Print a 2x2 passport photo on a 4x6 print
A US passport photo is 2 x 2 inches, and 2 of them fit on one ordinary 4 x 6 inch photo print. WinPhoto ID checks your photo against the published rules and makes that print as a single image, which any photo counter, kiosk or online lab can print like a holiday photo.
Your photo stays on your device: nothing is uploaded, and no face is recognised.
How it works
- Choose your document below and check your photo on its page. The check is free and runs in your browser: the photo is not uploaded.
- Save the print sheet from that page: one 4 x 6 inch image at 300 dpi with as many copies as fit, each with a thin grey line around it.
- Order one ordinary 4 x 6 inch print of the sheet at a photo counter, a kiosk or an online lab, with no border and no cropping or zoom to fill the paper. Or print it yourself on 4 x 6 inch photo paper at 100% (actual size), not "fit to page", if your document's rules below leave room for a home print.
- Measure one copy with a ruler before you cut. If the shop enlarged, shrank or cropped the print, the photo is the wrong size: ask for a reprint at actual size. Then cut along the grey lines.
Checking your photo is free. The print sheet comes with your document's photo: €6.99, paid once for that document, with the exact file and unlimited retakes for 30 days. No subscription.
Documents whose page saves a print sheet
Choose your document: its page checks your photo in your browser, free, then saves the sheet. The indented words are the issuing authority's own, from the official page linked beside them, read on the date given. WinPhoto is photo software, not an application service. WinPhoto is not affiliated with any government. Only the authority decides whether it accepts a photo.
- DACA request photos (Form I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, filed with Form I-765) 2 x 2 inches: 2 copies on the sheet. A DACA request on Form I-821D must be filed together with Form I-765, and the I-765 instructions ask for two identical 2 x 2 inch colour passport-style photos, printed on thin glossy paper, unmounted and unretouched: not edited or digitally enhanced. This page only frames and resizes your photo to 2 x 2 inches; it never retouches it or changes its background, so take it against a plain white or off-white wall. Print the sheet and cut out two identical copies. If you renew online, scan the printed photos or take a picture of them with your phone. USCIS will also take your photo at a biometrics appointment.

This page only frames and resizes each photo to 2 x 2 inches; it never retouches it or changes its background, so take it against a plain white or off-white wall.

No print sheet for these
The pages of these documents save no print sheet: the document takes a digital photo, the office or a professional takes the photo, or its rules leave no room for a print made this way. Don't order a print for them from this page.
- Diversity Visa (DV, green card lottery) entry digital photo Its page makes the digital file, and no print sheet. These are the rules on the State Department's visa photo pages. Check the instructions for the current DV entry period when it opens. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
- Diversity Visa (DV, green card lottery) entry digital photo for a child or baby listed on the entry Its page makes the digital file, and no print sheet. Each child listed on a DV entry needs their own photo, to the same standards as yours. These are the rules in the DV-2026 instructions and on the State Department's visa photo page. Check the instructions for the current DV entry period when it opens. Official page, read on 4 November 2026.
Where to order the print
The sheet is an ordinary 4 x 6 inch photo, so any shop, kiosk or online lab that prints photos of that size can print it. For example, from each shop's own page:
- Walgreens Photo lists 4x6 among the print sizes on its prints page Walgreens Photo's page, read on 11 November 2026.
- Walmart Photo lists 4x6 inch prints on its prints page Walmart Photo's page, read on 11 November 2026.
WinPhoto has no link with these shops. They print photos; they don't check a photo against any document's rules. Sizes, services and prices change: check the shop.
Questions
- How many photos fit on one 4 x 6 inch print?
- For the documents on this page, 2 on the sheet WinPhoto ID makes. The sheet leaves a 3 mm margin and a 2 mm gap between copies, so that a print trimmed slightly at the edges still holds whole photos.
- Does the print have to be at actual size?
- Yes. The sheet is made at 300 dpi for 4 x 6 inch paper, so each copy is the document's size only when the print is not enlarged, shrunk or cropped to fill the paper. Measure one copy before you cut.
- Will the shop check that the photo meets the rules?
- No. A photo counter prints the sheet as an ordinary photo and does not check it against any document's rules. WinPhoto ID's check compares your photo with the published rules as we read them on the date each page gives. Only the authority decides whether it accepts a photo.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The check and the print sheet are made in your browser and the photo stays on your device. The one exception is the Detail check, which is opt-in and comes with a document's photo.
