Print multiple pictures on one page, no Word or cropping
Open the photo layout tool and drag in all your pictures at once, or paste screenshots with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). They’re arranged on a regular sheet of Letter paper, 8.5 × 11 in (216 × 279 mm), automatically. Click Export / print to print or save a PDF. There are no sizes to type in and no pixels to work out, whether it’s 2 pictures on one page, four photos for a school report, or a dozen screenshots for work.
This is for plain printer paper at home, at the office or at the library. For glossy 4 × 6 prints, a drugstore photo kiosk is still the better tool.
Why it’s a pain elsewhere
- Word and Google Docs are built for text. Insert a few pictures and you end up resizing each one by hand, and they jump to the next page the moment you touch anything.
- The Windows “Print Pictures” dialog gives you a few fixed layouts sized for photo paper, and by default it crops the edges of each picture to fill its slot. Heads and captions get cut off.
- Image editors make you start with a blank 8.5 × 11 canvas, pick a resolution and place every picture yourself.
What the automatic layout does
- Nothing is cropped. Every picture is shown whole and scaled proportionally.
- As big as possible. Pictures are made as large as the page allows, and a mix of portrait and landscape shots still lines up neatly.
- Your order is kept. Left to right, top to bottom, in the order you added them.
- No wasted paper. A new page starts only when the current one is full, and then the pictures are spread evenly across the pages.
Fine-tuning
- On a computer, drag a picture to move it and drag a corner to resize it. Pictures snap to the margins and to each other, and the item menu lets you rotate, crop or delete. Made a mess? Choose Re-layout from the ⋯ menu.
- On a phone, long-press a picture and drag it onto another to swap them; tap one to rotate it, add a caption or delete it.
- Margins can be Auto, None, Narrow or Normal. With None, remember that most home printers can’t print the outer eighth of an inch or so.
- Cutting the pictures apart afterward? Use Add caption to label each one. And if you want the same photo many times, for wallet-size copies or name tags, see how to print the same image multiple times on one page.
Formats
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, HEIC (iPhone photos) and JFIF all work. Every page of a PDF becomes its own block too, and everything can be mixed.
Getting it out
- Print: choose Actual size or 100% in the print settings.
- Download PDF: pages are exactly 8.5 × 11 in with images at 300 DPI, so a PDF on a USB stick or in your email prints the same on a library or print shop printer.
- Download images: one 300 DPI image per page (2550 × 3300 pixels), zipped when there are several.
