Which Photos Should You Turn Into Photo Magnets?

Some photos bring a moment back instantly. A familiar smile, a place you miss, a tiny detail you’d almost forgotten.

Choosing photos for personalised photo magnets doesn’t have to mean finding your most polished pictures. Start with the ones that mean something to you, then choose clear images that will print well.

Start with the everyday moments

Birthday portraits and holiday photos are lovely, but ordinary moments deserve a place too.

A child asleep against your shoulder. Your dog in their favourite sunny spot. Someone laughing at the kitchen table. These are often the photos that feel most like your life.

A small collection can bring those moments together without needing a theme or matching colours.

Mix familiar faces with favourite places

Your collection doesn’t have to be all portraits. Include a beach you return to, the garden at your childhood home or a view from a trip you still talk about.

Mixing people and places creates a collection that tells more of your story. Think about what each photo brings back, rather than whether they all look alike.

Choose photos that work in a square

Remember Yesterday photo magnets are square, so a little space around the subject helps when cropping.

Look for clear, well-lit images where faces and important details are easy to see. Original phone photos are welcome. Where possible, upload the original image rather than a screenshot or a copy downloaded from social media.

Before ordering, preview a square crop on your phone. Check that nobody’s face is cut off and that the detail you love still has room.

Choose the size that suits your photos

The classic 50mm photo magnets work well for a collection of different moments. The larger 63.5mm magnets give each image more room, which can be helpful for a favourite portrait or a photo with smaller details.

You don’t need to fill your fridge at once. Start with a few favourites and add more as life gives you new moments to keep.

Let your collection grow

There’s no perfect set of photos. You might begin with family memories, then add a new arrival, a favourite adventure or a much-loved pet.

The collection becomes yours through the moments you choose.

Remember Yesterday photo magnets are printed and hand-pressed in Melbourne, turning your chosen photos into little keepsakes for everyday life.

Because yesterday only happens once.
