You do not need a photo booth. Make your photo and a print-ready sheet on this site for free, then have it printed as an ordinary photo at any of the services below — usually for a fraction of a booth or studio fee. The sheet already contains several correctly sized photos with cut lines.

- Convenience-store multicopy machines and network-print apps do not auto-crop or auto-arrange multiple ID photos onto the sheet for you — prepare the full passport-photo sheet as one image or PDF sized to L判 (about 5:7) or KG判 (2:3) proportions before uploading, otherwise the upload can be rejected.
- Printed photo paper typically leaves a few millimeters of unprintable border, so keep any cut lines slightly inset from the true image edge.
How to make it in 3 steps
- Download the 4 x 6 in (10 x 15 cm) sheet in Step 3 above — it is the size photo kiosks and print services expect.
- Upload it through a photo print app or website, or bring it on a USB drive or phone to an in-store kiosk.
- Choose a 4 x 6 in, borderless, actual-size (100%) print — do not let the store crop, scale, or auto-enhance it.
- Pick up your print and cut along the thin gray guide lines to separate the individual photos.
Printing at home
Prefer to print at home? Any inkjet or laser printer works — just print the same sheet at 100% scale on 4x6, A4, or US Letter photo paper.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I print my ID photo?
Download the 4x6 in or A4 sheet, then print it at any pharmacy photo kiosk, photo shop, online print service, or on a home printer as a regular borderless 4x6 photo at actual size (100%, no scaling) — no special paper or settings needed. Cut along the guide lines to separate your individual photos.
What size print do I need for a passport or ID photo sheet?
A 4 x 6 in (10 x 15 cm) print is the standard size accepted by photo kiosks and print services almost everywhere. A4 works well for home printers; 3.5x5 in, 5x7 in, and US Letter are also available.
Do I need special photo paper to print my ID photo?
No. Standard glossy or matte 4x6 photo paper from a photo kiosk or print service is enough. The app lays out your photos at 300 or 600 DPI so they print sharp at actual size.
