How To Print Passport Photos At CVS Or Walgreens

The easiest way to print passport photos is to use a prepared 4x6 print sheet. FastPassPhoto includes one automatically so you can upload it to CVS or Walgreens without manual resizing. For home printing, file types, and full mistake lists, see the printing hub.

This page is the store walkthrough for CVS and Walgreens. For digital vs print files, home printing, rejection mistakes, and cost, use the main printing hub first.

Why use a 4x6 template

Photo labs are built around standard print sizes. A 4x6 template lets you order a regular photo print with six passport photos already placed correctly on the sheet.

That is easier and cheaper than using the store passport counter after you already have a compliant digital image and print layout.

How the print process works at CVS or Walgreens

Create your photo with FastPassPhoto, download the print sheet, upload that exact file in the CVS or Walgreens photo app or website, and order a standard 4x6 print. Once you pick it up, cut out the individual passport photos.

The key is not to crop or resize the template before submitting it to the lab. Preview must show the full sheet and all six faces.

  • Download the 4x6 sheet (not only the single digital JPEG)
  • Upload the file as a standard 4x6 print
  • Avoid automatic crop tools if the lab shows them
  • Print on photo paper, then cut the images cleanly
  • Measure one square: 2 × 2 inches

Common print mistakes at the lab

Applicants sometimes upload only a single square passport image instead of the full 4x6 template, or they let the lab auto-crop the file. Both mistakes can change the final dimensions.

Using the provided template exactly as delivered is the safest option. For the full mistake list (including home print and online-upload mix-ups), see the printing hub.
