Frequently asked questions

How do I print graph paper at the correct size?

Download the PDF and print it at "Actual size" or "100%". If your print dialog is set to "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages", the grid will be scaled down slightly.

What is the most common graph paper size?

In the US the most common grid is 1/4 inch (4 squares per inch), often called quad paper. Outside the US, 5 mm squares on A4 paper are the standard.

Is this graph paper free to use?

Yes. You can print as many copies as you like for school, work or personal projects.

Can I make graph paper with thicker lines every few squares?

Yes. Set "Bold line every" to 5 or 10 squares. This makes it much easier to count squares and read coordinates.
