Create a Copyable Tomodachi Life Pixel Grid
A Tomodachi Life pixel grid is a construction plan. The goal is accuracy: copy cell by cell, follow the grid lines, and match every color to the palette key.
Choose a grid size
Pick a size that matches the complexity of your source. Smaller is faster; larger keeps more detail.
Read the palette key
Every number in the grid maps to a swatch beside or below the artwork. Glance at the key first.
Copy one cell at a time
Move row by row. Use the numbered guide and the visual coordinate reference to keep your place on larger grids.
Match colors in Palette House
Open Palette House, find the swatch that best matches the key, and fill the cell. Repeat per color.
Adjust as you go
If a section looks off, re-upload and tweak the color count or grid size without losing the rest of your work.

Numbered grid
Numbered Grid and Color Key
Every color in your Tomodachi Life pixel grid gets a number, and the same number sits on each matching swatch in the palette key. That means you can paint one color at a time without losing track.
Numbered cells
Each cell of the pixel grid carries a small color number. The number tells you which swatch in the palette key to use next.
Paint by color number - every generated guide shows the color number inside each cell and repeats the same number on the palette key.
Grid anatomy
Coordinate Grid for Easier Painting
Rows and columns label every cell so you can find each position fast. Thicker divider lines every 5 cells keep larger grids readable, and coordinates reduce drift when copying from screen to game.
Row numbers and column letters reduce mistakes when copying across screens. Use the generated numbered guide together with this coordinate reference when working on larger grids.
