Passport Photo Sheet Maker
Tile one photo into a printable sheet of passport photos at exact physical size.
Photo studios charge for a sheet of passport photographs you could print yourself for a few rupees. This tool tiles one correctly cropped photo across a printable sheet at exact physical dimensions, adds cutting guides, and produces a file you can print at home or at any print shop.
Nothing is uploaded. Your image is read by your own browser and processed on a canvas element on your device. It never reaches a server, ours or anyone else's, and closing the tab discards it entirely.

What the Passport Photo Sheet Maker does
The critical detail is physical size. A passport photograph must measure 35 × 45 mm on paper, which means the file has to carry the right number of pixels for the print resolution. At 300 DPI, 35 mm is 413 pixels — so a 4 × 6 inch sheet becomes a 1,800 × 1,200 pixel image with each photo placed exactly.
The tool builds that sheet, fitting as many photos as the paper allows with a small gap and margin, and draws thin cutting guides so the photos can be separated accurately.
How to use this tool
- Start with a photograph already cropped to the right proportions — use the photo resizer first if needed.
- Drop the image here and choose your sheet: 4 × 6 inch photo paper or A4.
- Set the photo size in millimetres. 35 × 45 mm is the standard passport size; 25 × 35 mm is stamp size.
- Set a gap between photos — 2 mm is enough to cut cleanly.
- Generate the sheet, then print at 100% scale with no page fitting, or take the file to a print shop.
How the sheet is built
Pixels per millimetre = DPI ÷ 25.4
Sheet canvas = Sheet width in mm × pixels/mm
by Sheet height in mm × pixels/mm
Columns = ⌊(Sheet width − 2 × margin + gap) ÷ (Photo width + gap)⌋
Rows = ⌊(Sheet height − 2 × margin + gap) ÷ (Photo height + gap)⌋
The grid is centred on the sheet, and each photo is drawn
cropped to fill its cell so proportions are preserved.
At 300 DPI a 4 × 6 inch sheet is 1,800 × 1,200 pixels and fits eight 35 × 45 mm photographs in a 4 × 2 grid.
Worked example
Example: 4 × 6 inch sheet with 35 × 45 mm photos
| Sheet at 300 DPI | 1,800 × 1,200 pixels |
| Each photo | 413 × 531 pixels |
| Grid | 4 columns × 2 rows |
| Photos per sheet | 8 |
| Print cost at a shop | typically ₹20–₹30 for the sheet |
Eight photographs for the price of one print, against studio pricing that is usually several times higher for the same eight.
What your result means
The photos-per-sheet figure tells you how many you get from one print. If you need more, print the sheet twice rather than shrinking the photos.
Printing at 100% scale is essential. Any "fit to page" or "shrink to fit" setting changes the physical size and the photographs will be rejected.
The cutting guides are drawn as thin grey lines at the photo boundaries. Cut along the middle of the line so no grey remains on the photograph.
Important considerations
- Crop the source photograph correctly before making the sheet. This tool tiles what you give it; it does not centre a face or fix framing.
- Print on photo paper, not plain paper. Matte or glossy photo paper at 200 gsm or above gives an acceptable result for most official uses.
- Print at 100% scale. This is the single most common mistake and it silently produces photographs of the wrong physical size.
- A 4 × 6 inch print at a local shop typically costs ₹20–₹30 and gives eight photographs — far cheaper than a studio sheet.
- Some authorities require photographs printed on specific paper or with a specific finish. Check before printing a large batch.
- Verify the printed size with a ruler before submitting. It should measure exactly 35 × 45 mm.
Limitations of this tool
- It does not crop or centre the face — the source photograph must already be correctly framed.
- Colour management is not applied, so printed colours may differ slightly from the screen.
- Printer margins vary. A small margin is left around the grid, but some printers may still clip the outermost photographs on A4.
Frequently asked questions
How many passport photos fit on a 4×6 sheet?
Eight 35 × 45 mm photographs in a 4 × 2 grid with a 2 mm gap. At the smaller 25 × 35 mm stamp size, considerably more.
Can I print passport photos at home?
Yes, on photo paper with a colour printer set to 100% scale and highest quality. For official submissions, a print shop usually gives a better result for ₹20–₹30.
Why must I print at 100% scale?
Because the physical size is what matters. Any fit-to-page setting shrinks the sheet and the photographs come out smaller than 35 × 45 mm, which is grounds for rejection.
What DPI should I use?
300 DPI is standard for photo printing and is what the default produces. Use 600 only if your printer genuinely supports it — the file becomes four times larger for a difference few people can see.
