How many photos fit on a 4×6 sheet
A 4×6 in sheet is 1200 × 1800 pixels at 300 DPI. Photos sit edge to edge and the paper turns whichever way fits more:
- 35 × 45 mm: 8 photos (4 across, 2 down).
- 2 × 2 in: 6 photos (2 across, 3 down).
- 33 × 48 mm: 9 photos (3 across, 3 down).
- 50 × 70 mm: 4 photos (2 across, 2 down).
Choose A4 instead for 36 photos of 35 × 45 mm.
How to print it
- Save the JPG to your phone or a USB stick and take it to a photo kiosk or print shop, or print the PDF at home.
- Choose 4×6 in photo paper and turn off any “fit to page”, “scale” or auto-crop option. Print at 100%.
- Cut along the thin grey guides with a ruler and blade or sharp scissors.
Photo rules differ by country and change over time, so check your passport office's photo rules before you print or upload. The head ranges shown here are typical values, not an official approval.
How to take the photo at home
- Stand about an arm's length from a plain light wall, or hang a plain sheet, and face a window so light falls evenly on your face.
- Keep the camera at eye level, held level and straight on. Ask someone to take it, or prop the phone up and use the timer.
- Look straight at the lens with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Keep your eyes open and visible.
- Avoid shadows on your face or behind you, glare on glasses, hats and heavy filters.
- Leave space around your head and shoulders so you can crop and zoom.

Should I print as JPG or PDF?
Use the JPG for photo kiosks and phone upload, and the PDF for printing from a computer. Both are the same 300 DPI sheet.
Can I use A4 paper instead?
Yes. Choose A4 under Paper to fill a full page, for example 36 photos of 35 × 45 mm.
Why do the cut guides sit on the photo edges?
The photos touch edge to edge so more fit on the paper. The 1 pixel guides mark where to cut and are almost invisible after trimming.
