Photo Strip Maker

A photo strip is four photos stacked in one tall frame, with the white border and tight framing a photo booth leaves behind. This maker builds that strip in the browser: drop in four shots, choose a strip type, and the frames line up in order. A caption bar can sit under the photos with a name, a date or a short line, so the strip reads as a souvenir instead of four loose pictures. Export a PNG for a message, or a PDF that prints at exactly 2x6 inches.

Your photos are processed in this tab. Nothing is uploaded.

How to make a photo strip in 3 steps

Choose four photos

Pick the four shots that belong together: one afternoon, four poses, four people. They can come from a phone, a camera or a folder on the desktop, and they do not need to be the same size, because each frame is filled edge to edge rather than squashed to match its neighbour.

Pick a strip type

Four types are covered: 4-frame classic for the plain booth look, 4-frame with caption when the strip needs a name or a date under the photos, 3-frame for a tighter crop, and 6-frame when you have a longer sequence. All four keep the same 2x6 page, so the print size never changes.

Export the strip

Save a PNG for a message, a story or a listing. For paper, take the PDF: the page is already 2x6 inches, so it prints at the size a booth strip is meant to be, without anyone rescaling it in a print dialog.

Strip types, the caption bar and print output

Every strip sits on a 2x6 inch page, portrait, with the frames inside a thin white border. The layouts differ in how many frames they stack and whether the last band carries text.

4-frame classic

Four equal frames, border on all sides, no text. This is the shape a booth prints, and the one most people mean when they say photo strip.

4-frame with caption

The same four frames with a band underneath for a name, a date or one line. The text is drawn into the image, so it survives both the PNG and the PDF.

PNG and a PDF for 2x6 prints

The PNG is for screens. The PDF is the print file at 2x6 inches, and Pro writes it at 300dpi with crop marks so a shop can trim to the edge without guessing. One layout feeds both, so what you approve is what gets printed.

If two photos are enough, photos side by side is the shorter route to the same idea; for a wider page, go back to merge images and choose a layout there.

Why use this photo strip maker

Four reasons the strip comes out right the first time.

Exact 2x6 print size

The page is built at 2x6 inches instead of being scaled later, so a print comes back the size you asked for rather than a percentage of it.

Caption bar included

A name, a date or a one-liner prints inside the strip rather than being written on afterwards with a marker.

No upload

The four photos are read in the tab and the strip is drawn on your device, so nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored there.

Works on phone

The layout reflows to a narrow screen, so a strip can be made on the same phone the photos came from.

Where photo strips get used

A strip is cheap to print, easy to hand out, and small enough to keep.

Wedding favours

A strip of the couple, printed small and left on the tables, does the job of a printed card for a fraction of the cost.

Birthday parties

Four shots from the party with the date underneath make a take-home that guests keep longer than a paper napkin.

School events

Class photos, sports day, the last day of term: one strip per child is quick to run off on the school printer.

Shop promos

A small business can put four product shots on one strip and hand it out, or drop it into a bag with an order.

Photo strip maker FAQ

Is this photo strip maker free?

Yes. Every template is free, batch upload goes up to 50 photos, and you get 1 clean export a day; after that, exports carry a small corner mark and the PDF is capped at 150dpi. The strip maker needs no account, and the 4-frame, 3-frame and 6-frame types all sit in the free plan.

What size is a photo booth strip?

A classic strip is 2x6 inches, portrait, with four frames stacked and a thin border. That is the page the PDF exports at, so it prints without resizing. The PNG keeps the same proportions at a higher pixel count, which is what makes it usable on a screen as well.

Can I add a caption or a date?

Yes. The 4-frame with caption layout puts a band under the photos where a name, a date or a short line fits. The text is drawn into the image, so it appears in the PNG and the PDF alike and does not depend on a font being installed on the printer's machine.

Do my photos get cropped?

Each frame is filled edge to edge, so a photo that does not match the frame shape is cropped rather than stretched. If a face sits near an edge, nudge the photo inside its frame before exporting; the crop follows what you choose.

Can I make a strip with three or six frames?

Yes. The 3-frame layout suits a tighter crop or fewer good shots, and the 6-frame layout holds a longer sequence. Both stay on the 2x6 page, so switching between them never changes the print size or the price of a print.

Will a photo lab accept the PDF?

The PDF is 2x6 inches, and Pro writes it at 300dpi with crop marks, which is the form a lab or print shop expects. Send the PDF rather than a screenshot, and say the file is already at final size so it is not scaled to fit the paper.

Does it work on a phone?

The page runs in a phone browser and the strip reflows to a narrow screen. Photos can be taken straight from the camera roll, and the finished PNG can be shared from the same device without moving to a computer.

Can I print several strips on one sheet?

Not on this page: one strip is one 2x6 page. If you need a sheet of small prints, <a href="/print-multiple-photos-on-one-page/">print multiple photos on one page</a> lays them out on A4 or 4x6, and <a href="/photo-collage-sizes/">photo collage sizes</a> shows what fits.
