For centuries, master painters have used the grid method to achieve flawless accuracy. Now this powerful technique is available to you — completely free.
Break complex images into manageable sections. Focus on one cell at a time instead of feeling overwhelmed by the whole picture.
Transfer a tiny sketch to a massive mural or shrink a photo to a miniature painting — all while keeping perfect proportions.
The grid method isn't just a crutch — it actively teaches you to see shapes, angles, and relationships like a professional artist.
Upload your reference photo and apply a grid overlay with your preferred number of rows and columns.
Draw the same grid on your canvas or paper using the measurements provided in the transfer guide.
Copy the contents of each cell one at a time. Use the letter-number labels (A1, B2, etc.) to stay organized.
Erase the grid lines when finished to reveal your accurately proportioned artwork!
Perfect for pencil, charcoal, oil, acrylic, and watercolor work on any surface.
Use gridded references on a second screen while working in Procreate or Photoshop.
Build foundational skills in proportion and observation that last a lifetime.
Create custom worksheets and demonstrations for classes of any skill level.
Convert images to patterns for cross-stitch, knitting, and pixel art projects.
Scale small designs to wall-sized masterpieces with mathematical precision.
Analyze composition and learn the rule of thirds with visual grid overlays.
Create battle maps and tactical grids for tabletop RPGs like D&D.

Grid Maker supports all common image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Maximum file size is 50MB to ensure smooth performance.

The markers (A, B, C... and 1, 2, 3...) help you identify each cell. When drawing your grid on paper, label it the same way so you can easily match cell A1 on the reference to cell A1 on your canvas.
