The layout math
A 4-inch width fits two 2-inch photos and a 6-inch height fits three, so the sheet is a precise 2-column by 3-row grid. At 300 PPI, each 2-inch cell is 600 pixels square and the full 4 x 6 canvas is 1200 x 1800 pixels.
| Part | Physical size | Pixels at 300 PPI |
|---|---|---|
| One photo | 2 x 2 in | 600 x 600 px |
| Sheet width | 4 in | 1200 px |
| Sheet height | 6 in | 1800 px |
| Total copies | 2 columns x 3 rows | Six 600 x 600 cells |
Use this page for layout, the print guide for settings
This page explains why six copies fit. For printer settings, scaling problems, paper choices and troubleshooting, use the main print 2x2 photo guide.
The digital canvas
The generated sheet is 1200 x 1800 pixels and now includes 300 PPI metadata, matching a 4 x 6 inch print when printed without automatic scaling.
Avoid automatic cropping
Select a true 4 x 6 print size and preserve the full image in the print preview. Turn off auto-crop or fit-to-page if those options change the outer dimensions.
Use the receiving authority as the final source
