About graph paper
Graph paper provides a uniform grid of squares that makes it easy to plot points, draw straight lines, and keep your drawings to scale. The 5mm metric grid we use is the most common international standard and is ideal for graphing equations, sketching floor plans, designing cross-stitch patterns, and writing music by hand.
Use the generator to pick a paper size, then customize the line color and weight. The output is a true vector PDF, so the grid stays sharp at any zoom level.
Common uses
- Graphing math functions and data
- Engineering sketches and diagrams
- Architectural floor plans and elevations
- Cross-stitch and embroidery patterns
- Tiling and tessellation drawings
- Game design and tabletop RPG maps
Common questions
Graph paper (also called grid paper) is used for math, engineering, architecture, data visualization, and any drawing that benefits from straight lines or precise measurements. The grid lets you plot points, draw functions, or sketch diagrams to scale.
Our generator renders a 5mm metric grid, which is the international standard. This works well for most math, engineering, and design applications. For different grid sizes, generate the lined template with custom spacing.
