal data.
*Community Funded: We are supported entirely by donations from our users, with every cent going toward the operational costs of our cloud-based infrastructure.

Powered by the Puzzle Community
Our growth is a testament to the incredible commitment of our members. Every puzzle in the IPDb has been added by someone in the community, and that’s exactly what makes this project special. The database doesn’t expand on its own — it exists and evolves because puzzlers everywhere choose to share the puzzles they love.
Those daily, weekly, and monthly submissions are what transform IPDb into a richer, more accurate, and more useful resource for everyone. When members contribute their puzzle data, the entire community benefits

Your Puzzle Journey, Organized
IPDb powers a shared database we all contribute to and search, but it also gives you powerful tools for your own puzzle life.
*Use existing records: Drop existing records into your own library. Choose from our almost 40000 existing records
*Create new records: Add new puzzles to the database. Add titles, piece counts etc. You can even use our Digital Assistant to help you.
*Unlimited folders: Create as many folders as you want to organize your puzzles.
*Set up a wishlist: Read reviews and see ratings from your fellow puzzlers and create a wishlist of puzzles you want to do one day.
*Manage your completions: Track every puzzle you complete — including when you finished it and how long it took.

Innovation Designed for Puzzlers
We believe that high-end technology should make your hobby easier, not more complicated. Here are three unique features that set IPDb apart:

True Multi-Platform Synergy
IPDb isn't just an app; it’s an ecosystem. Whether you are on a Desktop, Tablet, Mobile, or even a Smart TV, the experience is identical.
*Simultaneous Releases: When we update IPDb, the new features land on all devices at once.
*Device Coordination: Our "Hardware Link" allows your devices to talk to each other. If you are entering a puzzle on your PC but need to scan a barcode, your phone will automatically offer to handle the scan and instantly send the data back to your computer.

The Digital Assistant: Entry in Under a Minute
Adding a puzzle to a database used to be a chore. Our Digital Assistant changes the game by using smart image recognition to "read" your puzzle box.
*It automatically extracts titles, piece counts, and manufacturer details from your photos and populates the form for you.
*This has reduced the time it takes to add a puzzle from several minutes to under 60 seconds. Today, over 95% of all additions to IPDb are powered by this helpful agent.

The Perspective-Correcting Image Cropper
We want the database to look beautiful. Most photos of puzzles are taken at an angle, resulting in a distorted "parallelogram" shape.
*Our custom cropper allows you to identify the four corners of a puzzle individually.
*The system then automatically adjusts the image, removing the background and making it look as though the photo was taken from directly above. The result is a clean, professional-grade record every time.

Join the Family
IPDb is more than a database—it’s a global home. You gain instant access to a family of thousands of puzzle lovers. Through our Social HUB and built-in messaging system, help and friendship are always just a click away.
