Generate printable graph paper in seconds.

Quick answer: which grid size should I choose?

Pick a grid size that matches your task. Smaller squares help with detail, while larger squares give you more writing room.

• 5 mm is great for detailed graphs, geometry, and technical sketches.
• 7 mm gives a balanced layout for class notes and general practice.
• 10 mm works well for younger students and large labels.

How to use this generator

Select your preferred grid size and line style, then download a print ready graph paper PDF. Use bold guide lines to make counting squares faster for plotting or technical sketches.

Add an optional title if you want to label student worksheets or design packs. The PDF prints cleanly on A4 or US Letter paper at 100% scale.

Common uses for graph paper

• Math practice: plotting points, graphing functions, and geometry.
• Design and drafting: product sketches, layouts, and measurements.
• Classroom work: coordinate planes, grids for games, and STEM labs.
• Arts and crafts: pixel art, beading patterns, and quilting plans.

How the generator works

The tool creates a clean grid using your selected square size and line weight, then exports a print ready PDF. You can choose bold guide lines to highlight every fifth square and keep the grid easy to read.

1. Pick your paper size and grid spacing.
2. Toggle bold guides if you want clearer counting.
3. Download the PDF and print at full scale.

Example setup

For most classroom worksheets, try A4 or US Letter with 5 mm squares and bold guide lines. This keeps the grid readable while giving enough room for calculations and labels.

Printing tips

• Print at 100% scale to keep the grid spacing accurate.
• Use light lines for writing and darker lines for drawing graphs.
• Keep bold guides on for easier counting and alignment.
