## Description

Import a reference, align it precisely, configure a dependable grid, and export a clean PNG for your drawing workflow.

Drawing Grid helps artists transfer proportions from a reference image to paper or canvas.

Choose a canvas preset or enter a custom physical size. Configure the grid by row and column count or by cell size, add diagonal overlays, and choose the line color, width, and opacity.

Image Editing mode keeps image gestures separate from canvas navigation. Move, pinch, rotate, crop, center, fit, fill, reset, or adjust the reference opacity. Canvas Navigation mode is available whenever you want to pan or zoom the workspace.

Your complete last-used workspace is saved on-device. Export produces a deliberate 2048-pixel PNG containing the reference and grid without menus, selection borders, indices, or other editor controls.

Drawing Grid 3.4 requires iOS or iPadOS 17.0 and supports iPhone, iPad, rotation, Split View, resizable windows, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, dark mode, Increase Contrast, Reduce Transparency, and Reduce Motion.

## Review summary

Users broadly like the app for making grid-based drawing easier and more accurate, with notes that it supports proportional grids, a visual dynamic grid, and even converts photos to line drawings. Many praise its usefulness over manual grids and ease of use. However, the experience is marred by frequent crashes when saving, a non-intuitive interface with little guidance, and limitations on grid size/editability. An unremovable onboarding image also hampers use. Strong concept, fragile execution.

### Pros

- Improves accuracy and helps draw proportional images
- Dynamic, visual grid placement that’s easy to adjust
- Can convert a photo to a line drawing, aiding sketches
- Easier to use than printing a manual grid; more visually approachable
- Generally manageable and useful for artists in several reviews

### Cons

- Crashes or freezes when saving/exporting images
- Not user-friendly; lacks clear instructions and guidance
- Grid size/independence is limited or unreliable (inability to adjust grid independently; grid uneven)
- Onboarding/help overlay cannot be dismissed
- Demo/ads with unclear upgrade value disrupt user experience
