Any ideas where to get 2inch x 2inch photos done?

I've bought some small magentic photo frames to give to family members with a picture of our son in for christmas presents. The only trouble is that they take a 2 x 2 photo. Does anyone know if there is a site that I can go and get some developed (If thats what you call it in the digital age!)

I have a snapfish account but as far as I can see they only do 3 x 2.

Thanks in advance

    You can download GIMP a free photo editing software and create a new empty image of 6x4 inch (the standard photo size). ie 6 x (2x2inch images)
    edit photos you like and save them as 2x2 and then cut and paste them into the 6x4 image that you created. As long as the resolution ppi is the same usually defaults to 300 ppi then you shouldnt get any resizing issues doing the cut and paste between the images.

    You can then order a single 6x4 print and end up with 6 2x2 that you just cut out for the grand total of about 15p

    ok it may take a little while to work it out if your not familiar with photo editing tools but its a straight forward set of actions.
