Sizing Guide

Which Measurement Will My Art Be Printed In?
We're connected with printing labs in the UK, USA, EU and Australia. The table below shows whether your unframed print will be made in cm or inches for each region. If you're ordering from outside these countries, your print will be made in cm.

Conversion Chart
Inches and centimetres don't convert cleanly, so please order using the size shown for your region rather than the nearest round number. For example, a UK customer buying a 6 x 8 inch print will receive it in its true metric equivalent, 15 x 20cm — not a literal inch-to-cm conversion. If you then bought a 6 x 8 inch frame instead of a 15 x 20cm one, the print would not fit.
| Inches | cm | IKEA size |
|---|---|---|
| 6 x 8" | 15 x 20 cm | — |
| 8 x 10" | 20 x 25 cm | — |
| 11 x 14" | 28 x 35.5 cm | — |
| 12 x 12" | 30 x 30 cm | — |
| 12 x 16" | 30 x 40 cm | IKEA |
| 16 x 20" | 40 x 50 cm | IKEA |
| 18 x 24" | 45 x 60 cm | — |
| 20 x 20" | 50 x 50 cm | — |
| 20 x 28" | 50 x 70 cm | IKEA |

What Size is A4, A3 etc?
A-series sizes (A4, A3, A2, A1) are the most common frame sizes in the UK and Europe.
Buying in the UK/EU? You'll find these frames everywhere.
Buying in the USA/Canada? These are less common than inch-based sizes. We suggest sourcing your frames first to ensure these international dimensions are available to you.
| Size | cm | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | 84.1 x 118.9 cm | 33.1 x 46.8 inches |
| A1 | 59.4 x 84.1 cm | 23.4 x 33.1 inches |
| A2 | 42 x 59.4 cm | 16.5 x 23.4 inches |
| A3 | 29.7 x 42 cm | 11.7 x 16.5 inches |
| A4 | 21 x 29.7 cm | 8.3 x 11.7 inches |
| A5 | 14.8 x 21 cm | 5.8 x 8.3 inches |
Choosing Your Frame Size
Buying a frame is easy once you know what to look for.
Frame Only (No Mount / Mat board)
Simply match the labels. The dimensions of the print you order should be the exact dimensions listed for the frame.
A4 Print → A4 Frame | 30x40cm Print → 30x40cm Frame
Frame with a Mount / Mat board
If the frame includes a card border (a mount or mat), the internal opening of the mount / mat is the measurement that matters.
Match our print size to the frame's opening size. E.g. an A4 print needs "Opening size 21x29.7cm."
Double-Check Your Dimensions
Thinking of sourcing your own frame? We love that! To ensure your gallery wall looks perfect, we recommend confirming the availability of your chosen frame size before purchasing your print.
We offer a variety of international sizes (A-series and Metric) that may not be standard in every country. A quick measurement check now ensures a seamless framing experience later.
Visualize Your Gallery Wall
Not sure which size will look best? Here's a stylist's secret: use masking tape or scrap paper to mark out the dimensions of the prints on your wall before you buy. This helps you "see" the scale of the art in your space and ensures your layout feels perfectly balanced.
IKEA Framing Guide
Framing with IKEA is a fantastic, budget-friendly way to refresh your space regularly. We've highlighted the most popular IKEA-compatible sizes in our chart above to make your search easier.
Metric vs. Imperial
Our UK prints are produced in centimetres (cm) to align with European IKEA standards. If you are shopping outside the UK, please double-check that your local IKEA dimensions match our print sizes in inches.
Stock & Availability
IKEA frequently updates their collections. To avoid any disappointment, we strongly recommend securing your frames first before ordering your prints, as specific sizes can occasionally be discontinued or go out of stock.
