Free, ad-free online grid tool for artists to easily apply the grid method to any image



Design Grid Maker is a free online tool that helps artists transfer proportions accurately using the classic grid drawing method. Users upload a reference photo, divide it into equal squares, and draw square-by-square on their canvas. The tool runs entirely in the browser with no signup required, and all image processing happens locally on the user's device—ideal for privacy-conscious artists. Customizable grid density, line color, opacity, and cell labels (e.g., A1, B2) allow for precise control, and the final grid overlay can be exported as PNG or JPG at full resolution. The site also offers a Grid Method Guide for beginners and related tools like an Aspect Ratio Calculator and Instagram Grid Maker.
