Width in cm

Height in cm

Enter the height of the page, in cm, here.

Format list

This is a list of common paper formats. Doubleclicking one of them will cause the width and height to be set according to the selected paper format. Doubleclicking on "A4 portrait" for example will set the width to 21.0 cm and height to 29.7 cm.

Currently, the list focuses on DIN formats - I couldnīt get my hands on a list of other paper formats, especially US ones. Feel free to e-mail me your favorite paper formats :-)
