When to use it

Start with the result you need

This calculator is most useful when one part of the print specification is known and another needs to be checked.

Create an A4 or A3 document

Select the page name instead of looking up and converting its millimetre dimensions manually.

Move between paper standards

Compare ISO A-series sizes with Letter, Legal and Tabloid without assuming their proportions match.

Prepare a raster canvas

Get the pixel width and height required at the resolution specified by a printer or publisher.

The calculation

How it works

Standard paper sizes define physical dimensions. Convert millimetres to inches by dividing by 25.4, then multiply by the selected PPI to calculate pixels.

Metric results can round to the nearest whole pixel. These values describe the final sheet before any production bleed is added.

Quick reference

Standard sheets at 300 PPI

Pixel values are rounded to the nearest whole number and exclude bleed.

Orientation swaps width and height but does not change the sheet area.

Worked examples

Check the numbers

A4 portrait at 300 PPI

The finished page is approximately 2480 × 3508 pixels before bleed.

US Letter at 300 PPI

An 8.5 × 11 inch page requires exactly 2550 × 3300 pixels.

A3 at 150 PPI

The finished sheet is approximately 1754 × 2480 pixels, useful when a lower production target is appropriate.

Before you export

Common mistakes to avoid

Assuming A4 equals Letter

They differ in both dimensions and aspect ratio, so layouts can reflow or crop when moved between them.

Using pixels without a PPI target

A physical paper size does not have one fixed pixel size. Resolution must be part of the specification.

Forgetting the production canvas

The standard sheet is the trim size. Edge-to-edge artwork may need a larger document with bleed.

Common questions

Convert standard paper sizes to pixels. FAQ

How many pixels is A4?

At 300 PPI, A4 is approximately 2480 × 3508 pixels. At other resolutions, the pixel dimensions change.

Why are metric pixel values rounded?

PPI is measured per inch, so millimetres are converted through 25.4 mm per inch and the result is rounded to a whole pixel.

Does landscape require different pixels?

It uses the same two values in the opposite order. A4 landscape at 300 PPI is approximately 3508 × 2480 pixels.
