Poster size guide
Posters are listed in A-series sizes and in inches, and it is hard to picture either. This is every size we sell, how big it is in centimetres, where it works, and what it costs today.

How to choose
Start from the wall, not the poster. A common interior-design rule of thumb is that art should fill about two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture beneath it, so a poster over a 150 cm bed or sofa wants to be big, or to be a group of smaller ones.
For a single poster on its own, A3 or 12×18 is the smallest size that holds a wall. A5 and A4 work on desks and shelves, and in grids of six or more. 16×24 is for when the poster is the focal point. You can also try a poster on your own wall with the wall builder.

Poster size questions
- What size anime poster should I buy?
- For one poster on its own wall, start at A3 or 12×18. For a desk, shelf or a group of prints, A5 and A4 are enough. For an empty wall that the poster has to carry on its own, choose 16×24.
- What is the difference between A3 and 12×18?
- A3 is 29.7 × 42 cm and 12×18 is 30.5 × 45.7 cm, so 12×18 is slightly larger and a little taller in proportion. They suit the same kinds of wall.
- Do all posters come in every size?
- Every single-poster design can be ordered in every size on this page. A triptych is a set of three matching panels (12×18, A4 or A3 in paper) and is sold as one set. The product page shows what is available for the poster you pick.
- Can I mix sizes in one order?
- Yes. The multi-buy discount counts every paper poster in your cart whatever the size, so you can mix A5, A4 and A3 in the same order.
