About this app

Art Grid is a drawing aid that overlays a grid on your photos so you can see proportions accurately and copy them by hand. Perfect for urban sketching, portrait and landscape studies, and anyone learning to draw.

🌍 Fully localized in 17 languages
English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Dutch — use Art Grid in your own language anywhere in the world. Switch languages anytime, right inside the app.

■ Key features
• Grid overlay — adjust the number of cells, color, line thickness, opacity, and diagonal (X) guides
• Canvas & paper sizing — pick a canvas (sizes F1–F300, F/P/M types) or standard paper (A4, A3, B4...) and Art Grid auto-calculates the real-world size of each grid cell
• Composition control — pinch to zoom and drag to frame your shot, fine-rotate to level the horizon
• Color analysis — Full color / Grayscale / Value steps (11 levels) / Reduced color count / Line (edge) modes to read value and form at a glance
• Color theory tips — RGB, CMYK, and Goethe (RYB) color wheels built right in
• Zoom preview — inspect your edited result with the grid at high magnification
• Save — export the grid-composited image and the original image to your gallery together

■ Who it's for
• Anyone who wants to transfer proportions from a photo accurately
• Urban sketchers and watercolor, oil, or pencil drawing practitioners
• Art beginners studying value and composition systematically
• Painters laying out an underdrawing to a specific canvas size

Just install and pick a photo from your gallery — no login, no sign-up. All image processing happens on your device; your photos are never sent to any server.
