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

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Select the image and frame

    Upload the source and choose the paper ratio you want to inspect. Compare Full photo and Fill page before using the grid to judge alignment.

  2. 2.Review the center guides

    The 2x2 starting grid creates one internal vertical line and one internal horizontal line. Compare your subject with their crossing point.

  3. 3.Keep a clear reference copy

    Adjust the line width and contrast, then download the PNG. Add more rows or columns only if you need finer position checks.

Before I download

Can I show only one center division?

Choose one row and two columns for a vertical division, or two rows and one column for a horizontal division. Custom counts control the regular grid.

Can I move a single line to a custom pixel position?

No. Lines are evenly spaced from the row and column counts. This is a regular-grid tool, not an editor for arbitrary guide positions.

Start with the simplest useful guide

A centered cross divides the image into four regions without covering it with many lines. It helps compare left and right spacing or the visual weight above and below the midpoint. It does not detect symmetry automatically or move the subject into alignment.

Know which center you are checking

The grid center belongs to the chosen canvas. If an image is fitted into a different aspect ratio, blank margins can appear around it. Inspect those margins before concluding that the subject is centered within the original photograph.
