How the paper size guide works
- Choose a paper size — ISO A/B sizes or common US sizes.
- Pick a resolution to see the equivalent pixel dimensions for screen or print use.
- The scaled preview and reference table update instantly to match your selection.
Converting millimeters to pixels
Pixel dimensions depend on resolution (dots per inch, DPI) — the same physical paper size produces more pixels at a higher DPI. To convert, first turn millimeters into inches, then multiply by the chosen DPI:
pixels = (millimeters ÷ 25.4) × DPI
Example: A4 (210 × 297 mm) at 300 DPI is (210 ÷ 25.4) × 300 = 2480 px wide and (297 ÷ 25.4) × 300 = 3508 px tall.
FAQ
What's the difference between A4 and Letter size?
A4 (210 × 297 mm) is narrower and taller than US Letter (215.9 × 279.4 mm) — A4 is standard almost everywhere outside North America, while Letter is standard in the US, Canada, and a few other countries.
How do I get an exact pixel size for print?
Choose 300 DPI, which is the standard resolution for high-quality print. For on-screen use (web graphics, presentations), 72 or 96 DPI is more typical and gives a much smaller pixel size.
Why do ISO sizes (A4, A5, …) have a clean size relationship?
Each ISO A size is exactly half the area of the size above it, cut along the long edge — A5 is half an A4, A4 is half an A3, and so on. That's why they share the same aspect ratio (1:√2) at every size.
Is Legal size the same width as Letter?
Yes — Legal is the same width as Letter (215.9 mm / 8.5 in) but taller (355.6 mm / 14 in vs. 279.4 mm / 11 in), so most printers can switch between them without adjusting paper trays.
What size is A3 in pixels at 300 DPI?
A3 (297 × 420 mm) works out to about 3508 × 4961 pixels at 300 DPI — the same 3508 px short side as A4, since A3 is exactly two A4 sheets by area.
