Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The trial starts automatically the first time you open the panel. When it ends, Base stays unlocked. Pro tabs show a lock until you subscribe or enter a license key.

Will GridMe change my original artwork?

No. Output goes on separate locked layers. Your logo paths stay live underneath. Gray fill mode temporarily changes appearance but stores and restores original styles.

Question 3

What is in the Present tab?

Three tools in one stage: Color Code labels swatches in HEX, RGB, or CMYK. Color Variations builds a four-up sheet on a dedicated artboard. Size Guide steps your mark down to a marked MIN width for brand PDFs.
