GraphPaper
browser based graphpaper canvas for delightful sketching
GraphPaper is a free browser based graphpaper canvas for sketching diagrams, geometry, and notes, with grid snapping, shapes, curves, arrows, and fills. Also a half-decent SVG editor: import, edit, and export SVG. No sign-up.
The zero-friction approach here is really refreshing, just open and start drawing without an account or popup. The grid snapping with shape tools feels like it was built by someone who actually sketches on graph paper regularly.
Love how the grid snapping just works without you having to think about it, and importing an SVG straight into the same canvas feels like such a natural choice instead of two separate apps.
Does grid snapping stay locked to the underlying canvas when you import an existing SVG, or do imported elements ignore the grid until you move them?
The no sign-up, just open it and start drawing approach is so refreshing. Grid snapping combined with proper shape tools in the browser usually means compromises somewhere, but this feels thoughtfully built.
how does the grid snapping behave when i paste in an existing svg, does it auto-fit the grid or just snap individual nodes?
Snapping to the grid made my rough sketch actually look clean, and exporting straight to SVG is a nice touch for a no-signup tool.
Does the grid snapping stay on if I switch between the shapes and the freehand pen tool, or do I have to toggle it separately each time?
Grid snapping actually feels right, which is rarer than it should be for free tools. The half-decent SVG editor is underselling it, I imported a file and was drawing new shapes over it in under a minute.
How well does the grid snapping hold up when you're zoomed in pretty far and working on detailed geometry?
Snapping to the grid while sketching a quick flow diagram felt really natural, and being able to import an SVG and tweak it without signing up is a nice bonus.
Snapped a quick floor plan and the grid snapping actually behaved like I expected, which never happens. The SVG export was a nice bonus, saved me a trip to Illustrator for a tiny edit.
The grid snapping feels really well tuned — it holds just tight enough to keep sketches aligned without fighting you on freehand strokes. Love that it opens straight in the browser with zero friction.
Love that this works right in the browser with no sign-up. One thing that would make it way more useful for me: let me lock certain shapes or layers so I can build up a diagram without accidentally moving the stuff underneath while I'm still tweaking other parts.
The no-sign-up, just-open-it approach feels refreshingly honest, and grid snapping actually snapping feels like a small miracle after years of fighting Illustrator's stubborn guides.
Love that it runs in the browser with no sign-up, and the grid snapping is really handy for geometry work. One thing I'd love to see is keyboard shortcuts for the shape tools (rectangle, circle, line) so I can sketch without breaking flow to click the toolbar every time.
Does the grid snapping stay consistent when I zoom in and out, or does it get weird at higher zoom levels? Also curious if there's any way to share a canvas with someone for live collaboration.
How does the SVG export handle complex paths or groups, and is there any plan to add layering or grouping features to make editing larger diagrams easier?
