A2 print size in pixels

A2 is a serious wall-art size; one of the heaviest files in a typical bundle. Here is the exact pixel size you need at print resolution, with a calculator for other DPIs.

At 300 DPI and JPEG quality 90, expect roughly 31–56 MB per file depending on detail.

Why these numbers

Pixel dimensions are simply inches multiplied by DPI: 16.5 in × 300 = 4960 px and 23.4 in × 300 = 7016 px. Print labs rasterise your file at the size the buyer orders, so delivering exactly 4960 × 7016 px means no upscaling, no soft edges, and no rejected files.

If your source artwork has a different aspect ratio (most AI generators output 16:9 or 1:1), you cannot reach A2 by scaling alone — the image must be resized to fill and then cropped. Doing that by hand for every size in a bundle is where sellers lose hours.
