Questions

Before you install

Is GridSlate free?

Yes, until 1 March 2027: every feature on one computer per account, with no card and no payment. Download GridSlate and sign in with Google, Microsoft or Apple.

Can I move GridSlate to a new PC?

Yes. Sign in on the new PC and the other one is freed for you. A freed PC can use your account again after 30 days. Until 1 March 2027 each account has one computer.

Do I need to be online?

Only to sign in and to check in at least once every 30 days. GridSlate works offline for up to 30 days at a time.

Do I need to pay?

Not until 1 March 2027. After that you can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in euros or dollars, or by MB WAY or Multibanco in euros.

Does GridSlate change my original photos?

Never. It only reads them. Ratings, adjustments and placements live in GridSlate’s own catalog.

Will it keep up with a whole school?

Yes. Thumbnails are made once and cached, so the Library scrolls thousands of photos smoothly, and exports run in the background while you keep working.
