One question I keep getting asked is how to resize printables for the Happy Planner.
If you’re deciding what size Happy Planner is right for you – see this post.
Since the classic page size seems to be the most popular, that’s what I’m going to use for the tutorial. However, this tutorial will work for resizing any printable to any page size – just enter the page size you need in the custom page size menu of your printer.
Whenever you’re resizing printables it’s best to resize down i.e. use either an 8.5 x 11″ (US letter size) or A4 size printable to resize down to any other smaller page size.
Try this tutorial with one of the free printables in the library (click here).
How to resize printables for the Happy Planner
The dimensions for each Happy Planner (the dimensions you should enter in your printer’s menu):
- Mini
- 4.56″ x 6.96″ high
- 11.6cm wide x 17.7cm high
- 116mm wide x 177mm high
- Classic
- 7″ wide x 9.25″ high
- 17.8cm wide x 23.5cm high
- 178mm wide x 235mm high
- Big
- 8.5″ wide x 11″ high / US letter size
- (note: this is the page size that most printables come in so you probably won’t need to resize unless you have an A4 page size printable)
Note: for exact matching, I recommend you enter the dimensions into your printer menu using millimetres.
