Are you looking for some fun decorations for your wall? How about stickable photo tiles?
Stickable photo tiles are a fun way to hang your photos on the wall. They are square tiles (usually about 8 inches by 8 inches) that come with and without frames. You can often get them in bulk so you can arrange multiple photo tiles on your walls in different patterns and styles.
If you need something classy and pretty to add to your home decor, check out these websites where you can get stickable photo tiles!
What are stickable photo tiles?
Stickable photo tiles are basically exactly what they sound like. They are boards (usually made of lightweight foam core) that can stick on your wall.
Often the photo is printed directly on the tiles or boards, so you can't change out the photos. Even if the tiles come with frames so they look like normal picture frames, they aren't. Once you get a photo printed on a photo tile, you can't change it.
They are also not canvases, so they aren't as long-term as other prints or canvases. A lot of other products are designed to last for a long time, and while photo tiles can last for a few years, they probably won't last a lifetime like a good canvas can.
One other thing to know when reading this post is that we reference mats occasionally, but they aren't really mats. They are basically big white borders that mimic a mat in a normal frame. They look really classy, but just know that when we reference a mat, we are referring to the border that looks like a mat.
Even if they don't last forever, stickable photo tiles are still a great product, and can look great on your wall! Check out these companies to find photo tiles that work for you.
One of the biggest differences is whether or not the stickable photo tiles has a frame or not.
Stickable Photo Tiles With Frames
Mixtiles
Mixtiles is probably the most popular option on this list, for good reason.

Each Mixtiles comes with a sticky strip on the back. Just peel the plastic off this adhesive strip, and stick it to the wall. You can reposition your Mixtiles easily, up to two dozen times.

Shutterfly makes lightweight framed photo tiles with double-sided adhesive. The adhesive will allow you to hang your photos easily, and you can rearrange them without leaving any sticky residue.
The photos are printed on their signature cardstock and are of really great quality. They aren't going to work very well for wallpapered or heavily textured surfaces though, so just a heads up!

MixPix tiles are made out of light foam so they are super lightweight and easy to hang on the wall.

- Size: 8x8 inches
- Frame: No frame or mat
- Manufacturing time: 1-2 days
- Shipping: Free shipping
How does PhotoSquared work?
Honest disclaimer: I haven't tried PhotoSquared, and I'm not sure I'm going to. They had a massive data breach in 2020 (read about it here and here). In addition to full names and addresses, all the photos that had been uploaded for printing were leaked. Eek!
We understand data breaches can happen to any company, but more robust security measures are needed when family pictures start getting hacked. So for now, we don't recommend PhotoSquared.
Stickable Photo Tiles With Colored Edges
This last option is unique from either category above. It's not framed, but it isn't a raw edge either. Instead, it's a colored edge, the way a stretched canvas would be.
In addition, Snaptiles include a wall mount - so the wall mount sticks to the wall with adhesives, but then additional tiles stick to each other with magnetic edges. It's very unique, and unlike the other options on this page.
Snaptiles
Snaptiles are a little different because they include a wall mount.
- Cost: $12.25 per tile
- Deal: Get 4 tiles for $49
- Size: 8x8 inches
- Frame: No frame or mat
- Manufacturing time: Less than a week
- Shipping: Free shipping
How do SnapTiles work?
Snaptiles use adhesive strips, so just peel off the backing on the adhesive mount and position them on the wall. Position the tile against the wall mount and slide it down to lock firmly onto the wall mount. You can also snap the tiles onto each other to make a fun arrangement of photo tiles.
The only con to this method is that it means you're locked into an edge-to-edge arrangement, where all the tiles are touching each other. I tend to prefer the tile arrangements with more white space between, which defeats the purpose of the cool wall mount and magnets for me.
Overall recommendations:
Quality-wise, these are all pretty similar. They are essentially a photo mounted on foam core, with some kind of hanging mechanism or adhesive. So there's not a lot of difference in what your photos will look like, just the frame and price.
If you want the cheapest for less than 10 tiles, there are a few places to look. The cheapest for just one or two would be Snapfish, but those don't come with a frame. If you want a frame, you can order from Mixtiles or Happytiles, which are $11 each.
The cheapest for 10-20 tiles, your best option is Mixtiles, Tilepix, Picombo, or Mixpix. All of them have discounted prices for bulk orders, especially if you're getting 12 or 16 tiles.
If you're looking to get a large amount, like 40 tiles, we'd suggest Picombo. They have some great deals for big quantities.
If you want to change swap photos around your grid, these are the companies we'd suggest. Both Tilepix and Mixpix use magnetic backings so once you know where you want your stickable photo tiles, you can put up the magnetic mountings. Then you can rearrange your photo tiles on those magnets as often as you want.
If you don't want to go with magnets, you can go with either Mixtiles or Printage since they can be pulled off the wall and re-stuck to it more than a dozen times without losing their stickiness.
If you want the highest quality frame, we'd suggest Photobook as they use real pine wood.
If you need to get them quickly, your best option is Mixpix or Tilepix, because their manufacturing time is only 24 hours.
If you're looking for stickable photo tiles, these are some great companies and websites to check out. We have reviews on Mixtiles and Tilepix that you can look at if you want more detailed information on those two, but there are definitely more companies out there!
Stickable photo tiles are a really cute way to decorate your walls! Have you ever purchased some before? Which brand did you get?

I have used MIXTILES because of the adhesive back. however, I have a problem now with trying to move a photo. it seems that the adhesive pulls in my painted walls? so, I leave them in place (for now)
Are there recommendations to help remove the photo without damaging the paint? otherwise, I am very happy with MIXTILES quality and value. * I have also used FRACTURE for a special memorial photo of a family member. beautiful vibrant color on the image.
Heidi says
Hi!
is there any of them where you can change the picture inside the frame?
Meg says
I don't think so - that's when a regular frame would work best!
Cindy says
I'd not recommend MixPix. They have NO customer service. The site crashed when I tried to order but I was charged $150 anyway and I can't figure out how to get it back since there is no order number. MixPix has no phone number and don't respond to emails...
Meg says
That is so frustrating! I wish I had an in to tell you about. Maybe google for their customer service if it's not on the site?
Deborah says
We will be moving in the spring. How should I store my mixtiles? I am considering backs together, one adhesive on top one on the bottom?
Meg says
I don't know! I've never moved with mine. Maybe just put a piece of wax paper along the sticky part, and then stack them?
