Start with paper

Find a template by name or category. Use it for the first section or add it with +. Choose size, orientation and margins. Mix different paper types in one book.

Adjust your lines

Each section has its own colour, width, spacing and line style. Suggested spacing provides a starting value. Set columns for column notes and storyboards, slant for calligraphy, and one or two perspective points. Fill to margins slightly adjusts basic grid spacing.

Choose an export

PDF includes the entire book and index links. SVG keeps vector lines; covers, indexes and custom images remain images. PNG uses 150 dpi. SVG and PNG export one preview page or a ZIP of all pages. DOCX contains the whole book as page images, not editable Word lines. Image exports allow up to 60 pages and 80 million pixels.

Save and print

Export JSON settings to continue later. There is no automatic saving: refreshing loses an unsaved design. Print PDF at 100% actual size. Specialist writing and music grids are general practice variants; check the school or instrument dimensions you need.

Print at 100% / actual size.

Print at 100% or actual size. Select the same paper size in your printer as in the PDF. Check one page before printing the whole notebook.

Questions about printable paper and notebook PDFs

How do I create 5 mm graph paper?

Select Squared as the paper type and set spacing to 5 mm. Choose your paper size, adjust the margins and download the PDF. Spacing sets the distance between the grid lines.

Can I print paper without a cover?

Yes. Turn off the cover, choose the page count and download your PDF. Print at 100% or actual size, without fitting to the page, to keep the grid at its chosen scale.

Can I fill in a blank index later?

Yes. Choose Blank lines or Blank boxes under Index. Adjust the row height and add extra rows. Section rows keep their starting page and link; you fill in the extra rows yourself.

How do I save a design for later?

Use Export settings. The file includes your paper settings, sections and images. Import it later to continue editing. The generator makes your PDF locally; Google Analytics is optional and requires consent.
