What is 4R photo size in inches and mm?
4R is 4×6 inches, which is about 102×152 mm (also sold as 10×15 cm). It is a standard shop print size, not an official passport dimension by itself.
4R Photo Size – Printable ID & Passport Photo Layout
4R is the everyday photo print most shops call 4×6. Use it as a 4R ID photo maker: tile several identical passport or ID photos on one sheet, print once, and cut.
What is 4R photo size?
4R photo size is 4×6 inches (about 102×152 mm). It is the same sheet many kiosks label as 4×6, 10×15 cm, or simply “standard print.”
AI Images Studio uses that sheet as a 4R photo layout: several copies of your ID or passport photo on one high-resolution page, usually with cut guides, so one shop order covers spare prints.
- 4R = 4×6 in = 102×152 mm
- Typical print resolution: 300 DPI (about 1200×1800 pixels for the full sheet)
- One sheet can hold multiple 35×45 mm, 2×2 in, or other ID sizes depending on the crop
4R ID photo layout — not only passports
A 4R sheet is useful for any small official portrait: employee badges, student IDs, visa copies, and country-specific cards — not just passports.
If you need several identical prints (forms that ask for two photos, family applications, or a spare in the drawer), a 4R ID photo maker is cheaper than ordering each photo as a separate 2×2 print.
- Passport photos (35×45 mm, UK, Schengen, Philippines DFA, and similar)
- US-style 2×2 inch photos for passports, many visas, and some IDs
- School, work, and membership ID photos that print small
- Philippines 2×2 IDs (NBI, PRC, postal ID) arranged as a 4R grid
Why arrange multiple photos on one 4R sheet?
- Print several identical copies from a single 4×6 / 4R order
- Lower cost than one photo per shop order
- Keep spares if a form needs two photos or a print is damaged
- Prepare photos for more than one family member in one print run
How to create a 4R ID photo sheet
- 1
Prepare the source portrait
Upload a clear photo, choose the ID or passport size you need, and generate a clean preview.
- 2
Generate the 4R layout
Create a 4R photo layout that tiles copies on one 4×6 inch sheet. Preview spacing before you pay.
- 3
Download the high-resolution sheet
Save the file at print resolution — typically 300 DPI — not a screenshot of the preview.
- 4
Print as 4R / 4×6
At a kiosk choose 4×6 / 4R / 10×15 cm. At home use photo paper and turn off “fit to page.”
- 5
Cut and measure
Trim along the guides. Measure one copy against your application’s required size before you submit.
Home printing vs local print services
Home printing
- Use glossy or matte photo paper — not copy paper
- Disable fit-to-page scaling
- Let ink dry before cutting
Shop or kiosk
- Ask for 4R or 4×6 — the names vary by country
- Staff can often print from a phone file
- Usually sharper than a typical home inkjet
Sizing note
Printed millimetres can vary slightly with printer margins. Measure a test print. AI Images Studio helps you prepare a 4R layout; it does not guarantee exact millimetre output on every device.
4R photo size and printing — FAQ
Is a 4R sheet the same as a passport photo?
No. 4R is the paper size. Your passport or ID photo is the smaller portrait printed several times on that sheet. After printing, you cut out the individual photos.
Can I use a 4R layout for ID photos, not only passports?
Yes. Any small official portrait can be tiled on a 4R sheet — work badges, student IDs, visa copies, and 2×2 IDs — as long as each cut-out matches the size your organisation asks for.
What paper size should I select at the kiosk?
Choose 4×6 inches / 4R / 10×15 cm. Naming varies by region; the dimensions are equivalent.
Can I print different sizes on one sheet?
The 4R layout repeats one photo size across the sheet. Prepare a separate sheet if you need a second dimension.
