Frequently asked questions
What is the How We See Each Other trend?
It is a visual social trend where people choose nine images that represent how they see another person, then compare their finished 3x3 grids.
What are the nine categories?
The template includes animal, place, plant, character, season, hobby, food, color, and drink.
Can I make the grid with a friend instead of a partner?
Yes. Make one for a best friend, sibling, family member, group, or yourself, then compare the choices if you both create a grid.
Can I change the category names?
Yes. Select a category label in the editor to rename it, and drag the cells to put the categories in your preferred order.
Is the template free?
Yes. TrendDoodle provides this free online template without an account or payment step.
Are uploaded images stored?
No. Uploaded files stay in your browser memory and are not uploaded to TrendDoodle. They are removed from the grid after a refresh. Your non-upload draft choices can be saved in your browser's localStorage, while Pexels searches use the server-side integration.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The editor is designed to work on mobile browsers, including image selection, reordering, downloading, and supported sharing options.
Can I share or download the completed grid?
Yes. When all nine cells have images, you can download a PNG, use Share on compatible devices, or copy the image or caption where your browser supports it. Generated PNGs are not uploaded to TrendDoodle.
Why do all nine cells need an image?
A complete 3x3 grid keeps the exported image balanced and makes every category part of the comparison, so image export and sharing require all nine cells.
