A6 Size in Pixels
A6 measures 105 × 148 mm (4.13 × 5.83 in). At 300 DPI an A6 canvas is 1240 × 1748 pixels in portrait orientation.
A6 at 300 DPI: 1240 × 1748 px (landscape 1748 × 1240 px)
At 150 DPI: 620 × 874 px · at 72 DPI: 298 × 420 px
A6 pixel dimensions at each DPI
Calculated from the defining millimeter dimensions, rounded to the nearest whole pixel unless stated. “DPI” here means image pixels per inch (PPI), the way most print briefs use it.
| Density | Portrait (nearest) | Landscape (nearest) | Portrait, rounded up | Megapixels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 298 × 420 | 420 × 298 | 298 × 420 | 0.1 |
| 96 DPI | 397 × 559 | 559 × 397 | 397 × 560 | 0.2 |
| 150 DPI | 620 × 874 | 874 × 620 | 621 × 875 | 0.5 |
| 200 DPI | 827 × 1165 | 1165 × 827 | 827 × 1166 | 1 |

Nearest-pixel rounding can fall slightly below the target on one axis. Use Round up when the target is a strict minimum.
This is the canvas size. Changing a file’s PPI metadata alone does not create these pixels.

| Inches | 4.134 × 5.827 |
Rounding the canvas
At 300 PPI the exact width is 1,240.157 pixels and the height 1,748.031 pixels, so a whole-pixel canvas must round. Nearest rounding gives 1240 × 1748; rounding up gives 1241 × 1749, which keeps both axes at or above 300 PPI.
The aspect ratio is 1 : 1.4095, the √2 proportion shared by every A size, so A sizes scale into each other without cropping. Bleed is not included: add your provider’s bleed to each edge before calculating the file size.
Questions about this conversion
What is A6 in pixels at 300 DPI?
1240 × 1748 pixels portrait, or 1748 × 1240 landscape, about 2.2 megapixels.
What is A6 in pixels at 72 or 96 DPI?
At 72 DPI: 298 × 420 px. At 96 DPI: 397 × 559 px. These low densities suit on-screen previews and document templates rather than photo printing.
Does the page size include bleed or printer margins?
No. These are the nominal finished sheet dimensions. Bleed, safe areas and a printer’s unprintable margins are separate and depend on your provider and device.
