Common uses
A5 is a handy notebook, journal and small booklet size. An A4 cover folded across its long edge makes an A5 cover.
How it compares
Two A5 sheets placed side by side make approximately one A4 sheet. Cut A5 across the middle of its long edge to get two A6 sheets. Whole-millimetre rounding can leave a 1 mm difference at a cut edge.
