1 cm Graph Paper: Printable A4 and Letter PDF
One-centimetre graph paper gives a large, easy-to-count grid for maths activities, charts and classroom drawing. In the editor, set grid spacing to 10 mm and choose A4 or Letter before exporting.
Set 10 mm spacing
One centimetre equals 10 millimetres. Enter 10 mm as the grid spacing, then use a light line colour if you need handwriting or pencil marks to remain prominent.
A4 and Letter are not interchangeable
A4 is 210 × 297 mm while US Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches. Choose the paper that is loaded in your printer so the grid is not scaled unexpectedly.
Check the first print
Measure a few squares with a ruler after the first print. If they are not 1 cm, turn off printer scaling and print again at 100%.
Make your own version
Start from the matching template, preview it, then export a print-ready PDF.
