Quick Answer
What are the standard digital planner sizes for Etsy?
The 4 Standard Digital Planner Page Sizes
These four sizes cover the vast majority of Etsy digital planner buyers. Including all four in a single listing gives you the widest possible audience — US buyers, international buyers, iPad users, and print-at-home customers.
| Size | Pixels (300 DPI) | Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| A4 | 2480 × 3508 px | 8.27 × 11.69" | Europe, Australia, global default |
| A5 | 1748 × 2480 px | 5.83 × 8.27" | GoodNotes, iPad, compact planners |
| US Letter | 2550 × 3300 px | 8.5 × 11" | US & Canada buyers |
| Half Letter | 1275 × 1650 px | 5.5 × 8.5" | Compact US format, mini planners |
All sizes at 300 DPI. Portrait orientation (height > width) is standard for planners. If your planner has landscape pages (e.g. weekly spreads), swap width and height values.
GoodNotes, Notability & iPad-Optimized Sizes
Most digital planner buyers use GoodNotes or Notability on an iPad. These apps display PDFs at the file's native aspect ratio, so the ratio you choose affects how much white border the buyer sees. Here's what works best for each device:
Most sellers include A5 (1748×2480 px) as the iPad-friendly option because it works in GoodNotes and also prints cleanly. If you want a true zero-margin iPad experience, add a separate “iPad optimized” version at 1668×2224 px.
Hyperlinked vs. Non-Hyperlinked Planners — Does Size Affect It?
Hyperlinks in PDFs are size-independent — they work at any pixel dimension. What matters is the aspect ratio, not the absolute size. A hyperlinked A4 planner will have all links intact if you scale it up to A3 or down to A5, as long as the ratio stays the same.
Where sellers run into trouble: resizing a hyperlinked planner to a different ratio (e.g. from A4 to US Letter) shifts the page proportions and misaligns link targets. Keep ratios consistent across your size variants, or rebuild links for each ratio separately.

How to Package Multiple Planner Sizes for Etsy Without Manual Resizing
Top-selling Etsy planner shops don't create each size by hand. They generate all variants from a single master file. Here's the workflow that eliminates manual resizing:
- 1Design at A4 (2480 × 3508 px)A4 is the safest master size — it's larger than A5 and close to US Letter proportions, so downscaling quality loss is minimal.
- 2Upload your master file to SnapToSizeOne upload generates A5, US Letter, and Half Letter automatically. No manual resizing, no Photoshop artboards.
- 3Download the ZIP and split by sizeEach size exports as a separate file. Zip them individually so each Etsy digital download stays under 20MB — Etsy's file size limit.
- 4List all 4 sizes as separate digital filesEtsy allows up to 5 digital files per listing. Upload A4, A5, Letter, and Half Letter as four separate files within the same listing.

Planner Cover vs. Interior Page Sizes — Are They Different?
Cover pages and interior pages should use the same pixel dimensions. Mixing sizes (e.g. an A4 cover with A5 interior pages) creates jarring transitions in GoodNotes and Notability, and confuses buyers who expect a seamless PDF.
Some sellers design covers with a bleed area — adding 3–5mm on each edge to allow for slight trimming if printed. At 300 DPI, that means adding roughly 35–60 px per edge. This is optional for digital-only planners, but useful if you expect print buyers.
The short rule: one consistent size per planner variant. If you offer A4 and A5 versions, both the cover and every interior page in the A4 file should be 2480×3508 px, and the same logic applies to A5, Letter, and Half Letter variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
The four standard sizes are A4 (2480×3508 px), A5 (1748×2480 px), US Letter (2550×3300 px), and Half Letter (1275×1650 px) — all at 300 DPI. Most top-selling Etsy planners include all four sizes in a single listing to cover both US and international buyers.
GoodNotes uses an iPad screen ratio of approximately 3:4. A5 (1748×2480 px) works well for most iPad models. For the iPad Pro 12.9″, you can use a slightly larger file — 2048×2732 px — which matches the native display resolution. US Letter also works but shows small side margins in GoodNotes.
Yes. A4 is standard in Europe, Australia, and most of the world. US Letter is standard in the US and Canada. If you only offer one, you exclude a large portion of your buyers. Including both (plus A5 and Half Letter) covers 95%+ of planner users globally.
Not technically — they use the same pixel dimensions. However, some sellers design cover pages at A4 or US Letter even when interior pages are A5, creating a slight proportional difference when viewed in GoodNotes. For a seamless experience, use consistent dimensions across the entire planner.
Yes, but multi-size planner bundles can easily exceed 20MB per file. The solution is to split sizes into separate ZIP files (one per size) or compress PDFs before zipping. Etsy allows up to 5 digital files per listing, so you can deliver A4, A5, Letter, and Half Letter as four separate downloads.
300 DPI is the standard for all print-ready digital products on Etsy, including planners. Even though planners are primarily used digitally on screens, 300 DPI ensures buyers can print individual pages at full quality if they want a physical copy — a common request.
A5 is an ISO paper size with a ratio of approximately 1:1.41 (A-series ratio). iPad screens use a 3:4 ratio. These are close but not identical — A5 (1748×2480 px) will show thin side margins in GoodNotes on most iPads. For a zero-margin fit, use a custom 1668×2224 px file sized to the iPad Air display.
