How to Add Custom Images in Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery
DIRECT ANSWER
Use JPG or PNG images. Choose My Puzzles for an individual custom puzzle or the custom gallery for a larger set, then use the game’s Open Folder action to locate the current directory. v1.3.2 blocks Start and shows a message when an image cannot load. No universal pixel size or aspect ratio is confirmed.

IMPORT CARD / 07
Use the game to locate the folder
This avoids publishing a hard-coded path that can vary by machine or environment.
- 01Pick a mode
Use My Puzzles for one image or custom gallery for a collection.
- 02Open the folder
Use the in-game action added in v1.2.12.
- 03Add JPG or PNG
Copy supported files into the folder surfaced by the game.
- 04Read validation
On v1.3.2, invalid images disable Start and show a message.
Why this page exists: A player wants the supported import formats and safest way to find the correct folder.
Choose My Puzzles or a custom gallery
The store describes both paths. My Puzzles is the direct route to a puzzle from one of your images. The custom gallery is designed for a collection and can use up to 83 custom images according to the current store copy.
Prefer the in-game path
v1.2.12 added Open Folder and Report a Bug buttons that copy their relevant paths. That is safer than a guide hard-coding one Windows directory for every installation.
- Do not rename an unsupported file extension to JPG or PNG.
- If Start is disabled, read the v1.3.2 load message.
- Keep backups of the original images outside the game folder.
Image size remains a real unknown
The official sources checked do not publish an ideal pixel dimension or aspect ratio. This page therefore does not promise that a specific crop will avoid stretching.

Follow every claim to its evidence.
E1 is first-party. E2 is a community observation or route. Later official updates can supersede version-sensitive details.

Publication limit: Supported formats and the folder action are confirmed; a universal image size, crop, and literal filesystem path are not.
