Your note app comes with a few built-in papers, and none of them are quite right. The line spacing is off, the grid squares are the wrong size, there's no dark page for writing at night, and the template packs sold online come in sizes that don't fit your screen. Paper Maker makes the paper itself. Pick a template, set the size and spacing, choose your colors, and save a clean PDF to Files, your note app, or a printer. Pages are drawn as vector lines, so they stay sharp at any zoom and the files stay small. PICK A TEMPLATE Lined paper in wide, narrow, or college ruled spacing. Graph paper with the square size you choose. Dot grid for bullet journals and sketching. Cornell pages with the cue column and summary space already laid out. MAKE IT YOURS Page size for iPad note apps (4:3), A4, or US Letter. Portrait or landscape. Line and dot spacing from 2 to 15 mm, in half-millimeter steps. Line color, paper color, and dark pages for writing at night. Set the page margin and how many pages the file should have. SAVE IT ANYWHERE Export goes through the iOS share sheet, so the PDF goes wherever you write: Files, your note app, email, or a printer. ASKS FOR NOTHING No account, no sign-up, no permissions. Paper Maker never asks for your camera, photos, or microphone. You make and export paper offline, and your pages are never uploaded anywhere. WHY PAPER MAKER - Vector PDF pages that stay sharp at any zoom - Multi-page files, up to 50 pages at once - Dark paper that's easy to read at night - Collects nothing - No third-party ads Paper Maker is free, and nothing in it is locked behind a purchase. Need to add writing room to a PDF you already have, like a worksheet or a slide deck? That's our other app, PagePrep. Paper Maker makes new paper; PagePrep preps the documents you already own.
