RuledPaperAbout RuledPaper and who runs it
RuledPaper makes free printable paper: 44 templates you can set to your own measurements and print at home, at school or at work.
What the site does
Most people who search for printable paper need something a shop notebook does not offer: handwriting lines sized for one particular grade, graph paper with a bold line every centimetre, a 5 mm dot grid in A5 for a planner, staff paper with fewer and larger staves for a beginner, or a sheet of blank sudoku grids for a long train trip. RuledPaper draws each of these from exact measurements. You choose the spacing in millimetres or inches, the paper size, the colours and the number of pages, and the generator builds a vector PDF in your browser that prints sharply on any printer.
The address ruledpaper.net hosted a lined paper generator for more than ten years. The old site went offline when its domain lapsed in early 2026. We rebuilt it from scratch with the same page addresses, so bookmarks and links that people made over the years work again, and added many more paper types, standard presets and accessible controls.
How the templates are made
Every template is generated from code rather than scanned, which is why the lines stay crisp when you zoom in or print on large paper. Standard rulings, such as college ruled (9/32 inch) and wide ruled (11/32 inch), and the ISO and US paper sizes are taken from published standards and reference sources, which we list on each page and on the how we measure page. Our automated tests check that every template stays inside the printable page on Letter, A4 and A5 in both orientations.
How we write the guides
The blog explains rulings, paper sizes, handwriting practice, bullet journal layouts, calligraphy slants and printing at true scale. Every article links to the sources it relies on. When we get something wrong, we correct the article and note the change. If you spot a mistake, tell us.
Who is behind it
RuledPaper is run by Scentro. The templates are free to use for personal, classroom and commercial printing; the site is paid for by advertising, explained in our advertising disclosure. You can reach us at hello@ruledpaper.net.
