## Description

Grid Generator is a handy Chrome extension designed to overlay customizable grid lines on your screen. It helps users balance cameras or images and aids in horizontal or vertical swiping actions, making it valuable for photographers, gamers, and designers alike. Users can specify the number of rows and columns to divide their screen, enhancing precision and alignment during tasks. The grid overlay remains visible even when switching between apps, including full-screen modes, and can be toggled on or off with ease.

To use, simply grant the app permission to display over other applications, select your grid configuration, and enable visibility. The tool offers a seamless way to maintain structured layouts without interfering with your workflow. For those interested in radial grid lines, a sister app "Radial Generator" is also available. Grid Generator ensures your screen workspace is impeccably organized, whether for creative or practical purposes.
