Quick answer
Split one image into ordered grid tiles
Choose a grid such as 3×3, adjust the crop, and export numbered PNG, JPG, or WebP tiles in a clear posting order.
A profile grid can look different as new posts are added, and each platform may crop previews or display posts in a different order.

Social platforms can crop previews, change profile layouts, or display posts in a different order. Check the current platform preview and publish tiles in the order shown by the tool.
How to use it
- Choose an image and select a grid preset or custom row and column count.
- Adjust the crop so the important subject fits the grid.
- Generate the tiles, check the row-and-column filenames, and download them.
Common use cases
- Create a 3 × 3 Instagram-style profile grid
- Split artwork into carousel or print tiles
- Prepare a classroom or event reveal puzzle
- Export equal image sections for a layout
Choose Grid Dimensions Before Cropping
A 3 × 3 grid makes nine equal tiles, while a 2 × 3 grid makes six. The grid determines the required crop aspect ratio, so position the subject after choosing rows and columns.
| Grid | Tiles | Common planning use |
|---|---|---|
| 3 × 3 | 9 | Profile puzzle or nine-panel reveal |
| 2 × 3 | 6 | Six-panel layout or print assembly |
| 3 × 2 | 6 | Wide source split into six sections |
| 2 × 2 | 4 | Simple four-panel layout |
Download and Posting Order
The generated filenames and preview identify each tile by row and column. For a conventional 3 × 3 profile puzzle, publish from the bottom-right tile toward the top-left. A social platform may compress images or change its grid, so test with a preview or private workflow first.
- Avoid placing important text directly across tile edges.
- Use JPG for photo tiles and PNG for graphics that need crisp edges or transparency.
- Keep the source image and crop settings until the complete grid has been checked.
FAQ
Which posting order should I use for an Instagram profile grid?
For a conventional 3 × 3 profile puzzle, publish row 3 column 3 first, move right-to-left across the bottom row, then repeat for rows 2 and 1. Platform layouts can change, so preview before posting.
Can I move the crop before splitting?
Yes. Adjust the crop area so the subject and important edges fit the selected grid.
Which output formats are available?
You can export PNG, JPG, or WebP tiles. JPG is usually practical for photos; PNG is useful for graphics or transparency.
Are the image tiles uploaded?
No. The image is decoded and split locally in your browser.
