How to Print 4x6 Sheet with 6 Photos on One Page (Free)

Printing passport photos individually is expensive. Pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens often charge $15 or more for a pair of 2x2 inch photos.

The smart hack? Create a standard 4x6 inch photo sheet that fits exactly 6 photos (2x2 inches each). Since printing a standard 4x6 photo costs only about $0.35, you save over 97% instantly.

In this guide, we'll show you how to generate this 6-photo layout for free using our online tool and print it perfectly.

Why 6 Photos on a 4x6 Sheet?

The math is simple and perfect for US passport requirements:

• Sheet Size: 4 inches x 6 inches (Standard photo print size).
• Photo Size: 2 inches x 2 inches (Standard US passport size).
• Layout: 2 rows of 3 photos = 6 total photos.

This layout maximizes the paper usage, giving you plenty of spares for visas, ID cards, or backup copies.

Step 1: Create the 4x6 Template Online

You don't need Photoshop. Our free browser-based tool does the heavy lifting for you, automatically arranging the photos with the correct spacing and resolution (300 DPI).

Step 2: Print Your 4x6 Sheet

Once you have the image file, you have two options: print at home or order a print online.

Option A: Print at Home

If you have a photo printer (like a Canon Selphy or HP Envy) and 4x6 glossy photo paper:

1. Open the downloaded JPG file.
2. Click "Print" (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P).
3. CRITICAL: Select paper size as "4x6" or "10x15cm".
4. Select "Fit to Page" or "Fill Page" to ensure no borders cut into the photos.
5. Print on glossy photo paper for the best quality.

Option B: Print at a Store (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart)

This is the most popular method because it's cheap and high quality.

• Upload your 4x6 template file to the store's website.
• Select "4x6 Print" (Glossy or Matte).
• IMPORTANT: Ensure the store's software doesn't apply "Auto-Correct" or crop your image. Preview it to make sure all 6 heads are visible.
• Pick up your print for usually under $0.40.

Step 3: Cut the Photos

After printing, you will have a single 4x6 sheet. Use sharp scissors or a paper cutter to carefully cut along the lines.

Since the photos are tiled directly next to each other (2x2 inches each), one cut separates them perfectly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Wrong Paper Size: Do not print on 8.5x11 (Letter) paper unless you adjust settings. The template is designed for 4x6 paper.
• Scaling: Ensure your printer settings are set to 100% scale or "borderless" if possible to keep the 2x2 inch dimensions accurate.
• Low Quality: Always use the high-resolution file from our tool. Social media downloads are often compressed and will look blurry when printed.
