How to split one photograph into numbered tiles

  1. Pick the image shape

    Use a wide scene for a three-across strip or a square composition for a four- or nine-tile grid.

  2. Set the grid

    Choose the layout and a square tile size of 1080, 1440 or 2048 px.

  3. Review the seams

    Check faces, logos and lettering where the cells meet. Save the numbered JPEGs.

Design for the spaces between tiles

Position the important details inside individual cells while a larger shape or scene continues across the grid.

Create a panoramic carousel

Choose three across and check the opening tile on its own. It needs to work before anyone swipes.

Plan a collection reveal

Keep a short collection name inside a single tile so separate crops preserve its lettering.

Show an architectural detail

Use the four-tile layout when a repeating pattern or facade can continue across two rows.

Hand off a scheduled series

Give the scheduler the numbered images together with the intended arrangement.

Instagram grid splitter FAQ

How do I keep the image aligned when I post the tiles?

Use the preview to match each numbered tile to its position. Check the crop on your own profile before posting the full set. A different thumbnail aspect ratio can cut into the edges.

How are the files numbered?

Numbering starts at the top left, moves across each row and then continues on the next row.

Why did part of my picture disappear?

The picture is centre-cropped to fill the full grid before slicing. Match its proportions to the chosen arrangement to keep more of the edges.

Does file order equal posting order?

The numbers describe positions in the design. Publishing order depends on whether you are arranging a carousel or a profile grid.

What type of files do I get?

Each tile downloads as a separate square JPEG. The selected tile size applies to every file in the set.

How can I check where a face will split?

Look at the grid preview before downloading. If a seam cuts through a face, reposition the subject in the source image and split it again.

Can I use three tiles as a horizontal carousel?

Yes. Choose the three-across layout, then use its three numbered tiles from left to right when arranging the carousel.
