The biggest scam in the document world: "8 Passport Photos = ₹100"
Why is this a scam? Because printing a single 4x6 inch photo paper costs only ₹5 to ₹10. If you can fit 8 photos onto that one sheet yourself, you save ₹90.
This tool does exactly that. It's a "Money Saver" for students and a "Profit Maker" for shopkeepers.
💰 valid for All Exams
This 4x6 standard is accepted by every photo studio and color xerox shop. Just ask for "Postcard Size Print".

FAQ: Common Doubts
Q: Can I print this on A4 paper? A: Yes, but you will waste a lot of paper if you only print 8 photos. If you want to use A4, select "A4 Sheet" in our tool to get 32 photos. For 8 photos, 4x6 inch paper is best.
Q: Will the shopkeeper refuse to print it? A: If you ask for "Passport Photos", they might refuse because they lose money. Ask for a "4x6 Photo Print" or "Postcard Print". They treat it as a normal photo print and cannot refuse.
Q: What paper GSM should I use? A: For professional results, use Glossy Photo Paper with 180 GSM to 230 GSM thickness. Matte paper is not recommended for passport photos.
