Frequently asked questions

Is Printable Paper Maker free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many pages you make. Everything is generated in your browser.

What kinds of paper can I make?

Lined paper (wide, college and narrow ruled or custom), graph paper (1 mm to 1/2 inch squares), dot grid paper, isometric paper (triangle lines or iso dots), music staff paper and Cornell notes templates.

Will the printed spacing be exact?

The PDF is a vector file drawn at the exact millimetre size of the page, so line spacing is exact when printed at 100% scale. If your print dialog shows Fit to page or Shrink to fit, switch it to Actual size or 100%.

Which paper sizes are supported?

US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Legal (8.5 × 14 in), each in portrait or landscape.

Do you store my settings or files?

Nothing is uploaded. The PDF is built on your device, and your last settings are saved only in your own browser's local storage so they are there next time.

Can I make more than one page at once?

Yes. Set Pages to any number from 1 to 20 and the PDF or print job will contain that many identical sheets.
