From your smartphone to your fridge: this is how simple it works
You have thousands of photos on your phone.Beautiful memories you’d love to see. Every day. On your fridge.
But how does that actually work? How do those photos go from your screen to a real magnet?
The answer: surprisingly simple. Ordering photo magnets from Cre8magnets requires no technical knowledge, no hassle with formats, and no complicated steps.
Let us take you through the process. From that photo on your phone to the smile on your face when you hold your magnets in your hands.
Step 1: Select your favorite photos
It starts with the most fun step: scrolling through your photos and choosing.
Which photos should you pick?
Take your time. Which photos make you happy? Which ones make you smile automatically? Which moments do you want to see every day?
Think of:
- Family - your children, your partner, grandparents
- Friends – those unforgettable moments together
- Travel – that sunset, that view, that special place
- Pets – your loyal four-legged friend
- Special moments – anniversaries, graduations, weddings
- Everyday moments – because those matter too
You don’t have to choose 50 photos right away. Start with 5 to 10. You can always order more photo magnets later.
Tips for choosing photos
Choose good-quality photos.:
- Not too blurry or dark
- Preferably well lit
- Sharp enough to see details
Photos with faces work best:
- Close-ups of people
- Emotional moments
- Eye contact makes an impact
Think about variety:
- Mix different moments
- Different people
- Different periods of your life
Don’t worry about the format — we make sure your photo is printed optimally on the magnet. Portrait or landscape, it will look great.
Read why these memories are worth seeing every day.
