What does Image Splitter / Grid Maker do?
Image Splitter divides a large picture into equally sized tiles for Instagram grids, print panels, puzzles and web layouts. Select the number of rows and columns, preview the cut lines and download all pieces with clear row-and-column filenames. The tool also creates an optional posting-order guide.

Understand the result
How to read and refine the output
A 3×3 setting creates nine equal squares only when the source itself is square. Other aspect ratios create equal rectangular pieces. Instagram grid posts are commonly uploaded from the last tile to the first so the profile assembles correctly.
Practical advice
Tips for better results
- Crop to the final overall aspect ratio first.
- Use high-resolution source images.
- Keep critical details away from grid boundaries.
- Save the posting-order guide before uploading tiles.
Best-fit tasks
When to use Image Splitter / Grid Maker
- Splitting a design into social-media tiles
- Creating printable grids from one large image
- Dividing reference art into equal sections
Choose carefully
When another method may be better
Do not split first when the final platform will crop or resize the tiles unpredictably. Confirm target dimensions and safe areas before generating the grid.
Practical example
Example workflow
For a 3×3 grid, crop the source to the final overall aspect ratio first, then split so every tile has equal dimensions.
Important limitations
What this tool cannot guarantee
Social platforms may crop thumbnails differently and can change profile-grid presentation. The tool creates equal pixel divisions; dimensions that are not evenly divisible may differ by one pixel at an edge.
Common questions
