How it works

1

Pick the grid

Choose a spacing preset or enter your own, set how often a bold line appears and switch on the medium line for classic millimeter paper.

2

Style the page

Pick the line color and weights, paper size, orientation and margins. Add a border, header fields or a spacing label.

3

Download and print

Download the PDF (up to 50 pages at once) or an SVG. Print at 100% — do not scale to fit — and the cells measure exactly.

Plotting charts and functions, drawing floor plans and technical sketches to scale, pixel art, knitting and cross-stitch charts, and keeping handwriting and calculations aligned.

5 mm or 1/4" is the common quad-ruled paper for notes and school work; 1 mm millimeter paper is for precise plots and drawings; 1/10" is used for engineering and scientific graphs.
