How to create a sheet of wallet-sized photos to print?
October 1, 2018 8:39 AM   Subscribe

I didn't like the school photos, so I took my own photo of my child to give to relatives. I was hoping my photo printing store would offer the option of printing a sheet of wallet size photos, but they don't. Help.

Walmart apparently does this, but it's a next day service and I need these today. Is there possibly an online service that takes your photo and creates a jpeg of wallet size photos? Or, is there a free program I can use to quickly pull this off?

Can you make a 8x10 with the image repeated, then cut it to size?

For 8x10, read the largest size your photo printing store will do.

Best answer: Does Photosheet ($6) do what you need?

Are you near a Walgreens? They now offer wallet prints.

Best answer: Walgreens and Meijer and a few other grocery stores have photo printing services that offer this.

Response by poster: I think Photosheet does - and there is a free version! I actually just did it quite quickly. I used a built in collage feature. I'll report back on how it turned out once it's been printed. I'm also marking Walgreens the other places for future seekers but I'm in Canada and we don't have those particular retailers.

I use Gimp, copy and paste, print 6 passport photos on a 4x6 at Walgreens. Pennies on the dollar for what you pay anywhere else.

A professional photographer I used a few years ago recommended Mpix (https://www.mpix.com/), so that's what I use for most of my prints and have been happy. They offer what you are looking for: wallets.

Response by poster: Photosheet did this perfectly and the printed results are great. You choose a collage pattern and then it lets you select which images to insert into each spot. Thanks!
