Helpful sizing guide
What dot spacing should you choose?
A 5 mm gap is the familiar standard for many bullet journals. On screen, that usually feels similar to a 19 or 20 pixel spacing at standard CSS resolution, which is why the Journal preset starts at 20 pixels. Use 12 to 16 pixels for dense technical diagrams, 20 to 28 pixels for notes and planning, or 32 pixels and above for loose sketching and presentation backgrounds.
A practical printing note
Printers can slightly scale a page. For the most predictable spacing, download the A4 or US Letter SVG and print at 100% or “actual size” rather than “fit to page.”
Questions, dotted and crossed
Dot grid generator FAQ
What is dot grid paper?
Dot paper uses evenly spaced points instead of solid horizontal and vertical lines. The dots help you align content while keeping the page visually light.
Can I make printable dot grid paper?
Yes. Select A4 or US Letter at 300 DPI, customize the pattern, and download SVG for the sharpest print result or PNG for broad compatibility.
What spacing is best for a bullet journal?
Five millimeters is the most common spacing. Start with the Journal 5 mm preset and adjust the dot size or color to suit your pen and paper.
Can I use the generated dots as a CSS background?
Yes. The CSS tab creates a seamless radial-gradient pattern with your current dot color, size, opacity and spacing.
Is this dot grid generator online and free?
Yes. It is free to use online, needs no account, adds no watermark and generates every file locally in your browser.
