Instagram Grid Maker — Split a Photo Into an Instagram Grid

Upload a single image, set the number of columns and rows (for example 3×3 or 3×1), choose which part of the photo the grid covers, and the tool slices it into equal 3:4 tiles in one ZIP. Post the tiles to Instagram in reverse order so the grid assembles cleanly on your profile.

Yes. Each tile is cut to the same 3:4 shape (up to 1080 × 1440 pixels), which is the shape Instagram shows on your profile grid, and the files are named by row and column so the grid lines up edge-to-edge with no visible seams on mobile or desktop.

Yes. Use 3 columns and 1 row to slice a wide panorama into three connected 3:4 posts that read as a continuous landscape when viewers visit your profile — popular with travel, real-estate and product launch accounts.

For full-size tiles in a 3×3 grid, upload an image of at least 3240 × 4320 pixels (3 tiles of 1080 × 1440 in each direction). Smaller photos are not enlarged; they simply give smaller tiles. For a 3×1 panorama, target 3240 × 1440 pixels.

Instagram displays your newest post in the top-left, so post the tiles in reverse order: bottom-right first, top-left last. The generator names the files by row and column, such as r1_c1 for the top-left tile and r3_c3 for the bottom-right — post them from the bottom-right tile back to the top-left.

Your photo is uploaded to our secure server, retained temporarily so the grid tiles can be generated and delivered, then removed under our Security policy. We never sell, reuse, or use it to train models. If a strict never-uploaded workflow is a hard requirement for unreleased campaign visuals, use an offline image editor with a built-in grid-slicing feature instead.

Use the Columns and Rows steppers to set any grid from 1×1 up to 10×10 — click the +/- buttons or type a number directly into the field. The live preview updates immediately so you can see exactly how your photo will be sliced before downloading, which is handy for wide multi-row murals or a five-post carousel spread.

They instantly set the Columns and Rows values to the most common Instagram grid shapes — 3×3 for a classic profile mural, 3×1 for a horizontal panorama split across three posts, and 2×2 for a smaller four-tile block. Tap a preset instead of manually adjusting both steppers when you want a standard layout.

Yes. As soon as you upload the image, the preview shows your whole photo with the grid area and its cut lines on top. Drag the box to choose which part becomes the grid, then check that no face or text falls right on a cut line before downloading.

Instagram shows every post on your profile grid as a 3:4 rectangle. A square or wide tile gets its sides trimmed there, and those trimmed strips are exactly where neighboring tiles should meet, so the picture breaks apart. Cutting every tile to 3:4 means the grid shows each tile in full and the pieces line up.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download one ZIP containing a tile archive per source image. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 images on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

The right pixel size only controls the file. The platform still decides what part of it shows in a feed, a preview card, or a circular profile mask — and each surface crops differently. Keep faces, logos and text inside the middle 80% of the frame so nothing important sits where a crop can reach it, and check the preview inside the app before you publish.

Instagram Grid Splitter supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Instagram Grid Splitter runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

You do not need an app. This page works in the browser on a phone or a computer: upload the photo from your gallery or files, set the columns and rows, split it and download the ZIP of tiles.

Upload one photo, set 3 columns and 3 rows for 9 pieces, or tap 3×1 for 3 pieces in a single row. Drag the grid area over the part to use and select Split my photo. Unzip the download and post the tiles in reverse order, last tile first, so they assemble into one picture on your profile.

Set Columns to 2 and Rows to 1, then drag the grid area over the part you want. A 3:2 photo from a camera fits that 2×1 grid exactly. You get a ZIP with 2 tiles cut to 3:4, with file names ending in r1_c1 and r1_c2, ready to post as a connected pair.

Every tile is cut to 3:4, the shape Instagram shows on the profile grid, so there is no 1:1 or 4:5 tile option. A 3:4 tile appears in full on the grid, which is why the pieces line up. For a single square or 4:5 post, use Instagram Resize instead.

This page cuts one photo apart. To combine several photos in one picture, use Photo Collage Maker, which has grid, side-by-side and strip layouts. Use this page when you want one picture to become a set of separate posts.

Yes. The tool never enlarges the photo, so tiles come out at the resolution it has, and a smaller photo simply gives smaller tiles. For full-size tiles of 1080 × 1440 pixels, the grid area needs to be about 3240 pixels wide and 4320 tall.

A ZIP file of JPG tiles, one per cell, with the row and column at the end of each name, such as r2_c3. The download opens on the result page. A transparent area in the photo turns white, because JPG cannot hold transparency.

This page splits a photo along a grid rather than drawing lines on it. Set Columns and Rows, drag the grid area box over the part to use and select Split my photo. The cut lines show only in the preview; the tiles you download have no lines on them, and you post them in reverse order so they assemble on your profile.
