Put a grid on a photo in 3 steps
- Upload your photo — drag & drop, click to browse, or paste from your clipboard. JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF are supported, and photos up to 4096px are handled smoothly.
- Set your grid — choose rows and columns (or tap a preset like 8×8 or 12×12), pick a line color that contrasts with your photo, and adjust thickness and opacity. Optionally turn on cell labels (A1, B2…) so you never lose your place while drawing.
- Download — export as PNG (best for printing) or JPG. Free downloads go up to 2560px with no watermark.
Need to match the grid to a specific canvas? Pair this with the free grid calculator, and print matching grid paper from the grid paper generator.
FAQ
▸Is this photo grid maker free?
Yes — completely free with no signup, no watermark and no usage limits. Downloads up to 2560px (PNG or JPG) are free forever; only optional professional output features will be paid.
▸What photo formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF. You can drag & drop the file, click to browse, or paste a screenshot straight from your clipboard (Ctrl+V).
▸Can I print the gridded photo?
Yes. Download as PNG for the best print quality and print it at any size. Make sure the number of grid squares matches the grid you drew on your paper.
▸Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — the photo never leaves your device, and nothing is stored once you close the page.
▸What is the difference between this and a collage grid?
A collage grid arranges multiple photos into a layout. This tool does the opposite: it overlays a drawing grid on a single photo so you can copy it accurately with the grid drawing method.
