Formula

How to calculate this size

Pixel formulapixels = millimeters / 25.4 x PPI

127 mm x 300 PPI = 1,500 px wide.

Trim result1,500 x 2,400 px

Use this when the artwork stops at the finished edge.

Bleed result1,571 x 2,471 px

Add 3 mm per side before calculating pixels when artwork reaches the edge.

Common mistakes

Avoid these junior legal paper size problems

Mixing screen pixels with print quality

A paper size needs a PPI target before pixels mean anything for print.

Forgetting orientation

Portrait and landscape use the same dimensions, but width and height swap in the export.

Adding bleed to a paper reference

Paper pages show trim size first; add bleed only when the design prints to the edge.
