Powerful Grids in a Single Click

Whether you’re working in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, or After Effects, GuideGuide transforms the way you approach layout. Instead of dragging individual guides or performing mental math to calculate gutter widths, GuideGuide allows you to enter simple values and generate complex grids instantly. You can create rows, columns, midpoints, and baseline grids based on the entire canvas, a specific artboard, or even a current selection. This level of contextual awareness means your grid always fits exactly where you need it, when you need it.

Advanced Features for Non-Conformist Creators

GuideGuide goes far beyond basic "smart guides." It introduces Grid Notation, a versatile syntax that allows power users to build sophisticated, reusable templates. You can mark the edges of objects, find the exact center of a selection, and even create grids based on the Golden Ratio or Fibonacci sequences. For those who frequently revisit specific layouts, the ability to save custom presets ensures that your signature styles are just one click away, maintaining consistency across multiple documents and projects.

Designed to Feel Native and Effortless

The beauty of GuideGuide lies in its seamless integration. It is built to look and feel like a native part of the app you’re using, minimizing the learning curve while maximizing productivity. It handles the "whack-ass ideas" that built-in tools often ignore—like creating grids based on aspect ratios or building grids within other grids. By taking the "math" out of design, it frees you to focus on the purely creative aspects of your work.

Professional Support for Every Workflow

From solo freelancers to enterprise design teams, GuideGuide offers flexible licensing tiers—The Expert, The Polymath, and The Benefactor—to suit your specific needs. Developed and maintained by Cameron McEfee, a former creative director who understands the pain points of the industry, GuideGuide is a reliable, professional-grade tool that has become a staple in the design community. Stop wrestling with manual guides and start designing with the precision and speed of a pro.
