Even though puzzles are not mainstream, they are one of the bestselling print-on-demand products. People who love puzzles are always looking for a new challenge. So, the niche may be small, but the demand is very high.
There may be lots of mass-produced puzzles, but people sometimes want something unique. That is why they seek custom designed puzzles. For ai artists, this is good news. You can easily create beautiful artwork with ai image generators, and then upload it to sell within minutes. The problem is that not all art styles work for puzzles.
Technically you can put any image you like on a puzzle, but you need to use specific styles if you want to make good money in this niche.
This article outlines eight of the most popular and bestselling art styles for puzzles that you can create with ai.
Note: the images below were created with Midjourney V6. The style of your puzzle art style will vary, depending on the ai art generator you use.

To conclude
With these art styles, you can create your own unique puzzles that makes you stand out from the others. From my research, I found out that the stained glass puzzles are the most popular. However, whichever art style you choose, make sure to keep things simple. Puzzles are meant to be fun. So the images should not be too complicated. Also, ai tends to have more errors with more detailed images; which means less errors with less detailed images.
Remember to upscale your images before uploading them and always ensure you do your own research to better understand your target audience.
