Image Grid Maker
Add a customizable grid overlay to an image for drawing, layout or alignment reference.
Add a Grid Overlay to an Image
This tool draws evenly spaced horizontal and vertical guide lines over a photo or graphic, creating a downloadable PNG for composition, drawing and alignment reference.
Example
Applying a 10-division grid to a 2000 × 1000 image creates guides every 200 pixels horizontally and every 100 pixels vertically.
Factors That Affect the Result
More divisions create smaller grid cells, while line color affects visibility against the source. Dense grids can obscure fine detail, so choose a division count that matches the task and image dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the grid alter my original file?
No. A new rendered copy is created.
Can I choose the grid color?
Yes. Use the built-in color picker.
Is processing local?
Yes. The overlay is created in your browser.

Using an Image Grid
A grid overlay helps with alignment, composition, proportion checks and manual cropping. Choose spacing that matches the task: larger cells are useful for broad composition, while smaller cells support detailed placement. Export a clean version without the grid when the overlay is only being used as a guide.
Using an Image Grid
A grid overlay can help with alignment, composition, cropping, and consistent spacing. Choose a grid density that supports the task without obscuring the image. For design work, compare key subjects with grid intersections before finalizing the crop.
Technical Method and Practical Limits
A grid overlay provides visual guides at chosen spacing or divisions. Grid lines become part of the exported image unless the tool supports a non-destructive guide layer, so keep an unmodified original when the grid is only needed temporarily.
