Discussion summary
A user created a free, browser-based graph paper generator that renders true-to-scale vector PDFs without login or watermarks. The tool has been well-received for its simplicity and utility, with suggestions for additional features like SVG export and more graph types.
What the discussion says
- Users appreciate the no-login, free, true-to-scale PDF generation.
- Some suggest adding SVG export for plotter use.
- Others request more graph types like log scales and Smith charts.
“This is incredible, thanks for building this!”
“Nice design, good utility, and kept it simple.”

- Any chance that a pentagon pattern could be added?by Topology1
- I love this. Any chance of having this be a downloadable application somehow?by asibahi
- Nice. I remember writing a PostScript graph paper generator when we got our first LaserWriters back in 1985.by relium
- I have checked your app. The idea is great, but I feel the log-log plots and some scientific and engineering sheets will be helpful. By the way great work.by riponcm
- Very cool.
However, on Safari, in the Mac, I don't see any graph on the first two (standard North-South/East-West graph).
I do see the isometric and hexagonal ones, though. Maybe the lines are too thin/light.
- Bug in the "Draw on Graph Paper"/virtual graph paper? Change the grid to hexagon and make sure "snap to grid" is checked. Still snaps to the original square grid.
- This is a nice sharply pointed tool. Thanks for the nice supply of pre configured styles!by smalltorch
- Although I don't personally use graph paper much, this project looks great. I find many of the example pattern previews very hard to see, though. I'd darken and/or thicken the lines. The descriptions underneath are good, but there are a lot of patterns that are unfamiliar to me that I'd like to be able to preview better, like Cross Stitch and Knitting.by timpark
