Poster size guide

We print A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1 - sizes available vary by design. Here is how the sizes compare and where each one works best.

Visual comparison

Relative footprint of each A-size (drawn to scale).

A3

297 × 420 mm

A2

420 × 594 mm

A1

Larger prints need higher-resolution files. Upload the original image rather than a compressed copy or screenshot for the sharpest A2 and A1 prints.

Framing tip: every poster ships at true A-sizes, so any standard IKEA, Amazon or high-street frame in A5, A4, A3, A2 or A1 fits without trimming.

Common questions

What size poster should I get for above a sofa?

A2 is our most-picked size for above a standard 3-seater sofa. If your sofa is oversized or the wall is very tall, A1 will hold the space better.

How big is A3 in inches?

A3 is 11.7 × 16.5 inches (297 × 420 mm). It is a great everyday size that looks substantial without dominating a room.

Can I get a custom size?

Yes - message our studio on WhatsApp with the dimensions you need and we will quote a bespoke price.

Will my phone photo print at A1?

It depends on the photo, not the phone. Most recent phone photos print well up to A2 or A3; A1 needs a genuinely high-resolution file. Upload the original (not a message copy or screenshot) and the editor's image-quality check will confirm the best size before you order.
