Printable dot grid paper
Evenly spaced dots for bullet journals, wireframes and sketchnotes.
About dot grid paper
Dot grid paper keeps the alignment of graph paper without the lines competing with your handwriting or sketches. It is the default for bullet journals, UI wireframes, sketchnotes and any layout work where you want a structure you can ignore.
Choosing a size
A 5 mm dot spacing matches the standard A5 and A4 bullet-journal dot grid. For wireframing on Letter paper, 6.35 mm lines up with quarter-inch increments that are easy to describe to a developer.
Common uses
Bullet journals, UI wireframes, sketchnotes, pattern drafting.
Frequently asked questions
What dot spacing do bullet journals use?
Most A5 bullet journals use a 5 mm dot grid. If you are printing your own refill pages, set 5 mm and match your existing notebook.
What is dot grid paper used for?
Bullet journals, planners, hand lettering, wireframes and sketching. The dots give the same alignment as a grid for boxes, columns and straight lines, but they fade into the background once you draw over them.
Why is dot grid better than graph paper for sketching?
The dots mark alignment without drawing attention, so pencil lines and lettering stay readable. Graph paper lines tend to fight with detailed work.
Can I make larger dot spacing for wireframes?
Yes. 6.35 mm or 8 mm gives fewer, clearer markers, which suits low-fidelity UI sketches and room layouts.
