Slice an image into a grid
Splitting an image into tiles is useful more often than you might expect: a panorama posted as a seamless Instagram carousel, a large poster printed across several sheets, a puzzle for a classroom, or a big image divided into smaller parts for a website.
Set the number of columns and rows, from 1 to 20 each, and the tool divides the image into equal tiles. Each tile is named with its row and column, so reassembling or posting them in order is straightforward.
How to split an image
Step 1: Drop an image
Use the highest resolution version available, since each tile is a fraction of it.
Step 2: Set columns and rows
Choose 1 to 20 of each; the tool shows how many pieces you will get.
Step 3: Split
The image is cut into equal tiles and shown in a preview grid.
Step 4: Download
Click a tile to download it, or download all tiles as a ZIP.
Splitter options
Up to 20 by 20
Anything from a 1 x 2 split to 400 tiles.
Equal tiles
Every tile has the same pixel size.
Ordered file names
Tiles are named name_r1c1, name_r1c2 and so on.
Format kept
PNG and WebP stay as they are; other formats are saved as JPEG.
Ways to use split images
Instagram carousels. Split a wide panorama into square slides that swipe seamlessly.
Profile grids. Create a large picture spread across several posts.
Printing posters. Print a big image on several sheets and tape them together.
Puzzles and games. Make simple picture puzzles for kids or classrooms.
Planning an Instagram carousel or grid
For a seamless carousel, split a wide image into columns only (for example 3 columns by 1 row) and make sure each tile matches the post shape you want. A 3240 by 1080 pixel panorama split into 3 columns gives three perfect 1080 by 1080 squares.
For a profile grid, use 3 columns, since the grid shows three posts per row. Post the tiles starting from the last one (bottom right) so they appear in the right order. Current app versions show profile thumbnails as vertical rectangles rather than squares, so check how your tiles are cropped before posting.
- Carousel: N columns by 1 row.
- Profile grid: 3 columns by N rows, posted in reverse order.
- Print: match the grid to your paper layout.
Why edge pixels may be trimmed
Tiles are the image width divided by the column count and the height divided by the row count, rounded down to whole pixels. If the image does not divide evenly, up to a few pixels at the right and bottom edges are left out.
To avoid that, resize or crop the image first so its dimensions are multiples of the column and row counts, for example 3000 by 2000 pixels for a 3 by 2 grid.
Tips for splitting images
- Keep important subjects away from the cut lines when possible.
- Use a high resolution source; each tile is only part of the original.
- For print, add a little overlap by leaving margins in your design.
- Download the ZIP to keep all tiles together with ordered names.
Image splitter FAQ
How many pieces can I create?
Up to 20 columns and 20 rows, so as many as 400 tiles.
Are all tiles the same size?
Yes. Each tile has the same width and height in pixels.
How are the tiles named?
With row and column numbers, such as photo_r1c1.jpg, photo_r1c2.jpg and so on.
What format are the tiles?
PNG stays PNG, WebP stays WebP, and other formats are saved as JPEG.
Why is my tile slightly smaller than expected?
Sizes are rounded down to whole pixels, so a few pixels at the edges can be trimmed when the image does not divide evenly.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Splitting happens in your browser.
