9 2x3 photos fit on one A4 sheet at actual size
A 2x3 photo is 50.8 x 76.2 mm. The sheet is A4, 210 x 297 mm, a built-in preset in FitPrint. The layout below is what FitPrint produces with its defaults: Fit most packing, Original size scaling, a 5 mm gap between items and a 5 mm side margin. Nothing is scaled: each item is placed at 50.8 x 76.2 mm, its true size.

What the status line says
With 9 2x3 photos in the list, FitPrint's status line reads exactly "9 items · 1 A4 sheet". Add one more and it reads "10 items · 2 A4 sheets": the extra item starts a new sheet rather than shrinking anything.
How to lay this out in FitPrint
- Drag your files in. Open FitPrint and drag your 2x3 photo files onto the window. Each file appears in the list with its size in the caption.
- Choose the A4 sheet. Click A4 in the sheet preset grid. FitPrint then lays the items out on a 210 x 297 mm sheet.
- Keep scaling on Original size. Original size places every item at 100 percent, so a printed item measures exactly what the file says it measures.
- Leave packing on Fit most. Fit most packs as many items per sheet as fit. With the default 5 mm gap and 5 mm side margin that is 9 2x3 photos per A4 sheet.
- Change the gap or side margin only if you need to. The defaults are a 5 mm gap and a 5 mm side margin. The settings table on this page shows what every other recorded setting places on this sheet.
- Export and print at actual size. Click Export PDF, then set Scale to 100 percent and Pages per Sheet to 1 in the print dialog so nothing re-scales the exported file.
