Calculate a canvas with your own settings

Your dimensions

On your device

Presets set the finished print size and unit. PPI and rounding remain your choice.

The desired finished width, before any bleed.

The desired finished height, before any bleed.

Applies to both dimensions.

Use your print provider’s requirement when available.

Nearest is a conventional approximation; round up meets at least the target PPI on both axes.

Use a decimal point, without commas. Physical lengths and PPI accept up to 4 decimal places.

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.

How these pixel sizes are calculated

Inch-based sheets multiply cleanly: Letter at 300 PPI is exactly 2550 × 3300 pixels. Executive (7.25 in) and other fractional widths can still need rounding at some densities. ANSI A and B are the same sheets as Letter and Tabloid. Values use nearest whole-pixel rounding in portrait orientation.

pixels = size in inches × DPI

Open a row in the calculator to choose round-up instead of nearest rounding, change orientation or enter a custom density. Use the full paper reference to search all 51 formats and download a CSV.
