A7 paper size
74 × 105 mm
2.91 × 4.13 inches · 7.4 × 10.5 cm · aspect ratio 1:1.42
A7 size is 74 × 105 mm. Those are the A7 dimensions a printer works to; the same sheet in centimetres, inches, points and pixels is below.
What A7 is for
A7 is pocket size at 74 × 105 mm, used for small notepads, tickets and folded leaflets. It is about the size of a passport page, and small enough that anything printed on it needs at least 8 pt type to stay readable.
A7 dimensions in every unit
| Unit | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|
| Millimetres | 74 mm | 105 mm |
| Centimetres | 7.4 cm | 10.5 cm |
| Inches | 2.91 in | 4.13 in |
| Points (PostScript) | 210 pt | 298 pt |
A7 in pixels
Pixel dimensions depend entirely on the resolution you are working at — there is no single "pixel size" for a sheet of paper. A7 size in pixels has every resolution, with file sizes and canvas setup.
| Resolution | Pixels | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 210 × 298 | Screen preview only — far too coarse to print |
| 150 DPI | 437 × 620 | Draft printing, internal documents |
| 300 DPI | 874 × 1240 | The standard for commercial print |
| 600 DPI | 1748 × 2480 | Fine detail, line art, archival scanning |
Setting up a print document? Use 300 DPI and add 3 mm of bleed on every edge unless your printer specifies otherwise.
How A7 relates to the rest of the series
A7 is A0 halved 7 times. Halving a sheet across its longer side is what generates the next size down, and because the sides are in a 1:√2 ratio the proportions survive every fold — which is the entire reason the series exists.
That makes 128 sheets of A7 exactly one sheet of A0, with nothing left over. The area works out at 0.007813 m², since A0 is defined as one square metre.
Against the sheet most people picture: 8 of these fit on one A4.
Scaling to the next size up or down is a factor of √2 ≈ 1.414 on each edge, so enlarging A7 to the next size is 141% on a photocopier and reducing it is 71%. Those two numbers are on the preset buttons of most copiers for exactly this reason, and they are the same for every size in the series.
About A7
Pocket size, used for small notepads and tickets.
Why A sizes halve so neatly
The A series is built on a 1:√2 ratio — approximately 1:1.414. That proportion has a unique property: cut the sheet in half across its long side and the two halves keep exactly the same proportions. This is why two A4 sheets make an A3, why scaling A4 artwork to A3 needs no cropping, and why photocopiers have a single "A4 → A3" button that just works.
