Is the PNG really transparent?
Yes. The transparent downloads have no filled background, so you can layer them over maps or images.

Which PNG to use
Start with a ready overlay, then customize only if it does not fit.
Download a ready overlay when one of the common square or HD PNG sizes fits your map. Use the customizer when you need to match a specific map with different alignment, color, or spacing.
| PNG | Size | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| 1024 square | 1024 x 1024 px | General design overlays, Canva, Figma, and quick square image edits |
| HD wide | 1920 x 1080 px | Wide tabletop battlemaps, video-ready layouts, and screen backgrounds |
| Large square | 2048 x 2048 px | High-resolution square maps and larger design canvases |
| 4K wide | 3840 x 2160 px | High-resolution VTT maps, large displays, and detailed digital artwork |
| Flat-top | 1024 x 1024 px | Horizontal movement maps and board-game style layouts |
Overlay workflow
Use transparency when the map artwork should stay untouched.
A transparent grid works best when the map, image, or design is already finished and you only need a reusable line layer. If the grid needs to follow a specific room size or battlemap scale, upload the map and align the grid before downloading.
- Download a ready PNG when you only need a general hex overlay layer.
- Upload a map when hex size, opacity, or X/Y offset must match existing artwork.
- Export grid only when you want to keep the transparent layer separate from the map image.
Where transparent hex PNGs help
Use a transparent grid when the artwork is already finished.
Download pages perform better when the content explains the exact file job. This page focuses on transparent overlays instead of mixing every hex-grid use case together.
Virtual tabletop maps
Place the PNG over a battlemap in an image editor or VTT workflow when the map does not already include hexes.
Design mockups
Use the square PNG in Figma, Canva, Photoshop, or other tools when you need a quick visible hex layer.
Reusable grid layer
Keep the transparent PNG separate so you can test line opacity or blend modes without changing the original image.
Overlay checklist
Make the transparent grid easy to see but not overpowering.
A transparent PNG is only useful if the line color, opacity, and cell size match the artwork behind it.
- Use white lines for dark maps and dark lines for light maps.
- Lower opacity when the artwork contains labels, rooms, or texture that should remain readable.
- Use the customizer when a ready PNG does not align to the map scale.
- Download Grid Only when you want a reusable transparent overlay without merging it into the map.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between hex grid, hexagon grid, and hexagonal grid?
For downloads, they usually mean the same overlay: repeated six-sided cells on a transparent background. This page focuses on transparent hex grid PNG files you can layer over other artwork.
Can I download a hex grid overlay PNG?
Yes. Use the download cards for ready-made PNG overlays, or upload a map in the custom overlay tool when you need exact hex size, opacity, and X/Y offset.
Can I make the grid fit my own map?
Yes. Upload your map below, adjust hex size, opacity, and offset, then download either the merged map or transparent grid only.
Should I use PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for quick overlays in image editors. Use SVG when you need crisp scalable lines.
Which transparent size should I download?
Use 1024 x 1024 for square design work, 1920 x 1080 for HD battlemaps, 2048 x 2048 for larger square overlays, and 3840 x 2160 for 4K maps.
Can I change the line color?
Yes. Use the custom overlay tool to change line color, line width, opacity, hex size, and alignment before exporting.
