About
Put a grid over any reference photo and check its values on the same screen.
Gridline is a drawing grid for painters, illustrators and art students who work from reference photos. Import a picture, set up the grid, switch to grayscale or a notan when you need to judge values, and paint with your phone or iPad beside the easel.
■ Free
• Import from your photo library or take a new photo
• Square or rectangular cells, with any number of columns and rows
• Diagonals, cell numbers, line color and line thickness
• Grayscale view, a 2-tone notan, and mirror
• Paint mode: the tools disappear, touches are ignored and the screen stays awake, so the device can stand by your easel. Long-press to leave
• Unlimited projects, each one reopening with the settings you left
■ Gridline Pro (one-time purchase)
• Notan in 3, 4 or 5 tones: drag the split points on the value scale and simplify the small details
• Fit to canvas: crop to A4, 8×10, 9×12, 11×14 or 16×20 in, or square, in portrait or landscape, and see the real cell size in cm or inches
• No ads
Pro is a single purchase, not a subscription. You can restore it on other devices signed in with the same Apple Account.
■ About ads
The free version shows one banner ad at the bottom of the project list. The editor, where you look at your reference, has no ads.
■ Your photos stay on your device
Gridline keeps its own copy of each reference inside the app. There is no account or sign-up, and your images are never uploaded.
