Instagram Grid Maker & Image Splitter guide & practical tips

What Is an Instagram Grid Maker?

An Instagram grid maker—or Instagram image splitter—turns one composition into several connected posts. Choose 3, 6, or 9 tiles for a panorama, artwork reveal, launch, or profile mosaic, then preview both the complete image and each individual crop before downloading.

What Changed in the New Instagram Grid?

Instagram moved profile previews away from the classic square-only grid to a taller layout and later added native 3:4 photo support. Square 1:1 and portrait 4:5 posts remain available, but connected mosaics must be planned around the shape shown on the profile. Instagram mode therefore uses three columns and exports each tile at 3:4, or 1080×1440 pixels.

Split Privately and Post in the Right Order

The photo is cropped and split in your browser without being uploaded to Art Grid Maker. For a traditional chronological profile, post the numbered files from the visual bottom-right toward the top-left. If Reorder grid is available on your account, you can arrange them afterward; either way, check the live profile before publishing a long sequence.

Choose 3, 6, or 9 Instagram posts

Use the smallest layout that gives the composition enough room and that you can publish without interrupting the sequence.

OptionBest forNotes
3×1Short sequenceUseful for panoramas, triptychs, and compact announcements.
3×2Medium revealAdds visual area without requiring a full nine-post campaign.
3×3Nine-tile gridA full nine-post profile takeover for artwork, launches, and portfolio features.
3×4 or 3×5Extended gridBest for planned Pro campaigns with enough content and publishing time.

Instagram publishing compatibility check

Instagram changes profile presentation and publishing controls independently of this splitter. Review the final tiles in the current app before committing to a multi-post sequence.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Instagram grid maker?

An Instagram grid maker, also called an Instagram image splitter, divides one photo into connected posts. Upload a composition, choose a 3×1, 3×2, or 3×3 layout, preview the seams, and download numbered tiles that rebuild the full image on your profile.

Did Instagram change the profile grid ratio?

Yes. Instagram moved profile previews away from the old square-only grid to a taller layout and later added native 3:4 photo support. Square 1:1 and portrait 4:5 posts still work, but this tool's Instagram mode uses 3:4 tiles for the updated vertical Instagram grid.

What size are the Instagram grid tiles?

Instagram mode exports each tile at 1080×1440 pixels, a 3:4 portrait ratio. A three-column source should therefore be at least 3240 pixels wide for the best available detail, although the final result still depends on the quality of the uploaded image.

How does the Instagram posting order work?

For a traditional consecutive upload, start with the tile labeled Post #1 at the visual bottom-right and finish with the top-left tile. If your account offers Reorder grid, you can arrange posts from the profile instead. Check the current Instagram grid preview before publishing the full set.

Which Instagram grid layouts are included?

Instagram mode includes free 3×1, 3×2, and 3×3 layouts for 3, 6, or 9 posts; Pro adds 3×4 and 3×5 campaigns. Custom mode is free up to 3×3 and expands to 6×6 with Pro.

Can custom grid tiles be square?

Yes. Custom mode defaults to square 1:1 tiles and also supports 4:5 and 3:4 portrait tiles. Instagram mode uses the updated 3:4 profile-tile format.

Does my image leave my browser?

No. Cropping, tile creation, preview, and ZIP packaging happen locally in the browser. The original image is not uploaded to Art Grid Maker for splitting.

How can I keep important details away from tile seams?

Use the assembled preview before export and reposition the crop where available. Keep faces, small text, signatures, and focal details comfortably inside individual tiles rather than directly on a boundary.

Can I publish the tiles on an existing profile?

Yes, but existing and newly added posts affect the visible arrangement. Check the current Instagram grid, publish the entire sequence without unrelated posts in between, and confirm Instagram's current profile presentation before launch.
