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
4R (4x6) is smaller in area. 6R is larger in area. These formats have their own proportions; halving a sheet does not necessarily produce the next size.
Cut a square for origami
The largest square from a flat rectangle this size is 127 × 127 mm (5 × 5 in). Fold one short edge against a long edge so their corners meet. Crease the diagonal, cut off the extra 50.8 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.
