A Picture Wallet or a Digital Photo Wallet: Share Photos Anywhere and Anytime

If you take pictures, you're either hoping to save them to enjoy yourself or to share with others. Stuffing them away in an album in a drawer at home won't achieve this very readily. For many years having a picture wallet was the primary way of taking your photos on the road for others to enjoy. This is still an option of course, but now you can also tote along a digital photo album or perhaps a digital photo wallet to achieve this same result.

We'll cover the options on this page and get you set up to make the most of the pictures you're taking whether they're prints or just the digital files of those photos.

Options for Taking Your Pictures With You

If you have photos you like to share, whether they're of family and friends, vacations, or if they're work related, being able to access and display them where ever you go and with whomever you please is useful.

Picture wallets have been used for this purpose for many years. Now, you have the option of toting along both prints and digital photos very conveniently. On this page you will find:

  • Picture wallet inserts for prints to add to your existing wallet.

  • Picture wallets and wallet sized photo albums for your prints.

  • Digital photo wallets in the form of small digital photo frames and portable digital photo albums the size of a wallet.

  • Digital wallets that function as a wallet and include a small digital photo display.


  • If you're interested in other forms of enjoying the portability of your digital photos, you can also see our Digital Photo Key Chain page.

    Which is Right for You? A Picture Wallet or a Portable Digital Photo Display

    You basically have two options; either toting along prints or the digital files of those images. Which is right for you depends on preference really.

  • Simplicity
    If you have no computer, don't wish to spend time downloading photos, or anything like that then a simple wallet with sleeves for inserting your prints is certainly your best option. Of course, you still have to deal with getting your photos printed; so if printing is too much of a hassle or expense, then the portable digital photo albums or wallets are a better option. Personal preference is what decides which offers the convenience you want.

  • Cost
    A nice leather wallet in which to insert your prints can be expensive but many of the more typical picture wallets are less expensive that the average digital photo wallet. On the other hand however, a digital photo wallet can help save the expense of printing all of those photos. As a result, a picture wallet may have less up front cost, but over time the digital photo wallet may save.

  • Size
    A digital photo album or photo wallet isn't much bigger than the non-digital picture wallet. In addition, they allow you to carry far more pictures without adding any bulk at all. Carrying more than 10 photos in a wallet gets to be a hefty load, but 60 or more images in a digital photo wallet is nothing at all. Hands down, if you have more than a handful of photos you want to carry around, the digital photo wallet is a better choice over the traditional picture wallet.

      I still carry photos of my son the conventional way but it's interesting to know there are other options.

      I was recently away and only had one picture of my granddaughter and none of my grandson---that was shameful!
