About GridTools

GridTools is a small, independent site that makes free tools for planning things on a grid: Minecraft builds, spreadsheet pixel art, bead patterns and stitching charts.

Why it exists

Many grid tools online are slow, hard to use on a phone, or stop at a picture. We wanted tools that also answer the next question: how many blocks or beads, where exactly each one goes, and how to keep track while building. Each tool is built to be fast, to work well on mobile, and to print cleanly.

How the tools work

Everything runs in your browser. Shapes are calculated on your device, and any picture you load stays on your device; it is never uploaded to us. Settings are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share a plan.

Who makes it

The site is built and maintained by an independent developer who builds web apps and browser tools. Questions, corrections and tool ideas are welcome on the contact page.

Independence

GridTools is not affiliated with Mojang, Microsoft, DMC, Perler or any other brand mentioned on the site. Brand names are used only to describe what a tool works with.
