Perfect for Instagram Grids

Create Instagram grid layouts by splitting one large image into a 3x3, 4x4, or any custom arrangement. Note that Instagram's profile grid now displays tiles in a tall 3:4 ratio rather than the classic squares - the Instagram Grid preset outputs 3:4 pieces (1080×1440) so your mosaic lines up cleanly on the new grid. Upload them to Instagram in reverse order (bottom-right first) to create a cohesive mosaic on your profile page. This technique is popular with photographers, brands, and artists who want to create eye-catching profile layouts.

The Posting Order, Visualized

The counterintuitive part of a grid mosaic is that you post it backwards. The numbers below show the upload order for a 3x3 split; piece 1 is the bottom-right tile and piece 9, your final post, is the top-left:

Instagram puts each new post at the front, so posting in this order assembles the picture correctly.

One practical warning before committing: a grid mosaic occupies the top of your profile only until you post again, at which point the whole arrangement shifts by one tile and breaks. Brands that maintain grid layouts either plan posts in rows of three or accept the mosaic as a temporary showcase.

Beyond Instagram

The same splitter covers a few less obvious jobs: breaking a large image into printable sections that reassemble into a poster, cutting artwork into tiles for puzzle games, dividing a panorama into a continuous multi-slide carousel, and producing sprite pieces for simple game projects. Any job where one image needs to become several aligned rectangles is the same operation under the hood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grid sizes can I use? Any combination of rows and columns. Common presets include 3x3 for the nine-piece Instagram mosaic, 2x2 for simple splits, and custom sizes up to 10x10 for puzzles and poster tiling.
Do my images pass through a server when splitting? They do not. The image is sliced on an HTML5 canvas inside your browser, and each piece is generated and zipped on your device. A photo you split here has never existed anywhere but your own machine.
What format are the split pieces? All pieces are saved as high-quality PNG files to preserve sharpness and avoid compression artifacts at the seams, which matters when the tiles will sit next to each other and any edge difference would show.
What order do I post Instagram grid pieces in? Reverse order: bottom-right piece first, top-left piece last. Instagram places each new post at the front of the grid, so posting backwards makes the mosaic assemble correctly, with the top-left tile as your most recent post.
Why do my tiles look cropped on my Instagram profile? Instagram's profile grid now previews posts at a tall 3:4 ratio rather than the classic square. The Instagram Grid preset outputs 3:4 tiles at 1080 by 1440 so the mosaic lines up on the current grid; if you split into plain squares, the profile view will shave the tops and bottoms.
Can I split a panorama into a swipeable post instead of a grid? Yes, that is just a one-row split. Set rows to 1 and columns to 2 or 3, and the pieces become one continuous swipeable carousel where the photo flows across the slides.
