Instagram Grid Splitter

The giant-image profile grid is one of Instagram's most striking layouts — and the fiddliest to produce by hand. Drop one image, choose 3×1 (banner), 3×2 or 3×3 (or a custom grid), and the tool centre-crops and slices it into tiles. The catch everyone trips on is order: Instagram shows your newest post first, so the tiles come numbered in posting order — post 01 (the bottom-right piece) first, and the mosaic assembles itself correctly as you post.

How to instagram Grid Splitter

  1. Drop a high-resolution image (at least ~1080px per tile column ideally).
  2. Choose the grid size and split.
  3. Preview the mosaic with posting numbers, then download the ZIP and post in order.

Frequently asked questions

Why is tile 01 the bottom-right?

Because the feed is reverse-chronological: your last post lands top-left. To end with the image reading correctly, the piece that belongs top-left must be posted last, and the bottom-right piece first. The numbers handle it — just post in order.

What resolution should the source be?

Each tile displays up to 1080px wide, so a 3-wide grid wants ≈3240px across for full sharpness. Smaller sources still work — tiles are simply softer.

Can I use other grid shapes?

Yes — rows and columns go to 6 each. Note Instagram profiles always show 3 columns, so column counts of 3 keep rows aligned on the profile page.
