A Mixtiles Alternative With a More Human Touch
Magnetic photo frames displayed as a gallery wall, made by Evergreen & Birch as a Mixtiles alternative with human photo review and premium print finishes
Magnetic photo frames made with care, not just uploaded and printed.
Looking for a Mixtiles alternative? Evergreen & Birch offers magnetic photo frames for people who want the easy gallery wall idea, but with more hands-on care before anything is printed, cut, checked, and assembled.
Every order is reviewed by a real person. We check photo quality, cropping, colour, cuts, and overall print readiness before your frames are made. If we notice something that may affect the final result, we contact you before moving forward.
MagFrame orders are made in-house within 1–3 business days.
More Than Upload and Print
Mixtiles helped make photo walls simple. But not every photo is ready to print exactly as uploaded.
Phone photos can be too dark. Older photos may need restoration. Professional photos sometimes still need small colour adjustments to print correctly. Cropping can cut off important details. Some images need a human eye before they become wall decor.
That is where Evergreen & Birch is different.
We do not just send your uploaded photos straight to production. We manually review every order before printing and assembly, so your gallery wall has the best chance of looking beautiful when it arrives.
Your photos are memories, and we treat them that way.
Why Choose Evergreen & Birch as a Mixtiles Alternative?
Human Review Before Print
Every order is checked by a real person before production. We look at image quality, cropping, brightness, colour, and overall print readiness.
If something looks off, we do our best to catch it before your photos are printed. If we believe a photo may not print well, or if something needs your confirmation, we contact you by email before moving forward.
Professional Photo Enhancement Available
Some photos need more than a simple upload.
We offer hands-on photo enhancement and colour correction for images that need extra care. This can help with dark photos, strong sun shadows, older images, low-quality phone photos, and even professional photos that need small adjustments for print.
The same way a professional photographer may adjust an image before final delivery, we can help prepare your photos so they look better when printed and displayed.
Our goal is simple: to make your photos look beautiful on your wall, not just printed.

Fast In-House Production
Most Evergreen & Birch MagFrame orders are made in-house within 1–3 business days.
We are a small business, but that does not mean slow. Because we handle production directly, we can keep lead times short while still checking each order carefully.
Delivery times may vary depending on your location, especially for international orders, but our in-house production is fast, personal, and carefully reviewed.
Two Paper Finish Options
Your photos should match your home, your style, and the feeling of the image.
We offer two beautiful paper finish options:
Satin/Luster
A classic professional photo finish with rich colour, beautiful detail, and a soft sheen.
Enhanced Matte
A true matte finish with no reflection. This is a premium paper option similar to what professional photo labs use when a soft, glare-free look is preferred.
Mixtiles-style products often use a matte-like finish that may still have some glare. With Evergreen & Birch, you can choose the finish that best fits your photos and your space.

Two Adhesive Mounting Options
Different walls need different mounting solutions.
Evergreen & Birch offers two adhesive mounting options:
Standard Strong Mount
A strong everyday mounting option for most smooth, clean, compatible walls.
3-Part Protective Adhesive System
A more sensitive wall option designed for customers who want extra protection between the wall and the magnetic mounting plate.
As with any adhesive product, results can depend on the wall surface, paint, texture, humidity, cleaning, and installation. We always recommend applying to clean, dry, smooth, and solid surfaces.

Direct Support From the People Making Your Order
When you order from Evergreen & Birch, you are not dealing with a large support system disconnected from production.
If we notice a problem with your order, your photo quality, your crop, or anything that may affect the final result, we contact you by email before moving forward. If you email us with a question or adjustment, your message comes directly to us — the same people reviewing, printing, cutting, and assembling your order.
Because we are a small family business, we can give each order personal attention. We see the details, we care about the result, and we do everything we can to make sure your adjustments are understood before your order is completed.
Your memories are our first priority, and we stand behind that with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Small-Business Quality Control
Every frame is printed, checked, cut, and assembled with care.
We are not a large automated photo tile company. We are a small business that focuses on details, print quality, and the final result. Every order matters to us because every order is someone’s family, memories, home, art, or gift.
MagFrames Flex
Our 20x20 magnetic frame with plexiglass and an interchangeable photo design, so you can update your favourite memories anytime.
Professional Paper Options
Choose Satin/Luster for rich colour and soft sheen, or Enhanced Matte for a true glare-free matte finish.
A Familiar Magnetic Wall System
Enjoy the same simple magnetic wall experience people love, with frames you can align, adjust, and build into a beautiful gallery wall without the stress.
Fast Production Without Skipping the Human Touch
Speed matters. But so does quality.
That is why most MagFrame orders are made within 1–3 business days, while still being reviewed by a real person before production.
We check your photos before printing. We inspect the cuts. We assemble your frames carefully. If something needs attention, we contact you. If you need an adjustment, you can email us directly.
We want your order to feel like something made for your home, not just another file sent through a system.
Your Photos Deserve More Than a Quick Upload
A photo wall is not just decoration. It is your family, your memories, your favourite places, your pets, your wedding, your children, your art, or the moments you never want to lose.
That is why we take the extra steps before printing.
We look at the crop.
We check the photo quality.
We review the colours.
We inspect the finished pieces.
We make sure the order feels right before it leaves us.
Because once your photos are on the wall, they become part of your home.

Can you fix dark or low-quality photos?
In many cases, yes. We offer professional photo enhancement and colour correction for photos that need extra care. This can help with dark images, sun shadows, older photos, phone photos, and photos that need adjustment before printing.
Do professional photos still need adjustment before printing?
Sometimes, yes. Even professional photos may need small adjustments depending on the paper finish, lighting, colour, crop, or final display size. We review your photos before printing so they have the best chance of looking right on the wall.
What paper finish should I choose?
Satin/Luster is a beautiful professional photo finish with rich colour and a soft sheen. Enhanced Matte is a true matte paper with no reflection, ideal for customers who want a softer, glare-free, gallery-style look.
