Pixel grid questions
FAQ
What grid size is best for pixel art on A4 paper?
16x16 is the safest starting point for classic game sprites. Use 8x8 for tiny icons, 24x24 for larger characters, and 32x32 when you need more detail.
Can I print this at the exact grid size?
Yes. Open the PDF and print at Actual Size or 100% scale. Avoid Fit to Page because it can shrink the grid.
Is this different from normal graph paper?
Yes. Normal graph paper is measured by physical spacing such as 5mm. Pixel art paper is usually chosen by canvas size, such as 16x16 or 32x32.
