Paper & Print Size Viewer (Actual Size)

See A4, US Letter, envelopes, business cards and photo prints at actual size on your screen, compare two sizes, and get pixels for printing

How to use

  1. Calibrate once by holding a bank card against the screen and matching the outline. Other actual-size tools on the site reuse it.
  2. Pick a size, such as A4, US Letter, a 4 x 6 photo print or a DL envelope. It is shown at its real size.
  3. Choose Compare with to lay a second size over it, and switch between portrait and landscape.
  4. Read the size in mm, cm and inches, and the pixels you need to print it at 72, 150, 300 or 600 dpi.

Frequently asked questions

What is the size of A4 paper?

US Letter is 216 x 279 mm, so it is 6 mm wider and 18 mm shorter than A4. Choose A4 and compare with US Letter to see it.

How can a screen show real size?

Screens have different pixel densities, so the page asks you to match a bank card, which is the same size everywhere. From then on, millimetres on screen are real millimetres.

Why does a large size not fit on my screen?

A3 or Tabloid are bigger than most screens at actual size. Scroll to see all of it, or tick Fit to screen to see it scaled down.
