Questions

Frequently asked

Is GridMaker Pro free to use?

Yes. You can upload a reference image, customize the grid, and export standard PNG, JPG, or PDF files without creating an account.

Is my reference image uploaded to a server?

No. GridMaker Pro processes the image locally in your browser. The photo is used to draw the preview and export canvas, but it is not sent to an image-processing server.

What grid size works for beginners?

A 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 grid gives beginners enough structure without creating too many small boxes. Increase detail gradually as confidence grows.

Can I add coordinates to the worksheet?

Yes. Turn on Cell labels and choose the coordinate style before exporting the PDF.

Can I print a blank practice sheet for students?

Yes. Click Blank worksheet on the grid tool to create a labeled grid on A4 without uploading a photo. Export PDF for the practice page, then export the reference image separately with the same row and column count.

Can students use the tool themselves?

Yes, on a compatible browser. No account is required, but teachers should still follow school rules for devices and reference images.
