Upload a single image, pick a 3×1, 3×2 or 3×3 grid layout, and the tool slices it into the right number of perfectly aligned square crops. Download each piece in order and post them to Instagram in reverse so the grid assembles cleanly on your profile.
usageYes. Each tile is exported at exactly 1080 × 1080 pixels — the native Instagram square — and the tool numbers the files in the posting order so the grid lines up edge-to-edge with no visible seams on mobile or desktop.
technicalYes. Use the 3×1 layout to slice a wide panorama into three connected square posts that read as a continuous landscape when viewers visit your profile — popular with travel, real-estate and product launch accounts.
socialFor a 3×3 grid, upload a square image of at least 3240 × 3240 pixels (3 × 1080). Anything smaller will be upscaled and may look soft. For a 3×2 grid, target 3240 × 2160 pixels.
technicalInstagram 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 1, 2, 3 from top-left to bottom-right — post them from highest number to lowest.
tipsYour photo is uploaded to our secure server so the grid tiles can be generated, then it is deleted automatically after processing — we never store, share, or reuse it. 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.
privacyUse 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.
featuresThey 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.
tipsYes. As soon as you upload the image and set Columns and Rows, the preview panel shows the exact grid overlay with your photo positioned across every tile, including tile numbering. Check the preview before downloading to confirm no important subject falls right on a seam between tiles.
