Diamond painting grid on your photo
Upload a photo and place a square diamond painting grid over it. This is the fast check for detail loss: eyes, fur, text and fine patterns should still be recognisable through the grid.
What is the square grid for?
With diamond painting you work with a canvas divided into small cells. Each cell represents one drill position. The grid overlay shows whether faces, fur, text or fine patterns still have enough cells to stay recognisable.
The smaller the canvas, the larger each square is relative to your photo. This means fine details are lost. By placing the grid over your photo, you can immediately see whether important elements such as faces, eyes or patterns are still recognisable.
Tips for assessment
- Are the main shapes in your photo still recognisable through the grid?
- Do faces and eyes have enough squares to show details?
- Is there enough colour difference between adjacent areas?

If the photo still looks clear through the grid but you are unsure about 30x40, 40x50 or 50x70 cm, continue with the photo size guide.
