How Executive compares with Letter and A5
Executive is a distinct North American page size, not a scaling instruction. Choose 7.25 × 10.5 inches in the document and print driver when the stock is truly Executive; otherwise use a custom-size setting that matches the physical sheet.
| Format | Exact dimensions | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Executive | 7.25 × 10.5 in · 184.15 × 266.7 mm | Compact North American office sheet |
| US Letter | 8.5 × 11 in · 215.9 × 279.4 mm | 1.25 inches wider and 0.5 inch taller |
| A5 | 5.83 × 8.27 in · 148 × 210 mm | Smaller ISO sheet with a different proportion |
Stock labeled Executive is less common than Letter. Confirm the sheet dimensions and the printer’s accepted custom-size range instead of assuming that an “Executive” menu label matches paper already on hand.

Executive size in pixels at 72, 96, 150, 300 and 600 PPI
There is no single pixel size for Executive. The table uses image resolution in pixels per inch (PPI), often called DPI in paper-size searches. Printer DPI describes ink dots, not image pixels. Values are rounded to the nearest whole pixel and exclude bleed.
| Resolution | Pixel width | Pixel height | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72 PPI | 522 px | 756 px | Screen preview |
| 96 PPI | 696 px | 1,008 px | Screen preview |
| 150 PPI | 1,088 px | 1,575 px | Draft print |
| 300 PPI | 2,175 px | 3,150 px | Quality print |
| 600 PPI | 4,350 px | 6,300 px | High-detail source |
Landscape, custom resolution and bleed
For landscape at 300 PPI, use 3150 × 2175 px. For any other resolution, calculate each side as millimeters ÷ 25.4 × PPI, then round once at the end. Use the millimeter values above rather than rounded inches.
If your printer asks for 3 mm bleed on every edge, add 6 mm to both dimensions: 190.15 × 272.7 mm, or approximately 2246 × 3221 px at 300 PPI. This is an example, not a universal bleed requirement.
Changing a low-resolution image’s PPI label alone does not add detail. A 72 or 96 PPI value also does not guarantee life-size display on a screen. Adobe explains image resolution and resampling.

Regional & printer note
Will a printer recognize Executive?
Executive appears in many North American page-setup menus, but physical stock and automatic printer trays are less common than Letter. The PWG self-describing name is na_executive_7.25x10.5in.
Always match the document size, print-driver size, paper tray, and physical sheet. A driver can silently scale a page even when the preview looks correct.
