Prepare classroom drawing exercises without sending images to a server.
Create a blank grid for composition studies and value thumbnails.
Questions
Grid tool details
Does the image get uploaded?
No. The grid preview is rendered with browser canvas, so your selected photo stays on your device.
Can I print the grid?
Yes. Download the PNG and print it from your browser or image viewer. Use square cells, labels, and grayscale when you need a clean drawing reference.
Can I use it without a photo?
Yes. Turn on Blank grid to create a plain grid sheet for composition studies, classroom handouts, or drawing practice.
Is this a photo collage maker?
No. These pages focus on adding grid lines to one image for drawing, layout, and printable reference work.
