letter size

Common document format

Letter size is the standard paper dimension in the United States and Canada, measuring 8.5 by 11 inches.

It's the default for office documents, school assignments, and home printing: The printer takes letter size paper.

Outside North America, A4 is the equivalent standard, slightly narrower and taller.
