Which standard size is closest to yours?

Every common paper size, in the unit you need

Printing a poster, scanning a form, setting up a document or buying envelopes all start with the same question: how big is it? This page lists the ISO A, B and C sizes and the US and ANSI sizes in millimeters, centimeters, inches or points, with the size in pixels at whatever DPI you’re working to.

How to use it

  1. Search by name, series or measurement: A4, letter, envelope, or 210 x 297.
  2. Choose the unit for the table, and a DPI for the pixel column, or type your own.
  3. Switch to landscape to swap width and height.
  4. To match a sheet or image you have, enter its width and height in the finder. It lists the three closest standard sizes, either way round, and the smallest size it fits on.

How the sizes work

  • A series (ISO 216): A0 is one square meter, and each size is the one before cut in half, so two A4 sheets make an A3. All A sizes share the proportion 1 to √2, so a page scales to the next size without cropping.
  • B series (ISO 216): sizes between the A sizes; B4, for example, sits between A3 and A4.
  • C series and DL (ISO 269): envelopes made to fit A sheets. A C4 holds A4 flat, a C5 holds it folded once and a C6 folded twice; a DL holds it folded in three.
  • US and ANSI sizes: Letter (8.5 × 11 in) and Tabloid (11 × 17 in) are ANSI A and B in ANSI/ASME Y14.1, which goes on to C, D and E for drawings. Tabloid turned sideways is called Ledger. Legal (8.5 × 14 in) is a US size outside that standard.

Pixels and DPI

Paper has no pixels until you pick a resolution: pixels = inches × DPI, so A4 at 300 DPI is 2480 × 3508. 96 DPI matches the CSS pixel web pages use, and at 72 DPI one pixel is one point. For printing, ask your print shop what resolution it wants.

Good to know

  • Exact where it counts: ISO sizes are whole millimeters and US sizes exact inches; the other units are converted from those.
  • Images to size: the Image Resizer sets exact pixel dimensions, and Image to PDF puts pictures on A4 or Letter pages.

Frequently asked questions

What size is A4 in inches?
A4 is 210 × 297 mm, about 8.27 × 11.69 inches. It’s exactly half of A3 and twice the size of A5, and like every A size its sides are in the proportion 1 to √2.
How many pixels is A4 at 300 DPI?
2480 × 3508 pixels. At 150 DPI it’s 1240 × 1754, and at 96 DPI, the CSS pixel size web pages use, it’s 794 × 1123. Choose any DPI above the table to see every size in pixels.
Is US Letter the same as A4?
No. Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches (215.9 × 279.4 mm), which is 5.9 mm wider and 17.6 mm shorter than A4. Check the margins and the scaling before printing a document made for one size on paper of the other.
Which envelope fits an A4 letter?
A C4 envelope (229 × 324 mm) holds an A4 sheet flat, a C5 (162 × 229 mm) holds it folded in half, and a C6 (114 × 162 mm) folded in half twice. A DL envelope (110 × 220 mm) holds A4 folded in three.
