Sectora
Create with Ease
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lay a grid over any photo and draw it cell by cell. Now with square cells, cell names, and Mosaic and Squint for seeing color and shape. Free and offline.
Sectora lays a grid over your picture, so you can draw it on paper cell by cell.
Choose a photo, crop it, set the grid the way you like it, and keep the picture beside you while you draw. Or save it and print it.
THE GRID
• Choose how many cells you want
• Square cells, so every cell is the same shape on your paper
• Diagonals, for angles and curves
• Cell names — A1, B2 — to help you keep your place
• Light or dark lines, as thin or as thick as you need
• The proportion of your picture is shown, so your paper can match it and nothing stretches
BEFORE YOU DRAW
Mosaic shows the picture as squares of color. Colors are easier to compare when they sit side by side, without the detail.
Squint blurs the picture, as if you half-close your eyes. The details go, the large shapes stay, and you can see whether the composition holds.
Touch and hold the picture at any time to see the original.
SAVING
Save the picture with its grid to Photos at full size, or share it with another app. Pinch to zoom, double-tap to fit.
Sectora is useful for portraits, landscapes, still life, copies of paintings, and murals — any time you want to keep the proportions of the original.
For iPhone and iPad.
Free. No subscription, no purchases, no account. It works offline, and your pictures stay on your device: nothing is uploaded anywhere.

A new look and a simpler app.
NEW DESIGN
Sectora has been redrawn: light, calm and easy to read, with every control where you expect it. One screen for everything, on iPhone and iPad, in both orientations.
A BETTER GRID
• Square cells, so every cell is the same shape on your paper
• Cell names (A1, B2…) to help you keep your place
• Cleaner lines, in light or dark, with adjustable thickness
• The proportion of your picture is shown, so your paper can match it
MOSAIC AND SQUINT
Mosaic shows the picture as squares of color. Squint blurs it so you see the large shapes. Touch and hold the picture to see the original.
ALSO NEW
• Pictures open faster
• Crop again at any time, without starting over
• Share your picture, not only save it
• Pinch to zoom, double-tap to fit
• Saving to Photos now asks for permission properly and tells you when it is done
• Cropping now matches the rest of the app instead of turning dark
Free, works offline, and your pictures stay on your device.
