Free graph paper templates
All the printable graph paper templates this site generates — eight square sizes, colour and paper variants, and dedicated sheets for pixel art, knitting, D&D maps and architecture.
The templates you can generate
Every template here is generated as a print-ready PDF, no signup and no watermark. Each size has its own page with the exact grid dimensions and what it is normally used for.
| Template | Square | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mm | 2 × 2 mm | Dense plotting, fine drafting, detailed charts |
| 5 mm | 5 × 5 mm | The metric school and notebook standard |
| 1 cm | 10 × 10 mm | Coordinate geometry, large clear plotting |
| 1/8 inch | 3.18 × 3.18 mm | Cross stitch, pixel art, bead patterns |
| 1/4 inch | 6.35 × 6.35 mm | Quad paper, the US classroom default |
| 1/2 inch | 12.7 × 12.7 mm | Young learners, rough sketching |
| 1 inch | 25.4 × 25.4 mm | Floor plans and room layouts at scale |
| 10 per inch | 2.54 × 2.54 mm | Engineering computation, precision work |
Colour and paper variants
Beyond the square size, every template can be tuned before you download it. These variants are built into the generator on each page.
Line colour
Blue, green, grey, black or red. Every page also has dedicated black-background and cream-coloured variants for low-ink or low-glare printing.
Paper size
A4, Letter, A5, A3, Legal or Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Dedicated pages exist for A3, Legal and Tabloid.
Heavy lines
Set a heavy line every 5 or 10 squares to mark major divisions — handy for centimetre blocks, inch blocks or chart regions.
Copies
Print 1–25 identical sheets from a single PDF, and save your settings as a preset to reuse later.

Questions about the templates
Are the templates really free?
Yes. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many sheets you generate or print.
Can I get a size that is not listed?
Yes. Type any number into the custom size field on any template page and switch between millimetres and inches. The sheet rebuilds as you type.
Why is every square size on its own page?
So each size can show its exact grid dimensions, what it is normally used for and the sizes it is easily confused with — all with a sheet pre-set to that size.
