A5 measures 148 × 210 mm (5.83 × 8.27 in). At 300 DPI an A5 canvas is 1748 × 2480 pixels in portrait orientation.
A5 at 300 DPI: 1748 × 2480 px (landscape 2480 × 1748 px)
At 150 DPI: 874 × 1240 px · at 72 DPI: 420 × 595 px
A5 pixel dimensions at each DPI
Calculated from the defining millimeter dimensions, rounded to the nearest whole pixel unless stated. “DPI” here means image pixels per inch (PPI), the way most print briefs use it.
| Density | Portrait (nearest) | Landscape (nearest) | Portrait, rounded up | Megapixels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 420 × 595 | 595 × 420 | 420 × 596 | 0.2 |
| 96 DPI | 559 × 794 | 794 × 559 | 560 × 794 | 0.4 |
| 150 DPI | 874 × 1240 | 1240 × 874 | 875 × 1241 | 1.1 |
| 200 DPI | 1165 × 1654 | 1654 × 1165 | 1166 × 1654 | 1.9 |
| 300 DPI | 1748 × 2480 | 2480 × 1748 | 1749 × 2481 | 4.3 |

Nearest-pixel rounding can fall slightly below the target on one axis. Use Round up when the target is a strict minimum.
This is the canvas size. Changing a file’s PPI metadata alone does not create these pixels.

Rounding the canvas
At 300 PPI the exact width is 1,748.031 pixels and the height 2,480.315 pixels, so a whole-pixel canvas must round. Nearest rounding gives 1748 × 2480; rounding up gives 1749 × 2481, which keeps both axes at or above 300 PPI.
The aspect ratio is 1 : 1.4189, the √2 proportion shared by every A size, so A sizes scale into each other without cropping. Bleed is not included: add your provider’s bleed to each edge before calculating the file size.
Questions about this conversion
What is A5 in pixels at 300 DPI?
1748 × 2480 pixels portrait, or 2480 × 1748 landscape, about 4.3 megapixels.
What is A5 in pixels at 72 or 96 DPI?
At 72 DPI: 420 × 595 px. At 96 DPI: 559 × 794 px. These low densities suit on-screen previews and document templates rather than photo printing.
Does the page size include bleed or printer margins?
No. These are the nominal finished sheet dimensions. Bleed, safe areas and a printer’s unprintable margins are separate and depend on your provider and device.
