What is an Instagram grid maker?

An Instagram grid maker (or image splitter) slices a single image into multiple equal tiles so you can post them as separate Instagram posts that line up into one seamless picture on your profile grid. It is how creators make puzzle feeds and panorama banners.

Is this Instagram grid maker free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, login, or watermark. Your image is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded to our servers.

What order do I post the tiles in?

Post them in reverse. Instagram shows your newest post in the top-left, so upload the highest-numbered tile first and tile 1 (the top-left of your image) last. The full image then assembles correctly top-left to bottom-right.

What image size works best for a 3x3 grid?

A square image around 1080x1080px or larger gives nine clean square tiles. For a 3x1 banner, use a wide image roughly 3:1; for 3x2, roughly 3:2. The tool divides whatever you upload into equal tiles.

How is this different from the grid previewer?

The grid previewer arranges multiple separate photos to plan a feed aesthetic. The grid maker takes one image and cuts it into tiles for a single seamless picture across several posts. Different jobs, often used together.

Will the tiles lose quality?

No. The tiles are cut at full resolution from your original image and exported as PNG, so each tile keeps the sharpness of the source. Instagram applies its own compression on upload, the same as any normal post.

Can I schedule the tiles instead of posting manually?

Yes. Posting tiles in exact reverse order by hand is fiddly, so most creators schedule them. PostEverywhere lets you queue every tile in the correct sequence and publish automatically to Instagram.

Pick a 3 × 1 banner, a 3 × 2 half-grid, or the classic 3 × 3, then download every tile. Because Instagram orders posts newest-first, post your tiles in reverse so the image assembles top-left to bottom-right.

How to Make a Grid Post on Instagram

Upload your image, choose a 3x1, 3x2, or 3x3 layout, and the tool slices it into numbered tiles. Download them all, then open Instagram and post the tiles in reverse order, starting with the highest number. Because Instagram places your newest post in the top-left, posting in reverse lines the tiles up into one seamless picture.

A grid post is a strong first impression: visitors see your whole profile before they read a single caption, so a striking puzzle feed can lift your follow rate. When you are ready to publish, schedule every tile in the right sequence instead of posting them by hand.
