Make a Perspective Grid for Drawing

This perspective grid maker generates the guide lines artists draw over: pick one-point, two-point or three-point perspective, or a room in one-point perspective with a back wall, floor, ceiling and side walls, then drag the vanishing points to where the scene needs them. Set how many lines the grid has, their width, colour and opacity, choose a page size from HD and square to A4 at print resolution or your own pixels, and download a PNG. With a transparent background the grid drops straight onto a layer in Procreate, Photoshop, Krita or Clip Studio; with a white background it prints as a sheet to sketch on. Use it as a perspective creator for a new scene or a perspective helper to check an existing sketch.

How to Use the Perspective Grid Generator

  1. Choose the perspective. 1-point puts a single vanishing point on the horizon with a grid of verticals and horizontals for the picture plane; 2-point has two points on the horizon, usually outside the picture; 3-point adds a third point above or below for the verticals of a tall building seen from the ground or a rooftop; Room is a one-point interior.
  2. Drag the vanishing points. Each point is a blue handle on the preview. The stage shows a margin around the page so a point can sit outside the picture, where two-point grids usually need it. In 2- and 3-point the two horizon points move up and down together so the horizon stays level.
  3. Set the lines. Line density is the number of rays from each point; under More options the width, colour and opacity control how the guide looks under a drawing. The horizon line is drawn heavier and can be switched off.
  4. Choose the size and download. HD 1920 × 1080 for a screen, square or portrait for social formats, A4 at 300 dpi for print, 4K, or a custom width and height up to 8000 pixels. Download as PNG, transparent or on a background colour.

One, Two and Three-Point Perspective

In one-point perspective all lines going away from the viewer meet at a single point on the horizon: a straight road, a hallway, the front view of a room. The grid gives you those rays plus the horizontal and vertical lines that stay parallel to the picture plane. Two-point perspective is for an object seen from a corner - a building on a street corner, a box turned at an angle - with two vanishing points far apart on the horizon; the further apart they sit, the less the distortion, which is why the maker lets them go outside the picture. Three-point perspective adds a vertical vanishing point for looking sharply up at a skyscraper or down from a roof; drag it far below or above the page for a gentle lean, closer for drama.

Room Perspective Generator

The Room mode draws an interior in one-point perspective: a back wall rectangle centred on the vanishing point, the four corner lines that become the edges of the floor, ceiling and side walls, evenly spaced rays across every surface, and depth lines that come closer together toward the back wall the way tiles do. Move the vanishing point up for a low viewpoint, sideways to see more of one wall, and resize the back wall to set how deep the room feels. It is the fastest start for a bedroom, a shop interior, a corridor or a stage set.

Free, Printable, Nothing Uploaded

The grid is generated in your browser at the exact pixel size you choose, so an A4 sheet at 300 dpi prints with crisp lines and a 4K grid stays sharp on a large canvas. There is no signup and no watermark, and nothing leaves your device. For a plain square grid over a photo, the grid maker draws that; to correct the perspective of a photograph rather than draw one, use the perspective tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the vanishing points be outside the image?

Yes. The preview shows a margin around the page, and a point can be dragged anywhere in it. Two-point grids look natural with both points well outside the picture; the exported PNG is the page only.

How do I get a transparent grid to use as a layer?

Turn on Transparent background under More options and download as PNG. The lines keep their colour and opacity, and everything else is transparent.

What size should I use for printing?

A4 landscape or portrait at 300 dpi, both in the size list, print at full quality on an A4 sheet. For another paper size, choose Custom and enter the pixels: inches times 300.

Can I change the line colour?

Yes. Under More options the line colour, width and opacity are free; a light grey or blue at 30 to 50 percent opacity sits quietly under pencil or ink.

What is a three-point perspective grid for?

For views that look steeply up or down. The third vanishing point makes vertical edges converge, which is what you see looking up at a tall building from the street or down at it from above.

Is the perspective grid maker free?

Yes, free, with no account and no watermark. The grid is generated on your device and never uploaded.
