Tips for Best Results
Get the most out of Grid Maker Pro with these expert tips
Choose the Right Image Quality
Use high-resolution images (300 DPI minimum) if you plan to print. For screen reference, 1920×1080 is plenty. Higher resolution = more detail to work with.
Match Grid Size to Detail Level
Simple subjects: 4×4 to 6×6 grid
Portraits/figures: 8×8 to 10×10 grid
Complex details: 12×12 to 16×16 grid
Pick Contrasting Grid Colors
Light images: Use red, black, or dark blue lines
Dark images: Use white, yellow, or cyan lines
Mixed tones: Red works universally
Use Grid Shortcuts
Don't draw every detail—use grids to establish proportions and key landmarks. Then draw freehand within sections. Grids are guides, not crutches.
Adjust Images Before Gridding
Grid Maker Pro doesn't edit images. Crop, rotate, adjust brightness/contrast in your photo editor first, then add grids. This gives you maximum control.
Create Multiple Versions
Make several gridded versions: one with fine detail grid, one with basic proportions. Start with coarse grid for blocking, then reference fine grid for details.

Absolutely! Grid Maker Pro works on any device with a modern browser—iPhone, iPad, Android phones/tablets, and Chromebooks. The interface adapts to touch controls automatically.
How do I print my gridded images?
Download the gridded image, then print it like any photo. For best results, use matte paper to reduce glare when drawing. The grid is permanently part of the image—no special printer settings needed.
