Graph Paper Generator

Choose a paper type, the spacing between lines (in inches or millimeters), the page size and a line color, then print it or download it as a sharp SVG file. Bold lines every few squares make counting easier.

How to print graph paper

1. Pick the paper type, size and spacing.
2. Press Print. In the print dialog set scale to 100% (“actual size”) and margins to none or minimum so the squares stay exact.
3. Or download the SVG to print later or import into other apps.

Common spacings

Which paper for which job

• Square grid: graphs, area models, long division alignment.
• Axes: plotting points and lines.
• Dot and isometric: geometry and 3-D sketches.
• Polar: polar coordinates and angles.
