About Free Grid Maker
Free Grid Maker is a fast, free online grid maker for photos and images. We built it so anyone can add an accurate, customizable grid overlay to a picture — or generate a blank printable grid — without installing software, creating an account, or paying a cent.
Our mission
The grid method has helped artists reproduce references accurately for centuries. We wanted to bring that time-tested technique online in the simplest way possible: upload an image, set your rows and columns, and start drawing. No learning curve, no clutter, no barriers.
Privacy first, by design
Free Grid Maker runs entirely in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to a server — all processing happens locally on your device, which keeps your images private and makes the tool fast even with large, high-resolution files.
What you can do
- Grid any photo: overlay a precise, square-accurate grid on JPG, PNG, WEBP, or GIF images.
- Customize everything: rows, columns, line color, thickness, opacity, labels, and guides.
- Create blank grids: generate printable grids on A5, A4, A3, Letter, Tabloid, or custom sizes.
- Export freely: download full-resolution PNG or JPG, or print directly — always watermark-free.
Who it's for
Artists and illustrators use it for the grid drawing method. Teachers create worksheets and demonstrations. Designers and architects overlay measurement grids. Photographers check composition. Crafters scale patterns for cross-stitch and embroidery. One free tool covers all of these jobs.
