One picture, a whole grid
Instagram profile grids and seamless carousels are just one image, cut carefully. This tool does the cutting in your browser: for a 3 × 3 grid it crops the centre of your picture to the grid's 3:4 shape, slices it into nine 3:4 tiles — the size Instagram now uses for profile-grid posts — and, crucially, numbers the tiles in posting order: post tile 01 first (it lands bottom-right) and the picture assembles itself as you go. The carousel preset slices a panorama into three 4:5 panels that swipe seamlessly, and custom mode splits any image into an even rows × columns grid for printing or puzzles.
How to use it
- Add your image — wide panoramas for carousels, anything reasonably large for grids.
- Pick the layout. The preview shows every tile with its posting number.
- Split, then download the ZIP (tiles named in posting order) or individual tiles.
- Post 01 first, then 02, and so on. For a grid, delete nothing mid-sequence — the picture only assembles when all nine are up.
Sizing notes
Grid tiles come out at the largest 3:4 crop your image allows — feed it at least 1080 × 1440 for full-quality posts. The crop is centred: if your subject sits at an edge it may be cut, so check the preview numbers against the picture before downloading.
