- 01How to Choose the Best Photos for MagnetsThe magnet is only as good as the photo. Pick faces in real light, originals from the camera roll, and one story per piece.
- 02What Photo Resolution Do You Need for a 2×3 Magnet?A 2×3 magnet is a small print. You need enough pixels to crop and still look sharp on the fridge — not a billboard file.
- 03 · Visual compare2×3 vs 2×2 photo magnetsSee the same phone photo as a 2×3 crop and a square crop. Craftigure prints the classic photo-shaped rectangle.
- 04How Should Photos Be Cropped for Fridge Magnets?A fridge magnet is a 2×3 rectangle. Crop for that shape — not for a square, and not for a full-screen phone photo.
- 05Glossy vs Matte Photo MagnetsGlossy pops colour and shows fingerprints. Matte hides glare and can look flatter. Craftigure prints a glossy crystal finish.
- 06How Photo Magnets Are MadeNot a factory line. A photo print, a glossy crystal finish, a magnet, and a 2×3 cut — handmade in Mississauga.
- 07How Long Do Photo Magnets Last?On an indoor fridge, a well-made photo magnet can keep its colour for years. Sun, water, and heat are what shorten that.
- 08How to Clean Photo MagnetsA soft dry or slightly damp cloth. No soaking, no solvents, no dishwasher. Glossy magnets show fingerprints — that is normal.
