How to Use this Paper Size Comparison Generator
The tool is actually quite easy to use. You just need to choose a paper size from the dropdown list (e.g. letter paper size) and add it to the chart for size comparison. With respect to removing any figure, you can achieve that under the ‘Remove’ tab.
Please note also you can modify the position of any figure on the chart by dragging.
It’s worth noting there is a maximum number of 10 figures that can be added to the chart along with a human figure. Of course, you can always remove existing figures if you reach the limit and want to add new ones.

Conclusion
Whatever paper you want to compare the size between, this accurate online tool will help you out. You just need to choose and add the desired papers to the chart. There is also a human figure in case you need it for the comparison.
It’s worth mentioning the chart axis shows the height measurement in both metric (i.e. centimeters) and imperial units (i.e. feet and inches). So, you won’t need to worry about unit conversion.
Feel free to let us know if you find any size that’s inaccurate so we can correct it. Also, we would love to hear any suggestions or questions about the tool.
