About This Tool

What is a cutting mat background generator?

This tool draws the classic self-healing cutting mat: the measured grid, numbered rulers, angle guides, and radius arcs, in any surface color you choose. You can match a brand palette, pick a preset, and export the result as an infinitely scalable SVG or a crisp 4K PNG.

Designers use cutting mat backgrounds for product photography mockups, desk-scene thumbnails, portfolio hero images, and video b-roll backdrops. Generating one takes seconds and is free, instead of hunting for a stock photo with the wrong color and a watermark.

How It Works

Three steps, no signup

  1. 01

    Pick a surface color

    Choose a preset or dial in any custom color. The grid and ruler ink adapt to stay legible.

  2. 02

    Tune the grid

    Numbered rulers on all four edges, angle guides at 15, 30, 45, and 60 degrees, and quarter-circle radius arcs.

  3. 03

    Export SVG or 4K PNG

    Download an infinitely scalable SVG for design tools, or a 4K PNG ready for thumbnails and mockups.
