pagesized

Pagesized is an adjective used in publishing, printing, and digital document workflows to describe content that is sized to the exact dimensions of a page. A page-sized object has width and height equal to the intended page size, typically with margins or bleed defined separately. The term is most common in print workflows where output must align with standard page formats such as Letter, A4, Legal, or custom sizes.

In publishing and typesetting, pagesized elements ensure predictable pagination and layout during proofing and production. Graphic elements that are page-sized can be scaled with the page or left at native resolution, and they may be prepared with bleed beyond the page edge to allow clean trimming.

In digital documents, a page-sized image or canvas is created to match the target page so that when exported to PDF or printed, content preserves its intended layout without scaling artifacts. In web or CSS contexts, paged media specifications use the concept of a page size at @page; while the term "pagesized" is informal, the principle remains the same: content is prepared to fit a defined page rectangle.

Advantages include accurate printing, consistent margins, and simplified layout; drawbacks include potential wasted space if the page size differs from viewing device, and the need to accommodate bleed, gutters, or non-standard formats.

Variations include "page-sized" and "pagesize" used in documentation or software tooltips; not a formal standard term, but widely understood in publishing and graphic arts.
