If you need a photo on graph paper for a craft project, then you can print it on the paper using your home printer. One might need a photo on graph paper in order to divide the photo into equal dimensions. The grid lines covering the photo will meet this need. You can load graph paper into your printer as long as it fits the same dimensions of standard computer paper -- 8.5 X 11 inches.

Tip
