What is graph paper? Graph paper (grid or squared paper) is a sheet printed with evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines that form a regular square grid for plotting, drawing, and measuring.
How to make graph paper: Choose cell size (for example 5 mm or ¼ inch), line color and weight, paper size, and margins, preview the grid, then download a PDF to print at 100% scale.
About Graph Paper
Graph paper (also known as grid paper or squared paper) is writing paper that is printed with fine lines arranged in a regular grid. The lines are often used as guides for plotting graphs of functions or experimental data, drawing diagrams, or designing layouts.
Common Uses
- Mathematics: plotting graphs, geometric constructions
- Engineering: technical drawings, circuit diagrams
- Science: recording experimental data, lab reports
- Art: pixel art, cross-stitch patterns, architectural sketches
- Education: teaching coordinates and geometry
Standard Grid Sizes
The most common grid sizes are 1mm, 2mm, 5mm, and 10mm for metric paper, and 1/4 inch (quad) or 1/5 inch (engineering) for US paper. See the full graph paper sizes chart (mm and inch) for conversions and printable links. Our generator lets you choose any cell size from 1mm to 20mm.
