# Choosing a comic size

When you create a series or a standalone issue, you pick a **size** that defines the page aspect ratio. You can't change the size of an existing issue once pages have been generated, so pick deliberately.

## The four sizes

**Standard** — the classic American comic-book proportion (roughly 2:3, taller than wide). Best for superhero, sci-fi, and action stories. This is the default if you're not sure.

**Manga** — Japanese manga proportion (also taller than wide, but slightly different aspect). Pairs well with the Manga and Manhwa art styles. Reads right-to-left when you want it to (configure in the reader).

**Graphic novel** — wider, more cinematic page proportions, suited for longer-form storytelling and prestige formats. Good for slice-of-life, drama, and atmospheric stories.

**Webcomic** — vertical scroll-friendly proportions, optimized for reading on a phone. Each "page" is a tall single column. Great for Webtoon-style stories.

## How size interacts with art style

You can pair any [art style](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/choosing-an-art-style-2ctuxj/) with any size — manga style on standard pages, manhwa on webcomic, watercolor on graphic novel. Size controls the page shape; style controls the visual feel.

## When to pick each

- **Telling a Western superhero / sci-fi / action story?** → Standard.
- **Reading on a phone, vertical scroll?** → Webcomic.
- **Long, atmospheric story you'd put in a real book?** → Graphic novel.
- **Manga or manhwa story for traditional reading?** → Manga.

## Print-quality note

Generated pages are sized for screen reading. If you're planning to print, you may need to upscale the images at print time — they're roughly 2K resolution, which works for digital but is tight for high-DPI print. Most users read on screen, so this rarely matters.
