How does Instagram Grid Splitter work?
Our Instagram Grid Splitter automatically divides your image into perfectly sized squares for Instagram posts. Whether you want a 3x3 grid for your profile or a carousel post, we handle the aspect ratios and add padding when needed to ensure your images look perfect on Instagram.
What splitting methods are available?
Our tool offers three splitting methods: Grid (predefined layouts like 3×3, 3×2, etc.), Carousel (for Instagram's multi-image posts with 2-10 slides), and Custom (where you can define any grid size from 1×1 up to 10×10). Each method is optimized for different creative needs.
Why add padding to images?
When your image dimensions don't match the perfect grid ratio, we add padding to the entire image before splitting. This ensures your complete image is visible without any cropping. The padding creates a background that frames your image, maintaining the correct aspect ratio for Instagram's grid layout.
How to post grid images on Instagram?
After splitting your image, download all the pieces and upload them to Instagram in the correct order (starting from the bottom-right if you want the grid to appear correctly on your profile). For carousels, simply select multiple images when creating a post.
What image formats are supported?
Our tool supports all major image formats including JPEG/JPG, PNG, and WebP. The output images are saved in high quality to ensure your Instagram posts look crisp and professional.
Tips for best results
For best results, use high-resolution images (at least 1080x1080 pixels for single posts). Consider your grid layout when composing your image - important elements should not fall on the split lines. Use the preview to adjust settings before downloading.
