'''Jigsaw Puzzle''' ('''.JIG''') is a file format associated with ''Jigsaw 2'', a jigsaw puzzle game for Windows 3.x. The game was developed by Walter A. Kuhn.

A JIG file contains a raster graphics image, and other data. The '''.SAV''' variant seems to be the same format, except that it also contains a save state.

If ''Jigsaw'' version 1 exists, it hasn't been located.

== Identification ==
A JIG file starts with an embedded [[BMP]] file (presumably BMPv3), except that the signature bytes are changed from "{{magic|BM}}" to "{{magic|JG}}".

Note that the signature alone does not distinguish JIG from [[ART (AOL compressed image)]].
