Digital Planner Sizes: A4 vs A5 vs A6

Choose the best planner page size for tablets, printing and everyday note-taking.

A4: maximum writing room

A4 works well for desktop planning, detailed budgets and printable sheets. It gives charts and tables more room, but can feel large on a small tablet.

A5: the balanced choice

A5 is popular because it balances writing space and portability. It is a strong default for weekly planning, habit tracking and digital notebooks.

A6: compact and focused

A6 works best when you want a small number of fields, short checklists or quick reviews. It also fits split-screen workflows well.

Think about your device

On an 11-inch tablet, A5 usually feels natural. On phones and smaller tablets, A6 or slim layouts can be easier to read without constant zooming.

Match size to information density

Choose the smallest page that still gives every important field enough space. A planner should reduce friction, not force tiny handwriting.
