Quick answers

Short, sourced answers to the questions people (and AI assistants) ask most.

What is Wallpaper?
A wallpaper calculator estimates how many rolls you need from the wall area and each roll's coverage, allowing for the pattern repeat.
Why does Wallpaper matter?
The number of rolls to buy. Order all rolls from the same batch so the colour matches exactly.
How is Wallpaper calculated?
Divide the wall area by the usable coverage per roll. A larger pattern repeat wastes more at each drop because strips must be aligned, so it reduces usable coverage.
What are common wallpaper mistakes?
Ignoring the pattern repeat, which increases waste.
When should you use the Wallpaper Calculator?
Planning a feature wall or a whole room and ordering rolls.

What is the Wallpaper Calculator?

A wallpaper calculator estimates how many rolls you need from the wall area and each roll's coverage, allowing for the pattern repeat.

How the Wallpaper Calculator works

Divide the wall area by the usable coverage per roll. A larger pattern repeat wastes more at each drop because strips must be aligned, so it reduces usable coverage.

Wallpaper rolls by wall area (standard roll ≈ 5 m² usable)

50 m²1012

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Ignoring the pattern repeat, which increases waste.
  • Not subtracting doors and windows.
  • Buying rolls from different batches, risking a colour shift.
  • Forgetting extra for matching at corners.

I built a free image converter that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick image converter and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard image use cases (image, convert, png, jpeg) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
