FAQ

What is the writing order?

Start in the rightmost column, write downwards, then move one column to the left — the traditional vertical order. The generator lays out the cells in exactly that order, so you can print and write straight away.

Can I remove the decorative border?

Yes. Turn off "Decorative double border" for a plain sheet. When enabled, a double border is inset around the page and its colour can be set separately (gold by default).

Why are the printed dimensions wrong?

If your print dialogue has "Fit to page" enabled or scaling below 100%, the whole grid is scaled down. Set scaling to 100% / "Actual size", and tick the calibration ruler in the generator, then measure the 5 cm mark with a ruler. PDF dimensions are locked in the file, so they are the safest option.

Should I choose PDF, PNG or SVG?

Use PDF for printing and millimetre accuracy, PNG for documents and web sharing, and SVG for vector editing. Templates with Chinese tracing characters are exported as high-resolution raster PDFs so the glyphs stay intact; for vector-quality tracing, use "Print → Save as PDF".

Can I change the page size, colours and line weight?

Yes. The common settings cover page size (A4 / A5 / B5 / 16K / Letter / custom), orientation, margins, binding margin, background colour, page numbers, watermark and logo. Calligraphy Paper also has its own options in the "Template settings" panel.

Does anything I type or upload get sent to a server?

No. Generation, preview and export all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
