Your camera roll is full of moments you never look at twice. ScrapIt takes those photos and gives them a second life, first as a puzzle you have to piece back together, then as a page in a digital scrapbook you can decorate and share. It's part game, part memory keeper, and it's built to be fun for everyone in the family. Here's what it does, who it's for, and how to get started.
What is ScrapIt Puzzles?
ScrapIt is a free iPhone and iPad app that transforms your favorite photos into interactive puzzles and beautiful digital scrapbooks. You can jump straight in with a gallery of breathtaking photo collections curated by friends, or turn your own photos into custom puzzles. Solve them in Classic or Timed mode, then decorate and share your memories, all from one playful, touch-friendly app.
The app is made by Foggo Apps, the independent studio of iOS developer Charles Chiejina. It pairs the satisfaction of a jigsaw with the warmth of scrapbooking, so the same photo can be both a challenge and a keepsake.

What makes ScrapIt different
Puzzles built from photos that matter
Most puzzle games hand you generic artwork. ScrapIt flips that around: it turns your own photos into custom puzzles, so the picture you're rebuilding is one you actually care about. You can also explore friend-curated galleries when you want a fresh challenge without choosing a photo yourself.
Two ways to play
Classic mode is the relaxed option, no timer, just you and the picture, perfect for unwinding. Timed mode adds a countdown for players who want a challenge and something to beat. The same photo can be a calm afternoon or a personal best, depending on your mood.
Scrapbooks you can decorate and share
Beyond puzzles, ScrapIt lets you build and decorate digital scrapbooks with stickers, drawings, and text. Reset, undo, and redo options give you room to experiment without fear of ruining a page, and when you're happy with a creation you can save and share it with friends and family.
Why turning photos into puzzles works
There's a reason rebuilding a picture feels so good: you slow down and really look at it. A photo that flew past in a camera-roll scroll suddenly gets your full attention, piece by piece, until the whole memory snaps back into focus. ScrapIt leans into that, the puzzle is the reason to revisit a moment, and the scrapbook is where you get to keep it. If you enjoy apps that make everyday photos feel new again, you might also like browsing the rest of the Foggo Apps stories for more in that spirit.
