How to Print 6 Passport Photos at CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart for $0.39

Stop paying $16.99 at the pharmacy counter. Order a standard 4×6" glossy print with 6 pre-calibrated 2×2" passport photos for 39 cents.

Quick Summary & Official Rules

Pharmacies charge $16.99 for 'Passport Photos', but charge only $0.14–$0.39 for a standard 4×6 inch photo print on the exact same printer and paper.
A 4×6 inch sheet at 300 DPI (1800×1200 pixels) holds 6 exact 2×2" U.S. photos or 8 exact 35×45mm UK/Schengen photos.
CRITICAL KIOSK RULE: Always uncheck 'Fit to Page / Auto-Crop / Borderless Zoom' so the 1:1 millimeter calibration stays exact.

1. Why the $0.39 4×6" Sheet Trick Works

When you pay $16.99 at CVS or Walgreens, an employee snaps a photo with a basic digital camera and prints it on a standard 4×6 inch dye-sublimation photo printer. By generating your own 1800×1200px @ 300 DPI tiled 4×6" sheet in PassPhotoKit, you order a regular 4×6" print on the exact same machine for $0.39.

2. Step-by-Step Ordering Walkthrough (CVS, Walgreens & Walmart)

Follow these 4 steps to get your printed passport photos in under an hour:

Step 1: Upload your selfie in PassPhotoKit above and click 'Download 4×6" Print Sheet (6 Photos)'.
Step 2: Open the CVS Photo app, Walgreens app, or Walmart Photo website and select 'Standard 4×6" Glossy Print' (do NOT select 'Passport Photo').
Step 3: Upload your downloaded 1800×1200px JPEG file and ensure 'Auto-Crop' or 'Zoom to Fill' is turned OFF.
Step 4: Pick up your print in 1 hour for $0.14–$0.39 and cut along the 1px grey guidelines with scissors or a paper trimmer.
