What image size works best?

Use a high-resolution image for best results. At least 1080×1080 px for a 1:1 grid. The tool outputs 1080 px tiles regardless of input size, so starting with a larger image preserves more detail.

In what order should I post the split images on Instagram?

Post from right to left, starting with the bottom-right tile and ending with the top-left. Instagram displays your most recent post in the top-left of your grid, so tile 1 (top-left in the result) should be posted last.

What grid size should I use for a carousel?

For a standard carousel post, use 1 row and as many columns as you want slides (up to 10). For a panoramic effect, use 1 row × 3 columns with a 16:9 ratio.

Can I use this for a 3×3 Instagram grid layout?

Yes — set rows and columns both to 3. Use 1:1 ratio for square tiles. You'll get 9 tiles that form a seamless image across your grid profile when posted in the correct order.

What formats are supported for download?

PNG (lossless, best for graphics and text) and JPG (smaller file size, best for photos). Both are supported by Instagram.

Yes, completely free with no account or signup required. Use it as many times as you need.
