Is A3 bigger or smaller than A5?

A-series

Our designers work with A sizes every day and know them by heart. Well... almost, because even they often double-check to ensure the document is truly the correct size.

The A-series starts with the largest paper size: A0. With each subsequent size, the dimension is halved in the longest direction. So, A1 is equal to half of A0. A2 is half of A1 and so on. The smaller the number, the larger the size! Therefore, an A3 is larger than an A5. Got it?

A4 is the most well-known and commonly used paper size in the A-series: 210 x 297 mm. A4 sheets are standard for printers and almost all letters and invoices use this basic size. For modest posters and folded brochures, we often choose an A3 size and for flyers, A5 is ideal.
