Fitting multiple 4×6 photos on a single 8.5×11 sheet of paper can seem challenging at first, but I assure you, it’s both cost-effective and achievable with a bit of careful planning.
Let me guide you through the process of printing multiple photos on one sheet of paper, whether you’re using a PC or a Mac computer.
How Many 4×6 can fit on an 8.5×11 sheet for printing
The simple answer is three! You can do this by:
- Placing two of 4×6 images in portrait orientation together to fill around 8×6.
- Then, let’s place the third 4×6 image into the same document.
- Rotate it 90 degrees to make it occupy 6×4 right beside the other images.
Now, you’re ready to print them! You can also refer to the photo below for an example of how this looks.
