A4 Poster Size Guide
An A4 tiled poster is made by placing multiple A4 pages into a grid. The finished poster size depends on the number of rows and columns, plus whether the A4 pages are portrait or landscape.
Use this guide to choose a practical A4 poster size before opening the editor and printing a tiled PDF.
Common A4 poster sizes
A4 paper is 210 x 297 mm. A 2 x 2 portrait A4 grid creates a compact poster, while a 3 x 3 portrait grid creates a larger wall poster that is close to 24 x 36 inches.
For exact comparisons across rows, columns, and paper orientations, use the paper tile size table or wall poster calculator.
Common uses
Small A4 posters
Use a 2 x 2 grid when you want a manageable four-page poster.
Large A4 posters

Custom wall sizes
