My grid

Blank Landscape grid, 4 rows x 6 columns

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

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose the mural proportions

    Upload the artwork reference and select its frame. Use the starting landscape Letter proportions only when they match the intended mural area.

  2. 2.Save a measured reference pair

    Set four rows and six columns or another suitable count. Download the photo reference and matching blank grid for planning notes.

  3. 3.Measure and mark the wall

    Measure the destination rectangle yourself. Divide its width by columns and height by rows, mark those intervals, and connect the corresponding points.

Before I download

Does the tool measure my wall automatically?

No. Measure the wall and mark its grid manually with suitable tools. The browser prepares a reference image; it has no wall-measurement or projection capability.

Does selecting a paper size set mural dimensions?

No. The PNG uses digital proportions. Use your own measured wall dimensions for the scale calculation, and verify a few cell widths before transferring the outline.

Calculate both directions before drawing

A 27.9 by 21.6 cm paper reference enlarged to a 279 by 216 cm wall rectangle has a scale factor of ten. With six columns and four rows, each wall cell measures 46.5 by 54 cm. Preserve these rectangular cell proportions.

Handle a wall with different proportions

A 279 by 240 cm wall does not match that reference. To preserve the artwork, use a 279 by 216 cm rectangle and leave 24 cm total vertical space, or intentionally reframe the artwork first. Stretching the reference to fill the wall would distort its shapes.
