A2 is a paper format at 42 x 59.4 cm, and canvas is not made in paper formats. What we do have is a 60 x 40 cm canvas, which hung portrait gives you 40 x 60 cm - 20 mm narrower and 6 mm taller than A2. Stand back a metre and the two are indistinguishable.
A2 is 42 x 59.4 cm. Our 60 x 40 cm canvas, rotated, is 40 x 60 cm. That is a 20 mm difference in width and 6 mm in height - less than the border on most picture frames, and invisible once it is on a wall.
An A2 print on its own is a floppy sheet of paper; it needs a frame, a mount and usually glass before it can go on a wall, and by then you have spent several times £24.00. A canvas arrives finished, with the image wrapped round the edges of the frame and the fixings already on the back.
Portrait formats suit narrow walls, the space between two windows, and the run of wall beside a doorway. They also suit photographs of people, which is why the A2 shape is so common in poster and print shops in the first place.
About 3543 x 2362 px, roughly 8.4 megapixels - the standard requirement for our 60 x 40 cm format. Any current phone or camera manages it. Files pulled from social media may not, so use the original where you can.
| Compared with | How it differs |
|---|---|
| A2 vs 60x40 portrait | 20 mm narrower, 6 mm taller. Less difference than the border on most frames. |
| A2 vs A3 | A2 is double the area. Our A3 equivalent is the 40x30 canvas hung portrait at £16.00. |
| Canvas vs framed A2 print | A framed and mounted A2 print typically costs several times £24.00 and needs assembling. |
For a larger portrait piece, look at the 80x60 canvas print. Prefer to browse the whole range before you commit? Every format, edge design and frame option is on our canvas prints page.
Not in A2 precisely, because canvas is sized in centimetres rather than paper formats. Our 60 x 40 cm canvas hung portrait is 40 x 60 cm, which is within 20 mm of A2.
42 x 59.4 cm, or 16.5 x 23.4 inches.
Usually, once you have added a frame, a mount and glass to the print. Our 40 x 60 cm canvas is £24.00 and arrives ready to hang.
16.5 x 23.4 inches.
No. 40x60 is within 20 mm on the long edge and 6 mm on the short one, which is the closest any round-centimetre canvas gets to A2.
