A perspective drawing grid. Pick 1/2/3-point, drag the sliders, then print it or save a PNG to draw over.
An in-browser tool for making a perspective drawing grid — the converging guide lines artists use to keep buildings, rooms and streets in correct perspective. Switch between 1-point, 2-point and 3-point perspective and the grid redraws with guide lines radiating from the vanishing points, plus a horizon (eye-level) line. Sliders let you set the horizon height, the center vanishing-point position, the spread between the left and right vanishing points (wide = a gentle wide-angle look, narrow = a stronger, more dramatic perspective), and the number, width and color of the lines, all updating live. Pick a white background for printing, or a transparent one to layer over your canvas in Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Photoshop or ibisPaint. Choose an output size from presets like A4 (portrait/landscape), Letter, square and 16:9, or type a custom width and height. When it looks right, hit Print to send it straight to paper as an under-drawing sheet, or Save PNG to drop it on the bottom layer of your art app and trace the perspective on top. Even with a strong perspective where a vanishing point falls off-screen, lines are drawn toward evenly spaced points around the canvas edge so the guides stay clean and dense across the whole image. Nothing is uploaded: generating, printing and exporting the grid all happen entirely in your browser, with no external API or server. It does not auto-detect perspective from a photo or build curved (fisheye) grids — it's for hand-building straight-line perspective guides.
How to use
- Pick 1-, 2- or 3-point perspective to match your scene (a room facing front = 1-point, a building seen from its corner = 2-point, looking up/down = 3-point).
- Use the sliders to set the horizon height, vanishing-point position and spread, and the line count, width and color; choose a page size and background (white / transparent).
- Hit Print for a paper under-drawing, or Save PNG and lay it under your art in your drawing app to trace the perspective on top.
FAQ
Is the grid I make sent to a server?
No. Generating the grid, printing and exporting the PNG all happen entirely in your browser. No image or data is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere, and there is no external API or server.
Can I layer it over Clip Studio or Procreate?
Yes. Set the background to transparent and export a PNG, then drop it on the bottom layer in Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Photoshop or ibisPaint and trace the perspective on top. You can also print it for a paper under-drawing.
When should I use 1-, 2- or 3-point perspective?
Use 1-point for scenes with depth in one direction (a room or corridor seen head-on), 2-point for objects seen from a corner (a building with two receding sides), and 3-point when there's also vertical perspective from looking up or down. Switching the type rebuilds the vanishing points and converging lines automatically.
Can I make a strong perspective where a vanishing point is off-screen?
Yes. Increase the VP spread to push the left and right vanishing points outside the canvas for a more natural, gentle perspective, or narrow it for a dramatic one. The guide lines are drawn so they stay clean across the whole image even when a vanishing point is off-screen.
Can it detect perspective from a photo or make a fisheye (curved) grid?
No. This tool is for hand-building straight-line perspective guides (1/2/3-point). It does not auto-detect perspective from a photo or build curved grids (fisheye, 5-point, etc.).
