Recommendations for a good pixel perfect grid plugin for spritesheets?

Hey, I'm trying to use Paint.NET to create unity sprite sheets, but I'm finding it difficult to find a good gridline plugin. Basically unity divides the sprite sheet into smaller individual images every X pixels and I need to know where where these boundaries are to properly centre the sprites and make sure nothing is cut off.

Kris Vandermotten's only goes up to 100px, and RedOchre's uses the line width as padding between the cells, meaning that whilst the grid is very pretty, it's entirely useless for actually aligning anything.

Unfortunately, most plugin creators don't seem to go into these kinds of technical details, so it's tricky figuring out which are working the way I want without download them all myself t.t

Does anyone have any good recommendations that've worked well for creating sprite sheets or lining up RPG battle grids in applications like Roll20?

Hello @Pixie1001 and welcome to the forum :)

 

There is another Grid Lines  in this pack that goes up to a thousand.

 

If you want it bigger than that, you could duplicate it and then increase your canvas size and rearrange it to meet up.

Ah, thank you so much! That plug-in was perfect!

It even had a little check box that toggles whether you want to add the line width to the cells or not, and lines up perfectly with grids of different dimensions ^^
