Split Image into Grid

Slice a photo into tiles for an Instagram grid or a puzzle layout.

About this splitter

Choose how many columns and rows you want and the image is sliced into evenly sized tiles, previewed as a grid. Download them individually or all at once as a ZIP.

Presets cover the layouts people actually use: a 3 ร— 3 Instagram grid, a 3 ร— 1 panorama for a swipeable carousel, and simple 2 ร— 2 and 4 ร— 4 splits.

Posting an Instagram grid correctly

The part that catches people out: post the tiles in reverse order. Your profile shows the most recent post first, top-left, and fills across then down. So the last tile you post is the one that ends up top-left.

Working backwards from the bottom-right tile means uploading tile 3-3 first, then 3-2, 3-1, then 2-3 and so on, finishing with 1-1. Get it wrong and the picture assembles mirrored and upside down, with no way to fix it short of deleting and starting again.

Tiles here are named row-then-column โ€” tile-1-1 is top-left โ€” so working backwards is just reading the list from the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a 3x3 grid for Instagram?

Use the 3 ร— 3 preset, download the tiles, then post them in reverse order โ€” bottom-right first, top-left last โ€” because your profile shows the newest post first.

In what order should I upload the tiles?

Backwards. The last tile posted appears top-left on your profile, so start with the bottom-right piece and finish with the top-left one.

Can I download all the pieces at once?

Yes โ€” everything is bundled into a single ZIP, built in your browser. There is also a one-by-one option if you prefer separate files.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The photo is sliced on a canvas in your browser and the ZIP is assembled locally.
