GuideGuide is a plugin that lets you quickly and easily create grids and manipulate guides, wherever you like to work. Whether you're into basic grids or a design pervert that gets weird with the golden ratio, GuideGuide supports your life choices.
GuideGuide is a plugin that makes it easy to construct columns, build baselines, mark midpoints, and respect ratios, all by manipulating guides in your favorite design tools — now in Figma. Finally.
Howdy 🤠,
I'm the guy that created GuideGuide. I launched the first version for Photoshop back in 2010 when we were still shuttling web mockups around between PSD files. A lot has changed since then, but I'm still as unsatisfied as ever with the grid tools our design apps provide.
Don't get me wrong, Figma is probably the best of them — but I still think GuideGuide can do better. It's a plugin that manipulates the built-in guide feature of the software it supports to create grids. This is great for when you're not using autolayout, or need nonstandard grids that grid layouts can't handle.
GuideGuide can do all the vanilla stuff: margins, columns, rows, and gutters. It's even got a few buttons for quickly adding edge and midpoint guides.
The real power lies in it's *grid notation*, a way to create any kind of grid you might need. Want a sidebar along with your columns? Easy. Factoring in aspect ratios? Done. Are you a math pervert? Use GuideGuide to put Fibonacci everywhere.
If you're any sort of designer, you probably use a tool that GuideGuide supports. Now with Figma support, GuideGuide is ready to help you line stuff up with other stuff wherever you like to work.
I’ve used GuideGuide for half of my (illustrious) career at this point. It’s really the only plugin I use in Photoshop and Illustrator and i’m excited to know if I ever have the misfortune of having to learn yet another Adobe tool, GuideGuide will be there.
