Origami Calculators

Free origami calculators: paper size for any model size, crease count estimator, folding angle dimensions, and sheet ratio guides.

Paper Folds to Thickness Calculator

Calculate the theoretical thickness of paper after N folds. Doubling formula 2^n shows why no one folds paper more than 7-8 times by hand.

Origami Paper GSM to Thickness Calculator

Convert paper GSM to thickness in mm or mils for origami. Enter weight and paper type to get caliper, suitability, and recommended fold count for projects.

Origami Square from Rectangle Calculator

Calculate the largest square from a rectangular sheet, plus how many same-size squares one sheet yields. Turn printer paper into origami without waste.

Modular Origami Unit Count Calculator

Calculate paper units for Sonobe, PHiZZ, Kusudama, and other modular origami polyhedra. Returns unit count, sheet requirements, and assembly difficulty rating.

Origami Crease Pattern Fold Count Calculator

Estimate the crease count plus mountain and valley folds in an origami model from its base and shaping steps: preliminary, waterbomb, bird, frog, box pleat.

Origami Paper Size Calculator

Calculate the square of paper an origami model needs from the finished size you want, using folding ratios for four complexity tiers, and the nearest kami size.

Origami Tessellation Grid Calculator

Calculate grid divisions, minimum paper size, and pre-crease count for origami tessellations. Covers triangle, square, and hex grids for flat and 3D folds.

Wet Folding Paper Weight Calculator

Calculate ideal paper weight in GSM and water-to-paper ratio for wet folding origami. Covers animal and sculptural models with drying time guidance.
