FAQ
What line spacing should I use?
The default is 8 mm. Use 9β10 mm for younger children with larger handwriting and 7β8 mm for secondary and above. For English, keep at least 8 mm because letters have ascenders and descenders.
What is the margin rule?
A vertical red line on the left marking where writing starts, inherited from traditional letter paper. Switch it off with "Left margin rule", or use "Binding margin" in the common settings to leave room for hole punching.
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 β 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. Lined 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.
