— Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The image is decoded, drawn and exported locally with your browser's Canvas API.
What grid size should I use for drawing?
Start with 8×8 for simple references. Use 12×12 or finer for portraits and detailed scenes.
Do labels appear in the downloaded image?
Yes when enabled. Turn labels off if you only want grid lines.
Can I use a transparent grid?
The grid opacity is adjustable. The exported image contains your photo plus the selected semi-transparent lines.
