How big will it look on my wall?
- A6 (10 × 15 cm) is postcard size: perfect leaning on a shelf or in a group of small frames.
- A5 (15 × 20 cm) is about the size of a paperback book: great for gallery walls.
- A4 (20 × 30 cm) is about the size of a sheet of printer paper: the most popular size for bedrooms.
- A3 (30 × 40 cm) is the size of two sheets of paper side by side: a proper statement poster.
Tip: before ordering, cut a piece of paper or cardboard to the size you want and stick it to the wall with tape. It is the easiest way to see how a poster will look.
Gallery wall sizes
A gallery wall looks best when you mix sizes in the same style and frame colour. Popular combinations are one A3 in the centre with four A5 prints around it, or a row of three A4 prints above a sofa. Leave about 5 cm between frames, and hang the centre of the group at eye level (around 145–150 cm from the floor). With buy 3, get 1 free, a four-print gallery wall costs the price of three.
About our digital downloads
Our digital downloads are sent by email as high-resolution JPG and PDF files at 300 dpi, ready to print at home or at a local print shop. For the best results:
- Print on matte or photo paper, at 100% scale, without "fit to page".
- Choose a size with the same proportions as the poster, so nothing is cropped.
- 300 dpi means the file has enough detail to print sharply at our standard sizes.
Paper and printing
Printed posters are printed on demand on 260gsm matte paper, which gives deep colours without reflections. They are sent unframed unless you choose the framed option, so you can pick a frame that suits your home.
