Printable Periodic Table of the Elements
Free printable periodic table of the elements at exact scale — a clean black-and-white 18-column chart with the atomic number, symbol and atomic mass for all 118 elements, plus the lanthanides and actinides.
This is the classic wall-chart periodic table: all 118 elements laid out in the standard 18-column form, each cell showing the atomic number, the element symbol in bold, and the atomic mass. The lanthanides (57–71) and actinides (89–103) sit in their usual detached block below the main table, with the CAS A/B group labels across the top.
It's drawn in plain black and white so it prints cleanly on any printer and photocopies well, and because it's rendered in real millimetres it prints at exact scale. Landscape on A4 or A3 gives the clearest result; you can also switch off the atomic masses for a simpler revision chart.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
How many elements are included?
All 118 — from hydrogen to oganesson — in the standard 18-column layout, with the lanthanide and actinide series in a separate block beneath the table.
Is it colour or black and white?
Black and white by design, so it prints and photocopies cleanly on any printer without using colour ink.
What size should I print it at?
Landscape A4 is fine for a desk copy; A3 landscape gives a crisp wall chart. It prints at exact scale, so set Scale to 100% and Margins to None.
Can I hide the atomic masses?
Yes — turn off ‘Show atomic mass’ for a cleaner chart showing just the number and symbol, handy for revision.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every template on printsheet.io is completely free, with no sign-up, no account and no watermark. Generate as many sheets as you like.
How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
