A5 vs A4 Diaries and Planners: Choose a Size | Valenna

A5 vs A4 Diaries and Planners (A6 No Longer Offered)

Choose A5 for the best all-round balance and A4 for detailed desk planning. If unsure, choose A5. A6 has been discontinued across all Valenna products, so A5 is now the most compact diary and planner size.

📏 The two sizes

SizeDimensionsBest for
A5148 × 210 mmEveryday work, study, personal planning and carrying in a bag
A4210 × 297 mmLarge handwriting, detailed schedules and desk use
ℹ️ Good to know: not every diary or planner is available in every size. The product page lists the sizes for that design.

🧭 Matching size to habit

  • It lives in a work bag and on a desk, or you carry it every day: A5.
  • It stays open on a desk next to a laptop: A4.

Page count and cover weight change the thickness, so see 100 vs 150 vs 250 pages and planner covers.

❓ Frequently asked questions
