Your photos, easier to manage

A jigsaw puzzle is photographed flat, from above. Held that way, your phone can't always tell which way up it is, and the photo comes out sideways. Until now, you had to fix it in your photo gallery before uploading. Not anymore: you can now sort it out right here on The Puzzlovers.

All your photos at a glance

Your photos now sit in a grid, three per row on a phone. Nothing is cut off, and the "Add a photo" box stays in view until you reach the limit. The cover photo has an orange outline and a "Cover" label.

Each photo has two small buttons: the pencil to edit it, the cross to remove it. Removed by mistake? "Undo" puts it back in its place.

Rotate a photo

Tap the photo: it opens full size. Tap "Rotate" as many times as you need, each tap turns it a quarter turn. The photo is saved once, when you tap "Done".

In that same view, at the bottom:

• thumbnails of all your photos, to jump from one to another;
• the "Cover" star, to feature this photo;
• the "Move" arrows, to shift it one place towards the start or the end;
• "Remove", to take it out.

Put your photos in order

On a phone, press and hold a photo for a moment: it lifts up, and you can drag it anywhere in the grid. The other photos shift to make room. On a computer, just drag it with the mouse.

Wherever you add photos

The same grid and the same view work for adding a build, a Marketplace listing, the steps of your journey and the final album. On a computer, you can also drag photos in from a folder, or paste an image (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V).

Under the hood

• Uploads that stay out of the way: most photos go up in a blink, with nothing on screen. If an upload takes a little longer, a small circle spins on the photo, and a "Slow upload…" note only appears when the connection is really struggling.
• A screen that no longer freezes: preparing your photos, just before they upload, now happens in the background, most noticeable on Android and Windows computers.
