How to use the image splitter

  1. Choose an image

    Select, drop or paste the picture you want to split. Large photos and panoramas work best.

  2. Pick a grid

    Use Instagram grid (3 × 3), Panorama (3 × 1) or Four parts, or set your own rows and columns.

  3. Choose the tile shape

    Keep the original proportions or crop to 1:1, 4:5 or 3:4. The shaded area in the preview is what gets cropped.

  4. Check the numbering

    Profile order numbers tiles in the order to post them; reading order is for carousels.

  5. Split and download

    Press Split image, then download the tiles one by one or all together as a ZIP.

What is an image splitter?

An image splitter cuts one picture into equal tiles. Presets cover the common jobs: a 3 × 3 grid that rebuilds the picture across nine posts on an Instagram profile, a 3 × 1 panorama for a swipeable carousel, and four equal parts. Or set any number of rows and columns from 1 to 10.

You can keep the image's own proportions or crop it around the centre so every tile is square (1:1), 4:5 portrait or 3:4. The preview shades what will be cropped, draws the cut lines and numbers each tile. For a profile grid the numbers are posting order: Instagram puts the newest post first, so tile 1 is the bottom-right piece and the top-left piece goes up last. For carousels the numbers run left to right. Files are named the same way (for example photo-01-r3c3.jpg) and download one by one or together as a ZIP. Tiles wider than 1080 px can be resized to Instagram's 1080 px width.

Limits: one image per run, up to 10 × 10 tiles, and every tile must be at least 16 px. The crop is always centred. Splitting doesn't post anything for you, and the grid only lines up on your profile if the nine posts go up in order with nothing posted between them. Animated GIFs use their first frame.

Why use an image splitter?

A split-grid post makes a profile look planned, and a panorama carousel lets people swipe through a wide shot at full height instead of seeing a thin strip. Getting there by hand means cropping nine pieces to exact pixel boundaries and keeping track of the order. This tool does the maths, shows you the result first and names the files in the order to post them.

Image splitter: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

In what order do I post the tiles for an Instagram grid?

Post tile 01 first and finish with the highest number. Instagram shows your newest post at the top left, so the first post you make ends up at the bottom right. The file names follow this order, so post them by name.

Which tile shape should I pick for my Instagram profile?

Instagram's profile grid now shows posts as 3:4 portrait thumbnails, so 3:4 tiles line up best on the profile. Choose 1:1 for the classic square grid. The Instagram grid preset starts on 3:4.

How do I post a panorama as a carousel?

Choose the Panorama preset, which cuts the picture into 3 square slides numbered left to right. Add all three to one post in that order and the picture continues as people swipe. Use more columns for a very wide panorama.

Will splitting reduce the quality of my photo?

Each tile is cut directly from the image at full resolution (photos over about 16.7 megapixels are first scaled down to that, the most a browser can safely draw). PNG keeps it exactly; JPG and WebP at 92% quality look the same to the eye. If you leave the 1080 px option on, larger tiles are resized to Instagram's width, which Instagram would do anyway.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The image is cut into tiles in your browser and the ZIP is made there too. Our server only counts runs for the daily free limit.

Is the image splitter free?

You get one free run per tool per day. After that, each run costs 5 credits from a free AI Rank Lab account. Trying grids and shapes in the preview is free; a run is only used when you press Split image.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. Download the tiles one at a time to save them to your photo library, or download the ZIP to your Files app. iPhone HEIC photos are supported.

Can I split several images at once?

No, it splits one image per run, so the numbering stays clear. Run it again for the next image.
