All content on our web platform at https://create.gotiva.global, which has been uploaded and approved by our editorial team for distribution, is made publicly available in at least one of our apps. Currently, Gotiva is publishing one mobile app, Jigsaw Puzzle Universe, with more apps coming soon.

The moment an app user directly interacts with your content—playing the image or video as a puzzle in the case of Jigsaw Puzzle Universe—advertising revenue is generated. We share a part of that revenue with you.

The amount a creator can earn with Gotiva apps depends on various factors, such as:

• The popularity of our apps and the extent of our investment in acquiring new users.

• In the case of ad revenue, the number of ad impressions generated during interactions with creators’ content, which can vary based on Gotiva’s design decisions.

• The country from which a user comes, with the USA generating the highest revenue per impression, while outside the USA, the revenue per impression is much lower.

• In the case of subscription revenue, the number of users who convert to subscriptions.

• The quality of your content and how effectively it resonates with the target audience within our apps.

We highly recommend joining our Discord server for creators to gain insights into what works and to discover popular content among our users. This will significantly enhance your chances of creating high-performing content.

Please note that we do not provide performance metrics such as revenue per play, per impression, etc., due to many factors that can impact revenue, some of which we control and some of which we don’t. Overall, our motivation as a business is to grow our revenues, which will directly result in growing revenues for our creators.

There are a lot of different art styles that are extremely good for puzzles from traditional paintings, abstract paintings, vector type, collages to realistic illustrations. The only requirements are:

NO Nudity

NO Gore

NO Darkness

And it has to have a lot of details, with bright and vivid colors. There should be no empty spaces in the image. Which brings us to the next question and guidelines.

Great paintings do not necessarily mean great puzzles.

Here is a guideline on how to make or recognize a great image for jigsaw puzzle:

GOOD:

1. The composition is busy, there are no empty spaces anywhere.

2. Colorful and vivid. Different areas in different colors is how most puzzlers sort their pieces

3. Easily identifiable objects. When you look at a picture, you can clearly tell what is what.

NOT GOOD:

1. Big monochromatic surfaces where there is no distinction between pieces and it gets boring. Example: 40% of the image is a blue sky with no details in it.

2. The image can't be too dark

3. There is an optimal range for the size of the objects in relation to the whole image.

You can see examples of what are great jigsaw puzzles and what are not so good at the end of this FAQ. Scroll down to check it out.

For the best presentation of your art in both digital and printed formats, we highly recommend uploading high-resolution images. This ensures that your creations will shine in all their glory.

While the absolute minimum requirement is 2048x2048 pixels, we strongly advise aiming for a resolution of at least 4096x4096 pixels. Try to fit only with the filesize within the limit of 30 Megabytes.

Keep in mind that for digital distribution within the Jigsaw Puzzle Universe app, your artwork will be cropped to a square area. However, for physical jigsaw puzzle printouts, it will be formatted as a rectangle. No worries, though – you have the flexibility to make decisions during the upload process using our handy edit cropper tool. Let your artwork reach its full potential by providing high-quality, captivating images that users will enjoy in both digital and physical forms.

Exciting news for creators like you! Once your artwork gets approved, it automatically becomes available as digital jigsaw puzzles within the Jigsaw Puzzle Universe app, reaching a wide audience. However, we encourage you to let us to take your art to the next level by offering it as printed, on-demand physical jigsaw puzzles through our esteemed partner, PuzzleYou.

To make your artwork suitable for this purpose, please ensure that it is in a rectangular format (landscape or portrait orientation). During the creation process, you'll have the flexibility to select the desired area even from square images, using our print version cropper, and you can also choose the orientation that suits your vision best.

Keep in mind some technical considerations: To guarantee the best results, use the highest original image resolution possible. This enables you to zoom in comfortably and ensures that the printouts look stunning, especially in larger formats. Additionally, be mindful of the safe area around your selected image view, as areas too close to the edges might be omitted during the printing process.

So, seize this fantastic opportunity to expand the reach of your art by granting us the license to offer it as captivating physical jigsaw puzzles through PuzzleYou. Your creativity will truly come to life in both digital and physical forms, providing puzzle enthusiasts with an unforgettable experience!
