In {{TWW}}, the Picto Box allows Link to take and store three black and white pictographs at a time. It is found inside a [[Treasure Chest]] at the end of the crawlspace maze in [[Town Jail|Tingle's jail cell]] on [[Windfall Island]]. In {{TWWHD}}, the storage is increased to twelve images. The Picto Box also has a new feature which enables Link to take self-photographs while making any of nine facial expressions. Link can send pictographs to Miiverse via [[Tingle Bottle]]. Pictographs found inside Tingle Bottles can be saved in the Picto Box for later use in the [[Nintendo Gallery]]. The Deluxe Picto Box is not required to save color pictographs from Miiverse.

It allows Link to take and store up to three black and white Pictographs at a time. While in use, the Control Stick aims the viewfinder, while zooming in and out is performed with the C-Stick, similarly to the [[Telescope]]. All gameplay and character movement continues as normal while looking through the Picto Box, though it temporarily pauses after taking a Pictograph to allow the player to keep or discard the image. Pressing the R button switches to viewing the stored Pictographs or selecting them for deletion.
In {{TWWHD}}, the storage is increased to twelve Pictographs, and the controls are switched so that the R-Stick aims the viewfinder and the L-Stick zooms in and out. The Picto Box also has a new feature which enables Link to take "selfie" Pictographs by pressing the X button; he can then make any of eleven different facial expressions by moving the L-Stick and optionally holding the ZL button. When viewing the stored Pictographs, any that are suitable for making a [[Figurines in The Wind Waker|Figurine]] are marked with a golden [[Carlov]] icon.
