Pick a layout

6 panels (2 × 3): the classic page, easy to read and to draw.
9 panels (3 × 3): tight pacing and small moments.
4 panels and 3 strips: room for detailed drawings or a short gag.
Splash and mixed tiers: a big panel for the important moment, smaller ones around it.

Tips for making a comic

Write the script page by page, deciding what happens in each panel.
Sketch in pencil, leaving room for speech balloons; place them so they are read left to right, top to bottom.
Ink over the pencil, then erase.

Print on Tabloid (11 × 17 in) or A3 for larger artwork. Planning a video instead? Use the storyboard template.

Print at 100% (Actual size), not Fit to page, so squares and line spacing keep their exact size.
Light lines (gray or light blue) are easy to write over and fade into the background of a scan or photo; use darker lines for drawing practice or when the paper will be photocopied.
Need a stack? Set the number of pages and print the PDF once, or print one page and photocopy it.
Thicker paper (24 to 32 lb or 90 to 120 gsm) takes ink pens and markers without bleeding through.

What is a gutter?

The white space between panels. Narrow gutters feel continuous; wide ones slow the reader down.

Can I print bigger pages?

Yes. Choose Tabloid or A3 if your printer takes it.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no limit on pages. The site is paid for by ads.
