Walgreens 4×6" Passport Photo Print Template — 6 Photos for $0.39
Walking up to the Walgreens counter and asking for 'Passport Photos' costs $16.99 for just 2 fluorescent-lit prints. Instead, tile 6 precision 2×2" (or 8 international 35×45mm) photos onto a 1800×1200 px 4×6" sheet in your browser and order a regular $0.39 Walgreens 1-Hour print!

Exact Walgreens Photo Ordering Settings (Avoid Auto-Crop Bleed!)
- Product to select on Walgreens.com / App: Standard 'Prints' → '4×6 Print' (Glossy finish) — NEVER select 'Passport Photos'.
- Resolution warning check: Our exported PNG is an exact 1800 × 1200 px (3:2 aspect ratio), so Walgreens shows 'High Resolution — No Cropping Needed'.
- Borderless vs. White Border option: Select standard Full-Frame / Borderless 4×6" (do NOT add an extra decorative white border, which shrinks inner photos by ~4%!).
- Verify physical scale at pickup: Hold a ruler against our printed '1.00 in / 25.4 mm' calibration bar along the margin — even if the Fuji Frontier lab has 1.5% borderless overspray, our centered safe-inset grid keeps all 6 photos safely inside the trim zone!
4 Steps from Smartphone to $0.39 Walgreens Pickup
- Open the ID Photo Studio above, pick US 2×2" (or Schengen/Canada/China/Japan), and align your face inside the green biometric bands.
- Brighten your home wall with White-Background Boost and export the 1800×1200 px 4×6" Sheet PNG.
- Upload that single PNG to Walgreens Photo as a standard 4×6" Glossy Print (apply Walgreens' weekly 40%–50% photo coupon code at checkout!).
- Pick up your print in under an hour and cut neatly along the hairline corner ticks using a slide paper trimmer or sharp straight scissors.
2 Common Walgreens Kiosk Mistakes & How Our Layout Prevents Them
- Edge tiles getting clipped by 2mm borderless printer overspray: Naive 3×2 grids put 2×2" photos flush against the 0px edge of the 4×6" canvas, so Fuji/Noritsu borderless overspray stretches them to 2.04" and clips outer borders! Look carefully: if a kiosk stretches borderless prints by 2%, trim strictly to 2.0×2.0" with a ruler or print on A4 at 100% scale.
- Selecting Matte when your consulate wants Glossy: Choose Glossy 4×6" at Walgreens for maximum crispness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Walgreens staff refuse to print a 4x6 sheet of passport photos?
Standard 4x6 online orders print automatically on the lab minilab and are slipped into an envelope for pickup. On the rare occasion a clerk mentions their counter service, you can politely keep your standard 4x6 photo print order or send it to CVS or Walmart 1-Hour Photo.
Should I choose Glossy or Matte 4x6 at Walgreens for US passport photos?
Both glossy and matte photo-quality paper are accepted by the US State Department and USCIS, with standard 4x6 Glossy being the fastest 1-Hour in-stock finish at every Walgreens location.
Can I print Canadian 50x70mm or Chinese 33x48mm visa photos at Walgreens this way?
Yes! Because Walgreens stores rarely carry metric 33x48mm or 50x70mm die cutters, printing our 300 DPI metric sheet on a 4x6 print and trimming along the corner ticks is the easiest way to get exact foreign visa sizes in the US.
