A video game grid template that fills itself

Most 3x3 templates are an empty image you fill by hand: find nine covers, crop them, line them up. Here you just type the game names. Covers come from IGDB, every square is cropped the same way, and the download is a 1080px image ready for X, Reddit, Discord or Instagram.

Popular 3x3 ideas: favorite games of all time, games of the year, one console (try “Start from a console” below), one genre, games you would take to a desert island.

Search the way gamers talk

Type games the way you say them: acronyms (botw, rdr2, bg3), nicknames (melee, silksong, new vegas), numbers either way (ff7 = ffvii), remakes (re4 remake) and typos (skyrm) all find the right game.

Questions

Is this 3x3 games maker free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark beyond a small site credit.

Can I make a 4x4 grid?

Yes. Use the + button next to the title: from 10 games the grid switches to rows of four, and 16 games make a full 4×4.

Can I show game titles on the covers?

Yes. Tick "Show game titles on the covers" to print each name and year on the image, or untick it for covers only.

Where does the cover art come from?

IGDB.com, which has covers for 60,000+ games, including retro and mobile titles.
