Built by Artists, for Artists
Grid Maker Pro was born from a simple belief: precision drawing tools should be accessible, intuitive, and crafted with the needs of real artists in mind.
The Origin Story
From a frustrated art student to a tool used by thousands of artists worldwide
A Problem Worth Solving
In 2019, Sarah Chen was a third-year art student struggling with proportion accuracy in her portrait work. Like many artists before her, she turned to the grid method—but the process was frustrating.
Rulers, pencils, measuring, erasing, remeasuring. Hours spent just setting up the grid before even starting to draw. There had to be a better way.
One late night in her studio, Sarah had an idea: what if creating perfect grids could be instant? What if artists could focus on their art instead of the math?
"I built Grid Maker Pro out of necessity. I needed it for my own work, and I knew thousands of other artists did too. Every feature we add is something I wished I had when I was learning."
— Sarah Chen, Founder & Lead DeveloperFrom Sketch to Reality
Sarah taught herself to code between classes, building the first version of Grid Maker Pro in her dorm room. She shared it with her classmates, who shared it with their friends. Within months, artists from around the world were using it.
What started as a simple grid generator evolved based on real artist feedback. Custom ratios, diagonal lines, reference overlays, printable templates—every feature came from listening to what artists actually needed.
Today, Grid Maker Pro is used by art students, professional illustrators, hobbyists, and educators in over 150 countries. But the mission remains the same: make precision drawing accessible to everyone.
