• Layout grid generator (PNG and SVG)

  Set the format, margins, columns, rows and baseline grid, and download the grid as a transparent PNG or a full-size SVG for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

• Converter for mm, cm, inches, points and pixels (ppi)

  Convert sizes between millimetres, centimetres, inches, points and pixels, find how many pixels a print needs, and what resolution an image has when printed at a given size.

• A and B paper sizes (ISO 216) in mm, inches, points and pixels

  Every A0–A10 and B0–B10 size of ISO 216 and the US 8½ × 11 inch size, portrait or landscape, in millimetres, centimetres, inches, points and pixels at a resolution you choose, with a link to the layout grid generator.

• Folded leaflets: panel widths and a fold template

  Work out the panels of a half, zigzag, roll or gate fold leaflet, with the shortening your printer gives, and download SVG templates of the inside and outside with fold lines and bleed.

• Book spine width and cover template

  Work out the spine width from the page count and the paper thickness your printer gives, and download an SVG cover template with back, spine, front and bleed.

• Type scale and line spacing, also on a baseline grid

  Work out harmonious type sizes from a body size and a ratio, with the line spacing for each, rounded to a baseline grid if you like, and copy the values as CSS.

• Colour contrast checker (WCAG 2.2)

  Work out the contrast ratio between text and background colour with the WCAG 2.2 formula and see which success criteria (1.4.3, 1.4.6, 1.4.11) are met.
