How to split an image into a grid
- Drop an image on the box above.
- Set the number of columns and rows. The preview shows the cut lines and numbers each tile.
- Choose a tile shape. Keep image shape uses the whole picture; the other options crop the edges slightly so every tile is exactly square or portrait.
- Click Download tiles (ZIP). Each file is named with its number, row and column.
What people use it for
Splitting a wide panorama or poster into tiles lets you post it as a seamless grid or carousel, print a large image across several sheets of paper, or cut a sprite sheet into separate frames. Teachers use it to make picture puzzles, and designers use it to slice mock-ups into equal parts.
Tiles are cut at the full resolution of your image, so nothing is resized. If the width does not divide evenly by the number of columns, the last few pixels at the edge are dropped so every tile is the same size.
Posting a grid on Instagram
Instagram shows the newest post first, at the top left of your profile. To make the full picture appear, upload the tiles in reverse order: start with the highest number (bottom right) and finish with tile 1. Since 2025 the profile grid shows posts as 3:4 portrait thumbnails, so choose the 3:4 tile shape for a seamless look there; choose square if you post into a feed that shows the full 1:1 tile.
All slicing happens in your browser. The image is never uploaded.
What is the best grid for a panorama?
Use 3 columns and 1 row for a profile grid, or up to 10 columns and 1 row for a swipeable Instagram carousel.
Will the tiles lose quality?
No resizing happens. PNG keeps tiles pixel-perfect; JPEG uses 92% quality.
Why are the edges of my image cut off?
You picked a tile shape that differs from your image's shape. Choose "Keep image shape" to use the whole picture.
