Grid Maker: Drawing Reference
Add grid to image & sketch
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Draw from your own photos, one square at a time. Adjust your grid and focus on details. Pro adds canvas sizing, value studies, progress comparison and PDF export.
Draw from photos with better proportions. Grid Maker adds an adjustable drawing grid to your reference so you can transfer shapes to paper, one square at a time.
From a portrait sketch to a painting on canvas, break a complex image into smaller, easier-to-study sections. Keep your reference beside you while you draw.
START WITH THE FREE TOOLS
• Import your own image from Photos or Files, or capture a reference with the camera.
• Adjust rows, columns, line color, thickness and opacity. Add and manage grid overlays.
• Zoom into a cell, subdivide it for details and mark finished cells. Labels such as A1 help you keep your place.
• Add freehand annotations, sample colors and use composition guides.
• Save up to 3 projects and share your reference as a PNG, with or without the grid.
