Build a Magnetic Photo Wall with Neodymium Disc Magnets

Want to display your favorite snapshots, family moments, or prints without committing to picture frames or damaging your walls? A magnetic photo wall gives you the freedom to rearrange and update your display whenever you like – using just a metal surface and small neodymium magnets.


Two Easy Setup Options

Option 1: Magnetic paint

Paint a section of your wall with magnetic primer. Once dry, you can attach your photos directly with magnets.

Option 2: Metal board

Attach a slim steel panel to your wall – raw, painted, or framed – and turn it into a reusable magnetic gallery.


Best magnet sizes for photos:

We recommend these disc magnets:

10 mm × 2 mm: ideal for standard photo paper and postcards
8 mm × 1 mm: best for lighter prints and Polaroids
5 mm × 1 mm: great if you want ultra-discreet magnets

Tip: Use multiple small magnets for larger prints to avoid curling edges.

✔ Easily swap photos anytime
