Photo print layout
Wallet photos, photo booth strips and prints of any common size on one sheet: choose your photos and a print size — wallet 2.5 × 3.5 in, 2 × 3, 3.5 × 5, 4 × 6, 5 × 7, 9 × 13, 10 × 15, 13 × 18 cm, instant-film style frames or 2 × 6 in booth strips — and the sheet: a 4 × 6 or 5 × 7 in photo print, A6, A4 or Letter. As many as fit, cropped to fill or fitted whole, with cut marks. A PDF at the exact size, or a 300 dpi JPEG to order as a photo print. Your photos never leave your browser.
2 prints a sheet (1 × 2, turned) on 4 x 6 in photo. Each print 63.5 × 88.9 mm. Print at Actual size or 100%.
The preview shows where the prints go: add your photos to download.
For a kiosk or lab: order the JPEG as a 4 x 6 in photo print with automatic crop turned off.
How it lays out the sheet
The print size is tried both ways round on the sheet, inside the edge margin and with the gap you set, and the way that fits more wins — two wallets fit on a 4 × 6 in print turned sideways, four 2 × 3 in prints fill it upright — using the same count as the sheet layout calculator. Each photo is cropped to the print’s shape from the point you choose, or fitted whole, and turned with its print, never stretched. The PDF is the sheet’s exact size in millimetres; the JPEG is the same sheet at 300 pixels per inch with that resolution written into the file.
Checking the resolution
Every photo shows the pixels per inch it prints at in the chosen size: the pixels of the part kept, divided by the print’s width in inches. Below 200 ppi the page warns you. For passport and ID photos at the official size and head height, use the passport photo maker; for a photo calendar, the photo calendar maker.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a wallet photo?
In the US a wallet-size print is usually 2.5 × 3.5 in (63.5 × 88.9 mm), the size of a playing card; some studios also sell 2 × 3 in. Two 2.5 × 3.5 in wallets fit on one 4 × 6 in print and four 2 × 3 in fit on one, so the cheapest way to get wallets is to order 4 × 6 prints of a sheet laid out here and cut them.
How do I print the sheet at a photo kiosk or lab?
Choose the 4 × 6 in (or 5 × 7 in) sheet, download the JPEG — it is exactly 4 × 6 in at 300 pixels per inch, 1,200 × 1,800 pixels — and order it as an ordinary 4 × 6 print. Turn off any automatic crop, “fill” or enhancement option so the kiosk prints the whole image; then each photo on it comes out at its exact size. Cut along the edges or the cut marks.
How do I make a photo booth strip?
Choose Photo booth strip, 3 or 4 frames, and add the photos in order: each strip takes the next 3 or 4 photos (repeated if there are fewer). A caption or date can go in the band at the bottom. A strip is 2 × 6 in, so two strips fill one 4 × 6 in print side by side — the classic pair to share — and four fit across a Letter sheet (three on A4 with a 5 mm margin, four with 3 mm).
What does the resolution warning mean?
Each photo shows the resolution it will print at in this size, in pixels per inch: the pixels of the part used divided by the print’s size in inches. Around 300 ppi is the usual target for photo prints; below 200 the page warns you, because the print may look soft. A 12-megapixel phone photo is far above that even at 5 × 7 in; a photo saved from a chat or social site may not be.
Crop to fill or fit the whole photo?
Fill crops the photo to the print’s shape so it covers the print edge to edge; drag on a photo’s thumbnail to choose which part is kept (the middle by default). Fit shows the whole photo inside the print, leaving white bands where the shapes differ. A phone photo is 4:3 and a 4 × 6 print is 3:2, so filling trims a little from the long sides.
Will my photos print at the exact size?
Yes, if the printer does not scale them. The PDF is the sheet’s exact size with every photo placed in millimetres; print it at Actual size or 100%, borderless on photo paper for a 4 × 6 or 5 × 7 sheet. On A4 or Letter keep the edge margin at 5 mm or so, since home printers cannot print to the edge, and the cut marks in the margin show where to cut.
What are the instant-film style frames?
Prints shaped like instant photos, with a white border and a deep bottom band to write on: a mini style of 54 × 86 mm with a 46 × 62 mm picture, a square style of 72 × 86 mm with a 62 × 62 mm picture and a classic style of 88 × 107 mm with a 79 × 79 mm picture — the proportions of Instax Mini, Instax Square and Polaroid film. They print on ordinary photo paper; they are not instant film.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photos are read in your browser and go only into the PDF or JPEG you download. Nothing is sent or stored, and the link from “Continue on another device” carries the settings only — the print size, sheet, margins and options — never a photo, its name or the caption.
