Graph Paper Generator

Sheet Setup

Build printable graph paper with fixed template families, then export a vector PDF for clean printing.

Import Settings

Ready. Print at 100% scale for the intended spacing.

X min X max Y min Y max

First-quadrant XY uses the entered min and max values directly. Centered XY is normalized to symmetric extents about zero so the centered axes remain true X/Y axes.

Include a scale note on the exported sheet

Per interval Unit

Scale is interpreted against one minor interval. Orthogonal templates also report the implied square-box area.

Export Notes

PDF export is vector-based, so lines and dots stay crisp when printed.
Printer dialogs should use actual size or 100% scaling if physical spacing matters.
Margins define the printable graph area, not a forced printer-safe hardware margin.

Live Preview

Preview uses the same geometry as the exported PDF, with a dashed printable-area guide.

Cartesian grid

Letter portrait

A 5 mm grid is only 5 mm if you print it at 100%. The PDF carries true physical spacing, but "fit to page", "shrink oversized pages" and borderless printing all rescale it, and most print dialogs default to one of them. Check the first sheet against a ruler before measuring anything off it, and do not use printed squares as a dimensional reference for drafting, machining or any measurement that matters.
