What File Formats And Photo Sources Can I Upload At Checkout?
Standard photo formats like JPEG and PNG uploaded directly from your phone's camera roll, a computer's photo library, or a cloud storage service work smoothly at checkout. The key factor isn't the file format itself so much as the underlying resolution and quality of the source image, as covered in the earlier FAQ on photo quality.
Can I Use An Old Or Low-Resolution Photo, Like A Scanned Family Photo?
Yes, older and scanned family photos can absolutely be used, and often make some of the most meaningful magnets, but it's worth scanning at as high a resolution as possible and checking with us if you're unsure whether a specific older photo will print clearly at magnet size.
Do You Offer Any Design Templates Or Do I Just Upload A Straight Photo?
The standard photo magnet product is built around your straight, uploaded photo, cropped cleanly to the square format, rather than a decorated template with added text, borders, or graphic elements. If you're interested in a specific design treatment beyond a straight photo, reach out to discuss what's possible.
What Makes A Photo "Press Well" As A Magnet Versus Looking Flat Or Cropped Wrong?
Photos with a clear focal point, good lighting, and a composition that works within a square crop tend to press best, while busy group shots, off-center subjects, or photos with important details near the edges are more likely to lose impact or get cropped awkwardly at the small magnet size.
