Stop fighting grids.

Make My Grid is a free comic panel layout tool for manga artists, webcomic creators, and anyone who just wants to draw — not wrestle with templates.

Build My Grid Free → The Story Behind It

The Origin Story

A dad built this for his daughter.

My daughter Emma is a professional artist and character designer. She plays World of Warcraft and draws goblins — detailed, expressive, alive on the page.

But every time she sat down to build a comic page, she'd lose an hour fighting panel grids. Templates were too rigid. Design tools were overkill. Nothing just worked.

So I built her something that did. And then I made it free for everyone.

"I spent more time setting up panels than actually drawing. Now I open Make My Grid, set my layout in 2 minutes, and get back to the part I actually love."
