The safe size for any room: 30 x 42cm

WHAT TO KNOW

What to know about A3

  • 29.7 x 42cm, 11.7 x 16.5 inches. Twice A4, half A2.
  • Any phone photo prints sharp at A3, including most copies sent through messaging apps.
  • Framed A3 leans on a shelf as well as it hangs, which makes it the size for rooms where you can't put a nail in.
  • Three or more unframed prints to one address are 20% off, which is how a set of A3s for a gallery wall gets cheap.

A3 - 30x42cm: $13.00 unframed, $41.00 framed in Black, White or Oak. Delivery included.

How long it takes

In the UK, A3 prints ordered before 3pm on a working day leave the same day and usually arrive two to three working days later, tracked; framed A3 takes one to three working days to make first. Elsewhere it's printed in your country; times are on the page for where you are. Delivery included.

THE PAPER

Paper you can feel

Bold, vibrant colours with a reflective shine. The one for photos.
Satin
Smooth, subtle sheen with minimal glare. Lifts colour without the shine.
Matte
Classic flat finish, no reflections. The choice for art prints and anything behind glass.

HOW IT LOOKS

What you see is what prints

The crop tool fits your file to the size you choose and shows you exactly what will print. Then the product image becomes a preview of your print in the frame. If it looks right on the screen, it's right on the wall; what you upload is what you get.

Live preview
Your file appears in a Black, White or Oak frame the moment it's uploaded. Change the size or frame and it updates.
Crop you control
Drag the crop until the important part is in. Portrait or landscape, same price. Nothing is cropped without you seeing it.
Delivery included
Printed near you, tracked to your door, rolled in a tube or boxed in a frame. Damaged in transit? Reprinted and resent free.

REVIEWS

What people say about our prints

Rated 4.8 on Trustpilot by the sellers whose customers see our prints every day.

Your questions

Is A3 big enough for a wall?

For a narrow wall, a hallway, beside a door or above a desk, yes. Above a sofa it reads as small on its own; three A3s in a row fix that.

What's the American equivalent of A3?

11x17 is the closest in size, though a different shape (2:3); 11x14 and 12x16 are close too. Pick by the shape of your image; the crop tool shows the fit.

How does an unframed A3 arrive?

Flat, in a stiff mailer, so there's no curl to flatten. Framed A3 comes boxed with the hanging kit.

Can I hang it without nails?

A framed A3 is light enough for a removable adhesive strip rated for the weight, and it leans well on a shelf or a desk. Unframed, washi tape at the corners comes off clean.

A3 as a gift

If you're choosing a size for someone else's wall, A3 is the one that can't be wrong. It fits a flat, a house, an office and a student room; it hangs or leans; and framed it arrives finished, so the person receiving it has nothing to do. A4 reads as a snapshot and A2 needs a wall you've seen.

Black suits most rooms and most images; Oak if the photo is warm; White if you know the room is bright. Matte is what framed prints are printed on, so the finish choice only applies unframed.

Put their address at checkout, yours as the buyer, and a message in the basket; it's printed on a slip and packed with the print, and nothing in the box shows the price.
