2x6 or 4x6 Prints: What’s the Difference and Which One Is Right for Your Event?
When you book a photo booth, one of the first design choices you will make is your print size. We offer two main options. The classic 2x6 photo strip or a full 4x6 print.
Both look great and are the same high quality. But the layout and overall feel can be completely different. Here is a quick guide to help you decide which one works best for your event.
2x6 Photo Strips
These are the classic photo booth prints. Vertical strips with multiple poses and your logo or event message at the bottom.
Why people love them
They feel nostalgic
Easy to tuck into guest books or thank you cards
Guests love them
Great for parties or a more playful vibe
Photo strips are especially popular at weddings and social events where guests love keepsakes. If you are leaning toward a fun, energetic feel, this is the way to go.
4x6 Postcard Style Prints
These are larger, landscape or portrait style prints with more room for creative layout and text.
Why people love them
Clean and modern
Feels more like a frameable photo
Ideal for glam setups or minimalist backdrops
Can include one large image or a mix of multiple shots
These prints are perfect if you want your photo booth output to match your overall aesthetic. They are often chosen for upscale weddings, styled events, and corporate functions.
Both Sizes Can Be Customized
Whether you choose 2x6 or 4x6, every print layout is completely customizable. With 4x6 you can go with a single image and a clean overlay, or create a layout with multi shots. both sizes can be customized with names, dates, logos, or a design that ties into your décor.
You Get a GIF Too
When your layout includes two or more poses, the booth automatically creates a moving GIF. These are always a crowd favorite. Guests can text or email them to themselves right from the booth, and they are perfect for sharing on social media. It adds another layer of fun to the experience and gives you even more memories to enjoy.
How to Choose
Think about your guests. Think about your layout and the kind of memory you want them to take home.
If you love the energy of old school photo strips and want something classic and fun, go with 2x6.
If you are designing something more refined or want your prints to feel a little more high-end, 4x6 might be the better fit.
