A4 Pixel Size at 300, 240 and 150 PPI
A4 is 210 x 297 mm. To prepare an image for A4 printing, convert that physical size into pixels at the target PPI.
Quick answer
A4 at 300 PPI is about 2480 x 3508 pixels. At 240 PPI it is about 1984 x 2806 pixels, and at 150 PPI it is about 1240 x 1754 pixels.
How A4 pixels are calculated
A4 paper is 210 x 297 mm, or about 8.27 x 11.69 inches. Multiply the inch dimensions by the target PPI to get pixel dimensions.
For 300 PPI, 8.27 x 300 is about 2480 pixels and 11.69 x 300 is about 3508 pixels.
Bleed and margins
The pixel sizes here describe the finished A4 image area. If a printer requires bleed, add the bleed amount before converting to pixels.
If you are designing a document rather than a full-page image, keep important text away from trim edges and follow the printer template.
