What kind of photos work best for magnets?
For the best photo magnet results, we recommend using pictures taken on a modern camera or cellphone with a prominent subject and bright colors. Low-resolution web images may not turn out as well as images captured directly in-camera or high-quality scans. Our customers also have great results printing selfies, school picture magnets, save-the-date photo magnets, family photos, and landscape photography magnets.
What resolution should a photo be for magnets?
Higher image resolution produces better photo magnet prints. For our 2.5" × 3.5" rectangle magnet, we recommend at least 1260 × 960 pixels. For our square magnet, about 962 × 962 pixels, and for our round magnet, about 786 × 786 pixels. These sizes allow the image to wrap around the edges for a seamless finished look.
Can I use photos from my phone for photo magnets?
Yes! In fact, pictures from your phone are some of the best candidates for photo magnets because they are high resolution and ready for printing. We also have customers who have had success printing old or scanned photos as magnets. As long as the image has good clarity and contrast, it will produce a successful print.
Can I add text to a photo magnet?
Our online customizer tool includes text tools that you can use to personalize your photo magnets with a variety of fonts, styles, and colors. Many customers add names, dates, or captions to make their custom photo magnets even more personal.
Can I order photo magnets in bulk?
Yes, and in fact we offer significant price discounts for bulk photo magnets. We print magnets for many photographers who sell their artwork as photo magnets and take advantage of our bulk pricing. Bulk orders are also popular for events, wedding favors, and promotional giveaways.
Are photo magnets good for save-the-date announcements?
Yes. Photo magnets are a popular choice for save-the-date announcements because they are both decorative and functional. Guests can place the magnet on their refrigerator as a reminder of your event date. Many couples create personalized save-the-date photo magnets using engagement photos along with the wedding date and location.
