Ranked #108,281 in Entertainment, #1,256,262 overall

A digital photo keyring makes a great gift for a special someone or even as your own keepsake. Choosing the right type of keychain attachment for your photos can determine how good your keychain will turn out. This lens will give an overview of how to choose a keyring for your digital photos.

Why a photo keychain?

Having a photo keychain is one excellent way to carry an image of your loved one with you wherever you go. If you are not digitally minded - or simply prefer not to use your key ring as a photo storage site, the photo key chain is for you. You can choose which photo to have in it - or you could choose an option of three mini frames - rather like tiny charms hanging from a bracelet.

Choosing a shape

After choosing which photos to use in your photo keychain, you then need to choose which shape you like. For a person's face, the round or oval keychain would be a good choice, because faces naturally fit into a round or oval shape. But if there is more than one person in the photo, a rectangular or square shape might be more appropriate.

Other keychain features

There are other aspects of design to choose too. You could have your photo printed onto the keychain, or you could clip it inside a clear Perspex fitting. This gives the appearance of a frame around the edges of the photo, while the first option does not. Lastly, you need to decide whether you would like an actual chain to join the photo to the key ring, or a plastic strip clipped to one corner.
