My numbered grid

Waiting for a source image

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose your source

    Upload a clear picture with broad shapes and a simple background.

  2. 2.Adjust and compare

    Start with eight colors and larger numbered cells, then compare detail and number readability.

  3. 3.Download your result

    Download the PNG reference and keep the original picture beside it when choosing real paint colors.

Before I download

Is the free conversion an AI generator?

No. It is a browser-based color and square-cell conversion. Optional AI enhancement uses credits and uploads your image for processing. It is not needed to make this free reference.

Will it work well with every picture?

Any loadable picture can be tried, but simple subjects work better. Busy textures, distant faces, and weak contrast often become difficult to interpret as large numbered cells.

What is free in this workflow

The basic conversion runs in your browser and can be downloaded without an account. It reduces the photo into lightly tinted square cells with numbers; it does not use AI to redraw objects. If you choose an optional AI enhancement elsewhere, it uses credits and uploads your image for processing. It is separate from this free browser conversion.

Use the numbered result as a photo reference

Cells group sampled colors, but this version does not include a separate numbered color key or paint-brand matching. Keep the original photograph available and choose your paints manually. The square structure is different from a commercial kit that traces irregular object regions. Try a small exercise before planning a detailed painting.

Check the print before starting

The paint conversion caps the longest edge at 960 pixels and exports PNG. It does not create vector outlines or PDF. Print a small test and inspect whether both pale cells and numbers remain readable.
