Welcome to iZoRun, your go-to source for smart design strategies and layout precision! 🧩
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to apply grids to all pages in InDesign to ensure layout consistency, perfect alignment, and a clean design structure across your entire document. Whether you're working on magazines, books, brochures, or digital publications, setting up grids correctly helps guide your typography, columns, images, and white space with professional accuracy.
🧠 Why Use Grids in InDesign?
Grids are invisible guides that help you:
• Align text, images, and objects consistently
• Design with modular layouts and balance
• Improve reading flow and spacing
• Maintain consistency across pages
Learning how to create page grids in InDesign is essential for professional publishing and editorial work.
🛠 Step-by-Step: How to Apply Grid to All Pages in InDesign
Follow these steps to set up a document grid that applies to every page in your layout:
✅ 1. Open InDesign
Launch Adobe InDesign and open your existing project or start a new one.
✅ 2. Go to ‘Edit’ (Windows) or ‘InDesign’ (Mac)
Open the Edit menu if you're using Windows, or the InDesign menu on Mac.
✅ 3. Select ‘Preferences’ ‘Grids’
Navigate to:
Edit Preferences Grids (Windows)
InDesign Preferences Grids (Mac)
This opens the preferences panel where you can define grid behavior.
✅ 4. Adjust the Grid Settings
Customize your grid system:
• Color – Choose a visible but non-distracting color.
• Gridline Every – Set the spacing between major lines (e.g., 1 inch or 12 pt).
• Subdivisions – Set the number of sublines between major gridlines.
• Start – Set grid to start at a consistent point like the top margin.
✅ To apply grids to all pages properly, make sure “Grid Relative to: Top of Page” is selected for universal alignment.
✅ 5. Click ‘OK’ to Apply the Settings
Your preferences are saved globally across the document.
✅ 6. Go to ‘View’
At the top menu, click View to access display options.
✅ 7. Select ‘Grids & Guides’
Hover over Grids & Guides in the dropdown.
✅ 8. Click on ‘Show Document Grid’
Check Show Document Grid to make the baseline/document grid visible on your pages.
Your custom grid will now appear across all pages in your InDesign document.
🧱 Bonus: How to Create a Grid Using Guides on Master Pages
Want full control and visual grid overlays? Here’s how to use master pages to build your grid manually:
🧩 How to Create a Master Page Grid in InDesign
1. Open the Pages panel (Window Pages).
2. Double-click on the A-Master to enter master editing mode.
3. Use Layout Create Guides to build a custom layout grid:
• Define number of Rows and Columns
• Set Gutter spacing between them
• Choose “Fit Guides to: Margins”
1. Click OK to apply.
Any pages using this master will automatically show this custom guide-based grid.
✅ This is how to create master page of grid in InDesign for layouts with modular design.
🔄 How to Copy Grids to Another Page in InDesign
If you're manually placing guides:
1. Use Ruler Guides from the top and left rulers (Ctrl/Cmd + R to enable rulers).
2. After placing, select all guides on one page.
3. Copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C), go to the new page, and Paste in Place (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Alt + V).
