What Size Art Prints Sell Best

Best Sizes For Art Prints

Are you interested in selling prints of your paintings of drawings to supplement your income?

Selling reproductions of your original artwork is an excellent way to market your art business to a broader audience and make more money from an already sold painting.

The first question artists have when they start selling art prints is what size prints sell the best.

What Size Prints Sell Best For Fine Art

Selling art prints is so much more affordable than it was fifteen or twenty years ago.

Years ago, artists would have to invest in a large number of prints with the hopes of selling them so they could make up the money invested and make a profit.

Today artists can sell prints with no upfront costs with print-on-demand sites like Printful.

In the past, artists would decide on one or two sizes to sell because of the upfront costs. However, today, artists can offer various sizes without paying anything in advance unless they are getting prints made at a local print shop.

Unless you offer prints you purchased from a printing service, offering several different sizes might be in your best interest.

The only thing you will want to consider is offering sizes that can fit in standard frames.

Standard fine art print sizes:

• 5 x 7
• 6 x 8
• 8×10
• 10×10
• 12×12
• 12×16
• 14×14
• 12×18
• 16×16
• 16×20

UK Dimensions:

1. A0
2. A1
3. A2
4. A3
5. A4
6. A5
7. A6

Selling Art At Craft Fairs

Selling art prints at craft fairs is different from selling prints on Printful because you will have to invest in prints to display at your local craft fair.

I always offer a few different sizes when I attended a craft fair.

The sizes I offer at craft fairs:

• 5 x 7
• 8×10
• 12×16

These sizes seem to please the majority of the people.

I also offer greeting cards. Greeting cards always do well for me at the shows. 

Selling Art Prints

There are a few different things you will want to consider when you are selling prints of your art online and offline.

The first thing you will want to decide is whether you will sell giclee prints, limited edition prints, or open edition prints.

Next, you will want to come up with a pricing strategy.

The third step is deciding if you will use a fine art printer at home, sell prints on a print-on-demand platform, or get copies made at a local printing service.

The last step is to market your prints on social media, newsletters, and blog posts. Create beautiful social media images with Canva.

Final Thoughts on Art Print Sizes

Offering multiple sizes of fine art prints will be more appealing to a broader audience however if you are selling giclee prints at an art show you will have to decide what size prints to display.

If a person is inquiring about different sizes you can always send them to your print-on-demand shop.
