Tomodachi Life grid · FAQ

Quick answers about the toolkit and how each tool maps to the in-game Palette House.

What is Tomodachi Grid?
Tomodachi Grid is a free, browser-based toolkit for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It includes a pixel-art Grid Maker, a complete canvas size reference, an Island Layout Planner, and a Designs Gallery — all in one place, no signup, no install.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Tomodachi Grid is free and runs entirely in your browser. Your images, layouts, and saved projects stay on your device — we don't upload them to a server.

Can I import designs directly into the game?
No — Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has no built-in image import. That's why the Grid Maker outputs a recipe card: it tells you the brush, mode, and step-by-step paint sequence so you can recreate any design in the Palette House manually.
