bump a question. Is there a way to disable the pixel grid in Photoshop on the iPad? Also, is there a way to control how pixels are displayed when zooming in? The blurriness is quite frustrating and makes the app difficult to use. This question is for someone experienced with Photoshop on an iPad.

Is there a way to disable the pixel grid in Photoshop on the iPad?
By @ROLDEN GATIO

As far as I know, the pixel grid on Photoshop for iPad cannot be disabled. It only appears (for me) at a zoom level of 2001% or higher. One way to stop seeing it is to zoom at 2000% or lower.

While I was making sure I was answering correctly, I came across these two very wrong answers from the AI Overview. I never trust it, but frequently look at it to see the misinformation it often comes up with.

Photoshop for iPad does not have a View menu.
The Pixel Grid on iPad starts at 2001, not 600.
Photoshop for iPad does indeed have a "dedicated" pixel grid.
This article from 2019 mentions it: https://thecreativestore.uk/creative-talk/design/photoshop-soon-to-be-used-on-an-ipad/
Photoshop for iPad does not have a custom grid as stated in the workaround, although this has been requested since 2019

For those who do a web search, you might consider bypassing the AI. Including "helpx" or ".adobe.com" will aid in your search.

Are you referring to the pixel grid when you zoom way in past 100% like in this screen shot?

I'm sorry, I have never used the iPad version, but it seems reasonable that if there is method of turning it off, it would be similar to the PC and Mac versions. Does the iPad have the same menus?

Trevor, I realize this thread awakened after 3 years, and that now that you have an iPad you may have installed Photoshop.

Menus on Photoshop for iPad are not at all the same as Photoshop for desktop, and a lot of features we are used to do not exist.

The pixel grid kicks in at 2001% zoom instead of 600%.
