Paper Sizes Guide and Conversion Tool
Confused about paper sizes or just want a quick reference for sizes of A4, A3, A2, A1 etc? Then you're in the right place! Just to give you an introduction to standards, ISO 216 is the most typical form of paper sizing you will come across, and is seen as the international standard for paper sizes. This standard is also more commonly known as A size paper and B size paper (C size paper is ISO 269). Originally created for the litho and screen print industries where sizes need to be fixed, they are now used extensively in the large format digital printing market.
Our paper size calculator enables you to easily select whatever A paper size you desire and easily convert it to your required unit of measurement. For example, giving you A4 size paper in mm, cm, and inches, allowing you to see 210 x 297mm in inches is 8.3 x 11.7in, which is 21 x 29.7cm.
