A 4×4 drawing grid keeps the portrait in proportion.

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Start with nine cells

    The canvas opens with three rows and three columns. Keep Square selected for nine equally sized square cells.

  2. 2.Choose blank or photo

    Leave the canvas empty for a planning sheet, or select one photo and check its fit inside the square.

  3. 3.Export your layout

    Set a readable line color and download the complete grid as one 2400×2400 PNG image.

Before I download

Can I label the nine cells?

Yes. Enable cell labels with Custom selected. Turn them off again when you want a clean background for a worksheet or presentation.

Does the download contain nine separate files?

No. It contains one image with a visible grid. Use an image splitter if you need separate tiles.

Nine cells for a simple visual plan

A 3×3 layout gives you a center cell, four edge cells, and four corner cells. Use that structure to plan a mood board, compare positions in a reference, or prepare a small sketching exercise.

This maker draws guides over one image or an empty canvas. It does not place nine separate photographs into the cells. For a finished collage, use a photo collage tool instead.

Keep the layout square when cell shape matters

With a square canvas and equal row and column counts, the cells stay square. Changing to Letter or Portrait preserves the count but makes each cell rectangular.

Full photo keeps the whole source visible and can leave white margins. Fill page fills the square and can crop the edges. Check faces and other important details before downloading the flattened PNG.
