What size is legal paper in inches?

Published in Paper Sizes 1 min read

Legal size paper measures 8.5 inches wide by 14 inches long. This distinguishes it from standard letter size paper, which is 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Width: 8.5 inches
  • Length: 14 inches

The extra length of legal-size paper allows for more text or data to be accommodated on a single sheet, which is often useful for legal documents, contracts, and reports.
