The Wallet Keepsake
Because of its credit-card dimensions, the Mini fits perfectly into the card slots of any standard wallet. Keep your loved ones with you everywhere without bending the photo.
See DIY Accessories →Sometimes, less is more. The Mini Print (famously popularized by the Fujifilm Instax Mini) is arguably the cutest format in the analog world. Roughly the size of a credit card, these tiny snapshots are designed to be shared, carried, and tucked into small spaces.
Unlike the larger Classic Retro prints which are made for walls, the Mini is made for people. It’s the perfect social token—a physical memory you can slip into a friend's hand or keep close in your wallet.

💡 3 Perfect Uses for Mini Prints
The Fairy Light Garland
Minis are lightweight, making them ideal for clipping onto delicate string lights or twine. Create a glowing timeline of memories above your desk or bed.
The Scrapbook Filler
Their small size makes them perfect for journaling. You can fit multiple Minis on a single page of a travel diary or planner without adding too much bulk.
Storage Ideas →🎨 Styling Your Minis
Since the image area is small (1.8" x 2.4"), composition matters.
Go Close
Close-up portraits and selfies work best. Wide landscapes can lose detail due to the small size.
High Contrast
Bold colors and good lighting pop on the small film.
Mix & Match
Combine Minis with Tiny Tiles for a dynamic, textured collage on your fridge or magnet board.

What is the exact size of an Instax Mini photo?
The total film size is 54mm x 86mm (approx. 2.1 x 3.4 inches). The actual picture inside the border is 46mm x 62mm (1.8 x 2.4 inches).
Do Mini prints fit in a standard wallet?
Yes! That is their superpower. They are designed to match the dimensions of a standard ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 card (credit card), so they slide easily into card slots.
Can I write on Mini prints?
Yes, but space is limited. The bottom border gives you just enough room for a date, a name, or a hashtag. We recommend ultra-fine point permanent markers to keep it legible.
Are there albums for this size?
Absolutely. Because of the popularity of Instax cameras, there are thousands of albums available specifically for this "business card" size. You can also use business card holders!
