Artist Grid

About this app

Often artists need a grid for existing images to the proportions and perspective right. This small app does exactly that. A simple and free app for putting a grid on an existing photo. Grid size in terms of rows and columns can be set freely or based on presets. Line thickness can be set in pixels, line color can be select from primary colors, and line transparency can be configured. The image with the grid can be exported to a file or shared to other Android apps. Additionally, you can switch to a comic like view of the image highlighting the edges and reducing the colors.


Features:

★ Zoom and pan images.
★ Configurable number of grid lines.
★ Arbitrary grid line thickness and opaqueness.
★ Full screen mode.
★ Works in landscape and portrait mode.
★ Saving and sharing of grids supported.
★ Comic-like filter for image abstraction.
★ It's simple and effective.
★ It does not need specific rights besides opening images and saving or sharing grids.
★ It exactly does what it is meant for.
★ Completely free & ad-free.

Ratings and reviews

I was honestly really dissapointed. I like the posterize and black and white features very much. However the main thing this app was supposed to do, put a grid over a photo, was extremely difficult. For starters, the grids are always rectangles. I tried on multiple images and they were still rectangles. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just wish there were a way to make a grid with just squares. Would not recomend.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tool! A quick suggestion: can you please make it possible to reposition/adjust the grid before "locking" it. That would make it muhh easier to place the grid on important markers, or adjust it so that important features fall on the lines. This will take take further judgement/guesswork out getting the proportions correct. Love the app! Thank you!

Very easy to use and gives you the ability to change image to basically a sketch which works out great for people starting to draw.
