Image Splitter (Grid Maker)
Slice an image into a grid of equal tiles — for an Instagram grid, a print you will assemble, or just cutting one picture into parts.
One image, many pieces
Splitting an image into a neat grid has a few uses. The popular one is the Instagram grid post, where a single large image is cut into squares that line up into one picture across your profile. It is also how you would break a poster-sized image into printable pages, or carve a sprite sheet into individual frames.
Choose how many rows and columns, and the image is divided into equal tiles you can download as a set, numbered so you know the order they go back together in.
Getting the grid right
For a profile grid, plan around the platform's layout — three columns is the usual canvas. For printing across pages, match the grid to your paper size so the pieces tile without awkward gaps. Either way, starting from a high-resolution image keeps each tile sharp, since every piece is only a fraction of the original.
How to split an image into pieces
- Add the picture you want divided.
- Choose the grid — how many rows and columns.
- Download the pieces, numbered in order.
Grids, tiles and puzzles
Splitting turns one picture into an evenly cut set. The best-known use is the Instagram grid, where a single wide image is posted as three or nine tiles that reassemble on your profile. It is also how people make puzzle pieces, print a large poster across several sheets, or cut a sprite sheet apart.
Because the pieces are exported in order, posting them in reverse is what makes an Instagram grid assemble correctly — the last tile you post ends up top-left.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make an Instagram grid?
Split the image into three columns (or a 3x3 grid) and post the pieces in reverse order so they reassemble correctly on your profile.
Are the pieces exactly equal?
Yes, the image is divided evenly across your chosen rows and columns.
Can I split any image size?
Yes, though very small images produce pieces too small to be useful.
What can I use a split image for?
Instagram grid posts, tiling a large image across printed pages, or cutting a sheet into separate frames.
How do I choose the grid?
Set the number of rows and columns, and the image is divided into that many equal tiles.
Are the tiles uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitting happens in your browser and the tiles are saved straight to your device.
