Design a magnet that is entirely your own.
Start with any photo, then make every call yourself: the shape, the size, the finish, the words. You sit in the designer's seat, and nothing is printed until you approve a free proof.
Every choice is yours to make.
Any photo
Upload a phone snap, a scanned print or a professional shot. We check the resolution and crop before it goes near a press.
Any shape and size
Square, round, heart, portrait, landscape, or a die-cut that follows the outline of your image exactly.
Add your words
A name, a date, a short message, laid out cleanly over or beside your photo and shown on your proof.
Matte or gloss
Choose a soft, low-glare matte or a rich gloss that makes colours pop, whichever suits the image.
One or many
No minimum. Make a single keepsake or a set as gifts; bigger quantities cost less per magnet.
Free proof
See the exact result before you commit. We revise the crop, colour and text until you are completely happy.
Custom photo magnets, designed exactly the way you want
There's a real difference between ordering a photo magnet and designing one. A standard photo magnet takes your picture and prints it, which is lovely, and often all you need. A custom photo magnet hands you the controls. You decide the shape that flatters the photo, the size that suits where it'll live, the finish that brings out the colours, and whether to add a name or a date to mark the moment. The magnet that comes back isn't just your photo on a magnet; it's a small object you actually designed.
That freedom matters most when the photo means something. A picture of a new baby wants a soft matte finish and maybe the birth date beneath it. A bright holiday shot comes alive in gloss and a generous landscape crop. A pet caught mid-yawn is perfect as a die-cut that follows their outline. Giving you those choices is the whole point of a custom photo magnet, and because you approve a free proof before we print, you get to see the decision play out before committing to it.
How the design process works
We've kept it deliberately simple, so you don't need any design experience. Upload your photo and we immediately check that it's sharp enough to print well at the size you've chosen. Pick your shape, size and finish, and add any text you'd like. Our team then lays everything out properly, getting the crop right, balancing the text, making sure nothing important sits too close to the edge, and sends you a free digital proof. You can ask for changes as many times as you need; nothing goes to print until the proof is exactly right. It's the control of designing your own, without the fiddly software.
Built like the rest of our range
However you design it, the underlying craft is the same one we use across magnets.cc. Your photo is printed at high resolution on rigid, low-glare stock, then bonded to a strong, even-pull magnetic backing so the finished piece feels substantial and grips firmly. Order a single one-off and it gets the same care as a bulk run. If you'd rather not design from scratch, our straightforward photo magnets print your picture beautifully with fewer decisions, and our broader custom magnets handle logos, artwork and text-led designs.
Perfect for gifts and occasions
Because each one can be different, custom photo magnets make genuinely personal gifts. A set where every magnet shows a different photo from a shared year; a single magnet carrying an inside joke only one person will understand; a run of matching designs for a celebration. If you're planning a wedding specifically, our wedding photo magnets are tailored for save-the-dates and favours, and for everyday kitchen duty our fridge photo magnets add a tougher finish. Whatever the occasion, you design it, we make it last.

Questions, answered.
How do I design one?
Upload your photo, choose a shape and size, pick a matte or gloss finish, and add text if you want it. We send a free proof so you can fine-tune the crop and colour before we print.
What shapes and sizes can I choose?
Square, portrait, landscape, round and heart shapes in a range of sizes, plus die-cut options that follow the outline of your image.
Can I add text or names?
Yes. Add a name, date or short message and our team will lay it out cleanly over or beside your photo, then show you the result on your proof.
Can I order just one?
Yes, no minimum order. Make a single one-off or a larger set; the per-unit price drops as quantity rises.
