Add evenly spaced guide lines to a photo using a simple 2x2 grid. Change the divisions, line color, and opacity, then save the image as PNG.
Blank Square 1:1 grid, 2 rows x 2 columns
A 4×4 drawing grid keeps the portrait in proportion.
Choose your image and the canvas shape. Review the edges before adding guide lines so you do not accidentally work from an unwanted crop.
Start with a vertical and horizontal center division. Adjust rows and columns for more regular lines, or choose an available composition guide.
Set the line appearance and download the PNG. Check the result before sharing it as an alignment or composition reference.
Set the custom grid to one column and multiple rows. For only vertical internal divisions, use one row and multiple columns.
No. The 2400-pixel-wide PNG combines the image and lines. Keep the unmarked original if you may need to change the guide later.
A 2x2 layout creates four regions and marks the midpoint in each direction. A 3x3 layout divides the frame into thirds instead. These evenly spaced guides are useful when comparing positions; they do not require manually measuring each pixel of the source image.
If your task is to circle an object, underline a word, draw an arrow, or connect two arbitrary points, regular grid lines are the wrong shape of tool. This page handles grid and composition guides. A freehand annotation editor is needed for individually placed marks.
