Split one image into a profile grid, or chop a wide image into swipe-ready carousel slides. Same upload, two modes, numbered tiles in the order you should post them.
JPG, PNG, or WEBP | The preview crops to your chosen grid ratio before export
Splitting an image for Instagram usually means one of two things, and you decide which one before you export. A profile grid breaks the picture into separate posts that span multiple rows on your profile and turn the grid itself into the visual. A carousel keeps the whole thing inside one post and lets it unfold as someone swipes.
This tool handles both. Upload a hero image once, switch the mode, and the right crop math, cut preview, and numbered file output follows. Use the grid maker when you want a wider reveal across your profile, and the carousel splitter when you want one continuous swipe.
Start with one hero image, campaign visual, or wide panorama.
Profile grid for separate tiles, or carousel for one swipe post.
Download numbered files so the slides or tiles post in order.
The right layout for your Instagram mosaic depends on your source image and how much of your profile you want to dedicate to the split. Most people reach for a 3x3 grid maker because nine tiles fill exactly three rows and the puzzle graphic is visible the moment someone lands on the profile.
The standard choice for product launches, announcements, and portfolio highlights where the whole image should appear quickly.
Better for tall images like full-length fashion shots, infographics, or vertical campaign art that needs more room.
Best reserved for high-detail images like event posters, campaign murals, or long-form visual stories.
Whichever size you pick, the Instagram grid splitter handles the crop math and exports tiles named in the order you need to upload them. Profile previews can shift as Instagram changes its grid display, so keep faces, logos, and text away from tile edges. If you want to see how the tiles sit alongside your existing posts before publishing, use the Instagram grid planner for feed preview instead.
A carousel splitter works best when you have a single wide image that tells a story across the full frame: a panoramic landscape, a before-and-after comparison, a product lineup, or an infographic that is too detailed for one square. The slides line up as people swipe so the picture reads as one continuous frame.
Cityscapes, travel shots, and event photos that lose their impact when cropped to a single square. The carousel preserves the full scene.
Show a product from multiple angles in one continuous swipe, or stretch a hero shot across slides for a more dramatic first impression.
Long charts, timelines, and step-by-step visuals read better as a swipe sequence than as one compressed image.
Side-by-side comparisons that are too wide for a single frame. Split the image so each half fills its own slide.
If you are designing the source image yourself before splitting it, these are the canvas sizes that line up with current Instagram tile and slide dimensions. The tool will crop whatever you upload to fit, so starting from one of these sizes means the edges of your puzzle graphic do not get sliced off.
Instagram moved the profile grid to portrait tiles in 2024, so the new mosaic dimensions are taller than the classic square ones. Most accounts display the portrait grid now. The classic square dimensions are listed below as well in case your profile still shows that way.
Each tile is 1080 x 1350px, 4:5 portrait. Use these canvas sizes when you are designing a 3-column Instagram mosaic for profiles that show the current portrait grid.
Each tile is 1080 x 1080px, 1:1 square. Use these dimensions if your profile still shows the classic square grid or you are designing a square mosaic for archival reasons.
Each slide is 1080 x 1350px portrait. The total source width is the slide count multiplied by 1080px, so a continuous panorama lines up cleanly as someone swipes. Slides post in order from the first file.

Grid mode splits one image into separate tiles that appear as their own posts on your profile, so the whole picture spans multiple rows of the grid. Carousel mode splits a wide image into slides inside a single post that people swipe through. Same upload, two different ways the image lives on Instagram.
Switch to grid mode, keep the columns set to 3, choose 3 rows, and export the numbered tiles. The tool center-crops the image to match the chosen grid so the preview and the exported files line up.
A 3x3 grid splits one image into 9 tiles and fills exactly three rows on your profile. A 3x4 grid creates 12 tiles across four rows, and a 3x5 gives you 15 tiles across five rows. Taller grids work well for vertical images like portraits or full-length product shots where cropping to a square would lose too much.
Upload the exported files in reverse display order: start with tile 01 from the bottom-right corner and finish with the top-left tile last. That matches the way Instagram shows newest posts first on your profile.
Gap compensation trims a small amount between tiles to account for the visual gutters that appear on Instagram profiles. The color picker changes the preview guide only and does not add a colored border to the exported files.
Carousel mode lets you split one wide image into 2 to 10 Instagram carousel slides, which covers the usual panorama, swipe post, and storytelling formats creators use.
Yes. In carousel mode you can choose square, 4:5 portrait, or original proportions before you export. Square and portrait crops trim the image to Instagram-friendly slide sizes, while original keeps the source proportions and only splits the width.
Yes. In carousel mode you upload the finished wide artwork, set the number of slides, preview the cut lines, and download the slide images in order. It works best for one continuous image that should line up as people swipe.
Yes. It works as an image splitter and photo splitter for Instagram in both directions, profile grid tiles or carousel slides, depending on which mode you pick before you export.
The exported slides are standard JPEGs, so you can upload them to any platform that supports multi-image posts. The aspect ratio presets are optimized for Instagram, but square slides work well on LinkedIn and Facebook too.
Yes. Both the grid maker and the carousel splitter run entirely in your browser, process the image locally, and export tiles instantly. No account, no watermark, and no upload limit.
No. The tool runs in the browser and exports your tiles or slides instantly for free without requiring an account.
No. This tool splits one image into separate tiles or slides. If you want to arrange separate posts and preview a full feed layout before publishing, use an Instagram grid planner instead.
