GR1D is a simple tool for grid-based drawing. It was first built in p5.js to avoid the repetitive task of setting up grids for graphics work. Over time, it became a straightforward way to sketch icons, patterns, pixel concepts, and abstract forms without rebuilding the basics each time.
It offers snap-to-grid drawing with circle or square brushes, adjustable grid sizes, and several modes for strokes, outlines, colors, or direct connections. Work can be exported in multiple sizes or pasted directly into Figma. Extras include a pattern generator, keyboard shortcuts, and an option to run Conway’s Game of Life on the grid.
