A better fit on paper

Graph paper sized for the job

GridKite keeps the selected spacing in physical units. Complete squares are centered inside your margins instead of being stretched to fill the page. That makes the PDF useful for plotting, sketches, math practice, and layouts where a predictable scale matters.

How to print an accurate grid

  1. Choose US Letter or A4 and the orientation you need.
  2. Select a preset grid or enter a custom spacing.
  3. Download the PDF and print at Actual size or 100%.

Printer margins and calibration vary. Measure a few squares after printing when the paper will be used as a physical scale.

Quick answers

Graph paper FAQ

Is 1/4 inch graph paper the same as 5 mm paper?

No. A quarter inch is exactly 6.35 mm. Choose 5 mm when you need a metric grid and 1/4 inch when you need the larger imperial grid.

Which paper size should I choose?

US Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches and is common in the United States and Canada. A4 is 210 × 297 mm and is common in most other countries. Choose the size your printer is loaded with.

Why does the grid look smaller on my screen?

The preview scales to fit the browser. The downloaded PDF stores the selected spacing in PDF points, so use Actual size or 100% in the print dialog.
