Use PhotoGrid’s gridmaker to prepare a labeled reference on Letter paper. Add a photo, adjust eight columns and twelve rows, and export a PNG.
Blank Letter grid, 12 rows x 8 columns
A 4×4 drawing grid keeps the portrait in proportion.
Choose a photo from your device. The Letter canvas starts with a labeled twelve-row, eight-column grid.
Pick a line color that contrasts with the photo. Keep the whole image visible or choose a filling crop.
Download the gridded PNG. Keep an unmodified copy of the source alongside it for checking colors and details.
No. This tool is part of PhotoGrid. It is a browser grid utility and does not claim to be another service’s official site.
No. The PNG is a single combined image. Keep your original photograph for future adjustments.
Labels give each cell a visible reference so you can discuss a feature without guessing which part of the image someone means. They are especially useful when a subject contains repeated shapes or similar textures.
Start with enough cells to identify the important features, then remove unnecessary divisions. A small portrait may need less detail than a complex scene, and a dense grid can conceal fine edges.
The green preset can be easy to see over warm tones, but it may disappear over foliage. Compare it with black, coral, or a custom color using both the bright and dark areas of your image.
The exported file preserves your chosen grid as pixels. If you want a version with different lines later, load the original photograph again rather than putting another grid over an already gridded download.
