Features & Capabilities

Grid Painter is a premium tool that lets you quickly place a grid over images to guide drawing using the classic grid technique. Import from your photo library, choose from multiple grid styles, adjust canvas size, and crop for precise composition. The built-in NotanIzer features let you view your image in color, grayscale, Notan, or levels to study value and improve planning. Save projects, share, print, or export your work for easy reuse.

With intuitive controls to scale, move, and align images, you can transfer grid proportions to your drawing surface for accurate recreations from references.

This is the best app for getting an accurate drawing and so helpful for seeing values

This is a great app with so many useful features. I would give it 5+ starts, except…. when I try to name my image file (as shown in the app, “tap to name project”) it does not save that name, or does it inconsistently. It will save the file, but it remains unnamed. I read this was a bug with a fix but I don’t see any updates here. I tried to email support to see what the trick is, but email was rejected by the recipient (?) So would love to know, how do I get it to save the names on my projects. Thanks!

Please let me know how to receive a refund for this app. It does not work for me and I request a refund! There is nowhere on your site for help or any other options for contact with this ghost company.
