MomentA

Grid overlay

Toggle a non-printing dotted grid over the canvas to help align objects precisely. The grid is editor-only and never appears in exports, downloads, or final cards.

The grid overlay draws a regular dot pattern across the canvas. It is a visual reference only — it never appears in exported images, downloaded files, printed cards, shared links, or generated videos.

The MomentA canvas editor with the grid overlay active, showing a regular dot pattern over the card design. The Grid button in the toolbar is highlighted.
Grid overlay active — dots appear over the canvas in the editor only. The Grid toolbar button shows a secondary (active) style when on.

Turning the grid on and off

  1. 1

    Open any design in the editor

    Create a new design or open an existing one from your library.

  2. 2

    Find the Grid button in the top toolbar

    It sits between the Undo button and Save. It shows a grid icon and is labelled Grid.

  3. 3

    Click Grid to toggle the overlay on

    The button highlights (secondary style) and a dot grid appears over the canvas. The grid spacing is 20 px at 100% zoom.

  4. 4

    Click Grid again to hide it

    The overlay disappears. Your design is unchanged — the grid is purely cosmetic.

Quick alignment check

Turn the grid on, move or resize objects until they sit on a dot row, then toggle it off. There is no separate snap-to-grid — use the grid as an eye guide.

What the grid does not do

  • The grid does not snap objects — move objects freely and use the dots as a visual reference.
  • The grid does not print. It is stripped before any export, download, share, or video render.
  • The grid is not saved. If you close and reopen a design, the grid starts off by default.
  • The grid does not affect AI generation. Toggling it on or off has no effect on generated artwork.

Note

The grid state is intentionally session-only. This keeps shared links and embeds clean without needing an extra setting.
