Grid Maker is a browser-based grid maker online. Upload any picture, add a precise drawing grid, and export a ready-to-use reference for sketching, portraits, product layouts, or teaching. Everything runs in your browser—no install—so you can focus on proportions and composition instead of measuring by hand.
Why Grid Maker
- Upload any picture: Turn reference photos, sketches, and screenshots into guides with clean squares for accurate outlines and compositions.
- Custom grids in seconds: Set rows/columns, adjust line thickness and opacity, switch units, and keep grids consistent across projects.
- Work anywhere: Open it on desktop, tablet, or phone; settings stay with you as you move between devices.
- Smart helpers: Snap to common ratios, preview densities, and compare versions so you stay in a creative flow.
How It Works (Quick Start)
- Upload an image (JPG/PNG/WebP up to 15MB); drag and drop or click to browse.
- Set rows/columns, choose line color/opacity/width, and toggle labels (A1, B2…).
- Pick a paper format (A2/A3/A4/A5, Letter, Legal) or enter custom width/height in mm.
- Preview the overlay, optionally convert to black & white, then download the grid image.
- Use the auto printing guide to mirror line counts and intervals on paper or confirm spacing for digital work.
Key Features
- Browser-based, no install; always the latest version.
- Precision controls for rows, columns, and units; great for portraits, landscapes, products, and thumbnails.
- Save and reuse presets for common canvas sizes, classroom exercises, or client templates.
- Flexible exports (high-res images for digital work, printable references for sketchbooks or canvases).
- Optimized for photo grids and drawing grids; labels for teaching and step-by-step transfers.

Tips for Best Results
- Choose grid density to match your scale: fewer cells for loose sketches, more for detailed work.

- Square mode helps maintain proportions across devices and paper sizes.
- Re-download after changing paper size or line settings to keep guides accurate.
