Grid Maker vs Grid Artist

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. DRAWING 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 unlimited projects and share your reference as a PNG, with or without the grid. GO FURTHER WITH GRID MAKER PRO • Canvas Match: set paper or canvas dimensions and cell size to prepare a reference in the proportions you need. • Value Study: simplify light and dark areas before planning your shading. • WIP Compare: overlay a photo of your drawing on the reference to spot differences. • Perspective Correction: adjust an angled reference photo. • Projector Mode: display a full-screen grid on black, with an optional faint reference image. • Keep unlimited projects and export labeled PDFs for sharing or printing.

Draw anything, one square at a time. Grid Artist turns a reference photo into an accurate, step-by-step drawing guide using the grid method artists have relied on for centuries: divide the picture into squares, copy one square at a time, and the proportions take care of themselves. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add a photo from your library, the camera, or Files. 2. Pick the paper you are drawing on. Your photo fills it — drag and pinch to choose what fits. 3. Set the grid, or let Grid Artist suggest a size from how much detail your photo actually has. It tells you what one square comes out as on that paper. 4. Tap Ready to Draw. The setup locks and the reference fills the screen. 5. Copy a square, tap it off, and move on. Export or print the gridded sheet whenever you like. THE GRID, EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT IT • Independent rows and columns, with a square-cell lock • Presets from 3×3 up to 20×20, or any size you like • Line width, opacity and colour • Heavier major lines every few squares • Labels: none, numbers, A1 edges, or coordinates inside each square • Centre crosshair, diagonals, rule of thirds and golden ratio guides • Pinch to zoom and pan anywhere on the reference CELL FOCUS — THE PART THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING One tap from the full-screen reference blows a single square up to fill the display, with the rest of the picture reduced to a small overview map so you never lose your place. Mirror the square, step forward and back, mark it finished — and Grid Artist moves you on automatically. A progress bar and a colour-coded map show exactly how far you've come. PREPARE THE REFERENCE • Crop, rotate and flip, locked to your paper's aspect ratio • Exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpen and blur • Nine rendering styles: grayscale, high contrast, edge guide, line art, pencil sketch, simplify, threshold, invert and the original • Paper sizes A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, square, photo sizes, or a custom size in millimetres BUILT FOR DRAWING ON REAL PAPER Tap Ready to Draw and your paper, grid and reference are preserved, so a stray touch while you work cannot move the grid underneath you. The reference then fills the screen edge to edge with nothing but the squares and your progress — prop the device beside your paper and tap each square off as you finish it. Rotate the reference to suit how the device is sitting, and hide the controls when you want only the picture. SMART HELP, ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE • Suggested grid size, measured from the actual edge detail in your photo • Crop to subject, using what the eye lands on first • Line art that traces the outlines so you can copy shapes instead of shading • Subject only, lifting your subject off its background • Proportion guides for portraits: the eye line, nose and mouth All of it runs on your iPhone or iPad using Apple's own frameworks. Nothing is uploaded, so it works on a plane, and your photos stay yours. EXPORT AND PRINT • Reference with the grid, reference only, or a blank grid for your own paper • A square-by-square PDF worksheet: one page per square, printed large and labelled • PNG, JPEG and PDF, sized to the paper you picked • AirPrint, AirDrop and the share sheet PROJECTS Every photo, grid, adjustment and finished square is saved as a project. Search them, sort them, duplicate one to try a different grid, and pick up exactly where you left off. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Grid Artist has no sign-in, no subscription prompts, no analytics and makes no network requests at all. Made for anyone learning to draw, and for anyone who already can and just wants the measuring done for them.
