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

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose what “this” refers to

    Select one picture from your device. The tool places it on a square canvas with a four-by-four guide.

  2. 2.Check fit and divisions

    Use Full photo to preserve the whole picture or Fill page to fill the canvas. Adjust the counts to suit the reference.

  3. 3.Save the gridded picture

    Pick lines that remain visible across the image and download the complete PNG as one file.

Before I download

Can I put several pictures into separate cells?

This tool accepts one background picture. Use the photo grid maker for a collage containing multiple images.

Can I get each cell as its own file?

No. This page exports one gridded PNG. Use an image splitter for separate downloadable tiles.

Put one image behind a guide

This page is for a picture that needs visible reference divisions. A sixteen-cell grid gives you smaller regions to compare while retaining enough context to recognize the whole subject.

It does not rearrange the image into a spreadsheet, cut it into separate tiles, or place multiple uploaded pictures into individual cells. Those tasks require different tools and different output formats.

Decide which edges to preserve

A non-square source can fit fully inside the square with white margins, or fill the square with some content cropped away. Choose according to what you need the reference to show.

When preserving every edge matters, use Full photo or switch to a closer paper ratio. Check details near the outside before export, because the downloaded image records the crop and grid exactly as a single flattened result.
