Letterhead Specs: Sizes, Margins & Fonts
The exact dimensions, margins and typography every letterhead in the editor is built against — A4 and US Letter in millimetres, inches and pixels, recommended margin presets, and font pairings proven to hold up in print.
Paper Sizes
A4 is the standard outside North America; US Letter and Legal are standard in the US and Canada. Every size below is a one-click option under the editor's Layout tab.
| Size | Dimensions | Editor canvas size |
|---|---|---|
| A4 International | 210 × 297 mm | 794 × 1123 px @ 96 DPI |
| US Letter | 8.5 × 11 in (216 × 279 mm) | 816 × 1056 px @ 96 DPI |
| US Legal | 8.5 × 14 in (216 × 356 mm) | 816 × 1344 px @ 96 DPI |
| A5 Small Note | 148 × 210 mm | 559 × 794 px @ 96 DPI |
| Executive Memo | 7.25 × 10.5 in (184 × 267 mm) | 696 × 1008 px @ 96 DPI |
Margin Presets
Top margin clears the header logo; side margins keep text off the trim edge; bottom margin leaves room for footer legal text and page numbers.
| Preset | Top | Side | Bottom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard (1" / 25mm) | 34px top | 40px side | 26px bottom |
| Narrow (0.6" / 15mm) | 20px top | 24px side | 18px bottom |
| Wide (1.4" / 35mm) | 48px top | 56px side | 36px bottom |
| Compact Header | 22px top | 32px side | 20px bottom |

Print resolution
Screens render at 72–96 DPI, which looks sharp on a monitor but soft once printed. The commercial print standard is 300 DPI — every PDF export from the editor renders at 2× the on-screen resolution specifically so logos and thin divider lines stay crisp on paper, not just on screen.
