Instagram Image Splitter & Grid Maker

About the Instagram Image Splitter & Grid Maker

The Instagram Image Splitter helps you create stunning multi-post grid layouts for your Instagram feed. Split any image into perfect square or portrait grids, carousel posts, or custom layouts.

This tool is perfect for creating eye-catching Instagram content that spans multiple posts, making your profile more engaging and visually appealing. Whether you're a brand, influencer, or content creator, grid posts can significantly boost your Instagram presence.

What is an Instagram grid post?

An Instagram grid post is when a single large image is split into multiple smaller images and posted in sequence on your feed. When viewed on your profile, these posts align to form one cohesive large image across your grid.

Grid posts are highly effective for:
• Product launches and announcements
• Event promotions
• Portfolio showcases
• Brand storytelling
• Creating visual impact on your profile

What image size should I use?

For best results, use images with these dimensions:

• Square Grid: 1080×1080px or multiples (2160×2160px, 3240×3240px)
• Portrait Grid: 1080×1350px (4:5 ratio) or multiples
• Carousel: 1080×1080px minimum width

Higher resolution images will produce better quality when split. Instagram's maximum display size is 1080px wide, so starting with at least this resolution ensures crisp results.

How do I post the split images correctly?

To post your grid correctly:

1. Download all split pieces (as ZIP or individually)
2. Post them in the correct order: start with the LAST piece first
3. Post in reverse order (piece 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1 for a 3×3 grid)
4. This ensures they appear correctly when viewed on your profile

Tip: Number your pieces and use a scheduling tool like Later or Planoly to ensure correct posting order.

What's the difference between Grid and Carousel mode?

Grid Mode: Splits your image into a rectangular grid (e.g., 3×3, 3×4) where each piece is posted as a separate post. These appear as a large image when viewing your profile.

Carousel Mode: Splits your image horizontally into slides that users can swipe through in a single carousel post. All pieces are posted together in one post, not separately.

Grid mode is for profile aesthetics, while carousel mode is for single-post storytelling.

Can I create a panorama effect?

Yes! Use Carousel mode to create a panoramic image that users swipe through horizontally. This works great for:

• Landscape photography
• Wide product shots
• Before/after comparisons
• Timeline or process visualizations

Recommend using 3-10 slides for optimal engagement. Images wider than 10 slides may lose viewer attention.

What's the difference between Square and Portrait grid?

Square Grid (1:1 ratio): Creates a perfect square grid on your profile. Each piece is 1:1 ratio (e.g., 1080×1080px). Best for balanced, symmetrical layouts.

Portrait Grid (4:5 ratio): Creates a taller grid with portrait-oriented pieces (e.g., 1080×1350px). Takes up more screen space in the feed and profile, creating stronger visual impact.

Portrait grids are currently favored by Instagram's algorithm and offer 30% more screen real estate.
