Paper Sizes Guide
Compare A-series, B-series, US paper, and photo sizes for common print projects.
A4 and Letter are not the same
A4 is 210 x 297 mm. US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches, or about 216 x 279 mm.
They are close enough to cause confusion, but different enough to affect layout, page breaks, and print scaling.

Choose the paper people will actually print
