Page and layout
- Page sizes: A3, A4, A5, A6, B5, US Letter, US Legal, Tabloid / Ledger and Half Letter, or a custom size from 20 mm to 2 m.
- Orientation: portrait or landscape.
- Margin on all four sides, and a paper colour for tinted sheets.
- Units: switch between millimetres and inches at any time. Visitors in the US, Canada and Mexico start on Letter paper in inches, with a ¼″ grid.
- Header and footer: an optional title, name and date lines, and a small graphlines.com credit you can turn off.
Downloads and printing
| Format | Details |
|---|---|
| Vector, at true physical size. Choose from 1 to 500 pages in one file. | |
| SVG | Vector, sized in millimetres. Open it in Inkscape, Illustrator, Affinity or a laser cutter’s software. |
| PNG | 150, 300 or 600 dpi, with the resolution stored in the file so it prints at the right size. Very large pages are reduced automatically, and you’re told when. |
| Prints straight from your browser with the page size already set. |
Print at 100% or “Actual size”. “Fit to page” shrinks the sheet slightly, so a 5 mm grid would no longer measure 5 mm.
Preview, sharing and saving
- A live preview updates as you change any setting. Switch between Fit and an approximate 1:1 view.
- Copy link puts every setting in the address, so you can bookmark a design or send it to someone.
- Your last settings are remembered in your browser for next time. Reset returns the current paper type to its defaults.
