How to use the image splitter
- 1 Drop an image on the box, or click browse to choose it from your device.
- 2 Choose a preset or set the number of rows and columns, and pick the file format.
- 3 Check the grid lines on the preview to see where the image will be cut.
- 4 Press Download tiles to get all the pieces in a ZIP file, numbered from top left.
Planning a grid or panorama
Crop the picture to the exact ratio of your grid before splitting, for example square for three by three, with Crop Image. To do the opposite and join several photos into one, use the Collage Maker.
- Keep important faces and text away from the cut lines.
- Post grid tiles in reverse order so they line up.
- Use PNG for graphics with text to keep edges crisp.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an Instagram grid?
Choose the three by three preset and download the tiles. Post them starting from the last tile, row three column three, and finish with the first, so they line up correctly on your profile.
What size should my image be for an Instagram grid?
A square image works best, ideally at least three thousand two hundred and forty pixels wide, so each tile is at least one thousand and eighty pixels.
How do I make a swipeable panorama?
Choose the panorama preset with one row and three columns. A wide image with a ratio of three to one splits into three square posts.
Are all tiles exactly the same size?
They are as equal as possible. If the width or height does not divide evenly, the last row or column is up to one pixel different.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Each tile is cut from the original pixels. Choose PNG to avoid any compression, or keep the original format.
In what order are the tiles named?
They are named by row and then column, starting at the top left, for example row one column one, then row one column two.
Can I split an image on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your mobile browser, choose a photo and download the ZIP, then unzip it in your files app.
Is my image uploaded to be split?
No. The cutting and the ZIP file are done in your browser, so your picture never leaves your device.
How this tool works. These image tools run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API built into every modern browser, the open-source libheif decoder for iPhone HEIC photos and Tesseract, a widely used open-source OCR engine, for reading text. Each tool is tested with real phone photos, screenshots and scans before it goes live, and nothing you open is sent to a server.
