Draw pattern bands on a grid, export them as clean vector work.

EthnoGrid is a browser-based editor for building ethnographic pattern work cell by cell — layered grids, diagonals, symbols and rings — and exporting it as SVG.

What EthnoGrid does

Cell-by-cell grid drawing

Draw straight lines, diagonals and triangles directly on the grid, with H/V/D axis lock for precise pattern work.

Layers

Build a pattern from multiple layers and combine them into one composited result.

Grid and Vector Assets

Save a selection or a stamped SVG shape as a reusable Asset, then place it again in any Project.

Unfolded Preview

See your pattern's full width-by-height layout unfolded in the Preview panel before you export it.

Ring render

Preview how a band pattern reads once it wraps around a ring.

SVG export

Export your finished pattern as clean, scalable vector output.

Projects with version history

Every save adds an append-only version to a Project's history — nothing is silently overwritten.

Share and collaborate

Share a Project with a signed-in editor link and work on it together with collaborators.

Trash with restore

Deleting a Project moves it to Trash first, where it can be restored until you empty it.

Works offline, too

Run EthnoGrid entirely from a local file with no account and no server — or sign in for the hosted runtime and import your existing local Projects once.

Sign in to save your work as Projects, or open the editor to try it without an account first.
