A5 is half the size of A4 and is commonly used for flyers, booklets, small brochures, greeting cards and pocket-sized printed materials. The pixel dimensions of an A5 image depend on the print resolution being targeted. At 300 DPI for high quality print output, A5 in portrait orientation is 1748x2480 pixels. At 150 DPI for general print use it is 874x1240 pixels. Flyers, event programs, recipe cards and small format printed marketing materials all use A5 as a standard size and getting the pixel dimensions right before sending to a print service avoids the automatic rescaling that can soften edges and reduce print quality.
How to Resize an Image to A5
For A5 at 300 DPI, enter 1748 in the width field and 2480 in the height field for portrait orientation, or swap the values for landscape. For A5 at 150 DPI, enter 874 in the width field and 1240 in the height field. For A5 at 72 DPI screen resolution, enter 420 in the width field and 595 in the height field.
If the original image is already close to an A5 aspect ratio, leaving the Maintain Aspect Ratio checkbox on scales cleanly. If the original is a different shape, turn it off to force the exact dimensions. For print files where distortion would be a problem, using a source image that is already close to A5 proportions gives the best result. Upload multiple images at once and download as a ZIP when done.
A5 Pixel Dimensions Reference
A5 portrait at 72 DPI: 420x595 pixels. A5 portrait at 150 DPI: 874x1240 pixels. A5 portrait at 300 DPI: 1748x2480 pixels. A5 landscape at 300 DPI: 2480x1748 pixels. For most professional print use, 300 DPI is the standard. For digital distribution of flyers and event programs where screen display is the primary use, 72 DPI keeps file sizes small.
Output Format for A5 Print Images
JPEG handles photographic content in A5 flyers and brochures well while keeping file sizes manageable for email distribution and digital sharing. PNG is the right choice for designed layouts with text, flat colors and graphic elements where clean sharp rendering is more important than file size. Most print services and online print ordering platforms accept both JPEG and PNG for A5 format uploads.
