Grid maker FAQ
Questions artists ask before they start
What is the grid method for drawing?+
The grid method divides a reference and drawing surface into matching sections. Artists copy one section at a time to make proportions and placement easier to judge.
Is this grid maker free?+
Yes. The core 2D grid maker, coordinate labels, and screen-size PNG or JPG exports are free and do not require an account.
Does LlamaGen upload my reference image?+
Not for the free grid workflow. The image is read and rendered locally by your browser. Optional AI-powered Starter features use LlamaGen services only after you choose them.
Which image formats can I use?+
You can open JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP images. Free exports are available as PNG or JPG.
