Common uses

Use this format for photo prints, albums or framed pictures. Check the picture’s proportions before cropping, and match the frame opening to the print size.

How it compares

A3+ / Super B is smaller in area. These formats have their own proportions; halving a sheet does not necessarily produce the next size.

From sheet to fold

Cut a square for origami

The largest square from a flat rectangle this size is 406.4 × 406.4 mm (16 × 16 in). Fold one short edge against a long edge so their corners meet. Crease the diagonal, cut off the extra 101.6 mm strip, then open the triangle.

For origami, use thin uncoated paper with these dimensions instead of thick or coated stock. Try the beginner origami dog with your square, or see how to prepare square paper.
