Make an Instagram grid from one picture
An Instagram grid maker cuts a single picture into square tiles that line up as a larger image on your profile. Instagram shows posts three across, so a 3×3 grid needs nine tiles and a single row needs three — each posted separately, but read together the moment someone opens your profile.
Choose the layout and the preview shows the whole picture with the cut lines drawn over it. This is the part that usually goes wrong: a face or a logo lands exactly on a seam and is split down the middle in the finished grid. Drag the preview to shift the picture, or zoom to change the crop, until every tile holds something worth looking at on its own.
Tiles export at 1080 × 1080 pixels, the size Instagram serves for square posts. The files are numbered in reading order — and that is the order you need to reverse when posting. Instagram fills the profile from the top left with the newest post, so upload the last tile first and work backwards; the grid then assembles itself correctly as each post lands.
A grid works best with a picture that has room to breathe: a landscape, a poster, a wide product shot, a piece of typography. Remember that every tile is also a post in its own feed, so it should not look like a random fragment. Many accounts use a 3×1 row as a chapter break between normal posts rather than committing the whole profile to one picture.
Everything is cut on the canvas in your browser. The photo is never uploaded, there is no account, no watermark and no limit on how often you use it — and once the page has loaded it keeps working with the connection switched off.

Three for a single row, six for two rows, nine for a full 3×3 block. Instagram always shows three posts per row, so grids are built in multiples of three.
Backwards. The newest post appears top left, so upload the last-numbered tile first and work down to the first — the grid then assembles the right way round.
1080 × 1080 pixels, the size Instagram delivers for square posts. Exporting larger has no benefit because Instagram re-compresses it anyway.
Yes — every tile is cut from the same original at the same scale. Instagram shows a small gap between posts, which the preview reproduces so you know what to expect.
No. The picture is cut in your browser and never leaves your device; the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
Yes — switch to side-by-side mode, or use the image splitter, which starts in that layout and also offers 3:4 and 4:5 slides.
