Full-page images on Letter paper

At 300 DPI, a Letter page is 2550 × 3300 pixels.

Home printers can't print to the edge. Most leave a margin of about 0.25 inch. If your design must not be clipped, keep important content at least that far from every edge — or print through a shop that trims.

Flyers and posters. Letter is fine for notices and handouts; for bigger posters see 24×36.

Outside North America the standard is A4 (210×297 mm), which is slightly narrower and taller. Type 210 × 297 with the unit set to millimetres if you need A4.

Smaller prints: 8×10, 5×7.
