Print Scale Calculator

Compare Actual Size, 100%, Fit to Page, Fill Page, and custom scale before printing. Upload an image or enter the original content size manually, then see final printed size, crop risk, white space, and a paper preview.

Print scale inputs

Use this for images, worksheets, cards, posters, labels, or classroom printables when you need to understand how scaling changes the physical output.

No image selected. You can upload an image to fill the original size automatically, or enter the physical size manually below.

Scaling mode

Tip: choose Actual Size / 100% when physical size matters. Choose Fit when you want everything visible. Choose Fill when full-page coverage matters more than avoiding crop.

Print caution: browser print settings, printer margins, printer drivers, and paper tray settings can change the final output. If exact size matters, print one test page and measure the 1-inch calibration square.

Paper preview

The preview uses paper proportions, margins, selected scale mode, and content aspect ratio. It is a planning preview, not a printer-driver guarantee.
