About Puzzle Detective: Piece Finder
Can't figure out where a jigsaw piece belongs? Puzzle Detective can help you find its most likely location. Take or import a photo of the complete puzzle image, then photograph or select an individual puzzle piece. Puzzle Detective shows you the most likely locations, helping you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your puzzle. HOW TO USE 1. Take or import a photo of the complete puzzle image. 2. Check and adjust the four corner handles so the complete image is framed correctly. 3. Photograph the puzzle piece you want to locate, or choose a photo from your library. 4. Confirm that the piece has been detected correctly, then start the search. 5. Review the most likely locations. Pinch to zoom and drag the image for a closer look. 6. Searched pieces and their locations are saved in the current puzzle for later review. FEATURES - Capture or import the complete puzzle image - Photograph or select individual puzzle pieces - View multiple possible matching locations - Zoom, pan, and inspect the complete puzzle image - Save searched pieces and revisit their locations - Create and manage multiple puzzle projects - Use the app in multiple languages - Enjoy guidance from a cute hamster detective throughout the search PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS 1. Keep the complete puzzle image flat, clear, and fully visible. 2. Avoid camera shake, shadows, and large areas of glare. 3. Keep the background clean and use a color that contrasts with the puzzle piece. 4. Place the puzzle piece near the center of the photo and keep it clearly visible. IMPORTANT Solid-color puzzle pieces do not contain enough visual information for reliable positioning. Results may also be affected by image clarity, lighting, glare, and areas of the puzzle that contain very similar patterns.
