About the Instagram Grid Maker

This grid maker turns one photo into a multi-post Instagram puzzle. It crops your image to the right proportions, slices it into a 3-wide grid — one, two, three or four rows tall — and exports square tiles sized for Instagram (up to 1080×1080).

The clever part is the numbering: Instagram shows your newest post at the top-left of your profile, so the tiles must be posted in reverse. Every tile is labelled and named with its posting order — upload Post #1 first and work up to the final tile, and the full image assembles perfectly on your grid.

The cropping and slicing all happen 100% locally in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded to any server and no account is required — you simply download the numbered tiles and post them yourself. Each tile is exported as a high-quality JPG at Instagram's recommended resolution, ready to upload without any further resizing or compression.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a picture for my Instagram grid?

Upload the picture, pick how many rows you want (the grid is always 3 posts wide), and generate. You get square tiles numbered in posting order — post them one by one and the image forms across your profile.

What order do I post Instagram grid tiles in?

Bottom-right first. Instagram places the newest post top-left, so the last tile you post becomes the top-left corner. This tool numbers every tile for you: simply post Post #1 first, then #2, and so on.

What size are the exported grid tiles?

Each tile is square and exported at up to 1080×1080 pixels, which is Instagram's recommended feed resolution. Smaller source photos produce proportionally smaller tiles without upscaling.

Will posting a grid crop parts of my photo?

The tool first crops your photo to the exact grid shape — for example 3:2 for a 3×2 grid — using your chosen focus point. Whatever you see in the preview is exactly what appears across the tiles.

Does an Instagram grid work with reels and other posts mixed in?

New posts shift your grid, so any post after the puzzle moves the tiles out of alignment. Grids work best on profiles where you can keep the top rows stable, or as a temporary visual campaign.
