Cut one picture into square tiles for a seamless Instagram grid, without uploading it anywhere.
Processed on your device — nothing is sent anywhere.
How it works
- Drop an image onto the tool or click to pick one from your device.
- Choose a grid layout such as 3 × 3 or 3 × 1; the preview shows exactly where the image will be cut.
- Click Download ZIP to save all tiles as numbered full-resolution JPG files.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. The image is cropped and sliced entirely inside your browser using the canvas element, and the ZIP file is also built on your device. Nothing leaves your computer, so the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
- In what order should I post the tiles to Instagram?
- The tiles are numbered left to right, top to bottom, matching their position in the grid. Because Instagram shows your newest post at the top left of your profile, upload the highest-numbered tile first and finish with tile 01. That way the pieces line up correctly on your profile grid.
- Why is part of my image cropped away?
- Instagram profile tiles are square, so a 3 × 2 grid needs an exact 3:2 image and a 3 × 3 grid needs a square one. The tool center-crops your picture to the exact aspect ratio of the chosen layout, and the preview shows precisely what will be kept before you download.
- What resolution should each tile be for Instagram?
- Instagram displays feed images at up to 1080 pixels wide, so aim for tiles of at least 1080 × 1080. For a 3 × 3 grid that means starting from an image around 3240 pixels square or larger. The tool slices at full source resolution and never upscales, so the quality of your original photo carries straight through to the tiles.
- Will the grid line up perfectly on my profile?
- Yes, as long as every tile is posted in the right order and none are skipped. The cuts are pixel-exact, so seams align; the visible gap between posts is Instagram’s own grid spacing and appears on every profile. Note that adding a new post later shifts the whole grid by one position, so plan grids in complete rows.
About this tool
This image splitter cuts one picture into equal square tiles for a seamless Instagram profile grid. Choose a layout — 3 × 3 for a large mosaic, 3 × 2, 2 × 2, or 3 × 1 for a banner across a single row — and the tool shows exactly where the cuts will fall before you commit. One click downloads every tile as a numbered, full-resolution JPG inside a ZIP file.
The slicing happens entirely in your browser. The image is center-cropped to the precise aspect ratio of the chosen grid — square for 3 × 3, three-by-two for a 3 × 2 layout — then divided into tiles with the canvas element, and the ZIP archive is assembled locally as well. Your photo is never uploaded to a server, so unpublished campaign visuals and personal pictures stay on your device, and the whole process takes seconds even for large files.
Split grids are a staple of Instagram profile design: brands use a 3 × 3 mosaic to turn the top of their profile into one large announcement, photographers spread a panorama across a 3 × 1 row, and shops break a product lineup into tiles that double as individual posts. Because each tile is a normal post, every piece can carry its own caption while the profile view assembles them into a single image.
A few practical tips: post the tiles in reverse numerical order — highest number first — so tile 01 ends up in the top-left position, and publish the whole grid in one sitting to avoid a half-finished profile. Keep faces and key details away from the cut lines shown in the preview, since each boundary becomes a visible seam between posts. Finally, remember that every future post shifts your grid one position to the right, so complete rows of three keep older grids aligned.
