-
1
Upload one photo
Pick an image from your phone or computer. It opens in your browser and stays on your device.
-
2
Choose the grid
3x1 gives one row of 3 tiles, 3x2 gives 6 tiles and 3x3 gives 9. Instagram profiles are 3 columns wide, so every option is 3 tiles across.
-
3
Pick the tile shape
3:4 (1080x1440) matches the current Instagram profile grid. 4:5 (1080x1350) and 1:1 (1080x1080) are there if you prefer the classic post sizes.

Download and post in order
Save tiles one by one or all at once as a ZIP. Post tile 1 first, then 2, and so on. The numbers already follow posting order.
What the grid maker does
3:4 tiles for the new grid
The 1080x1440 option matches the portrait thumbnails Instagram now shows on profiles, so the seams line up cleanly.
Classic sizes too
4:5 at 1080x1350 and 1:1 at 1080x1080 for accounts that still plan their feed around these shapes.
Automatic center crop
If your photo is a different shape from the grid, the tool crops it to fit and keeps the middle. Leave some space around your subject.
Numbered in posting order
Each file carries its posting number, so you never have to work out which piece goes first.
Single tiles or one ZIP
Download just the tile you need, or grab the full set in one ZIP file.
Private by design
The split happens in your browser. Your photo never reaches our servers.
Free, no account

When to use an Instagram grid
Product launch
Spread one bold launch visual across 3 or 6 tiles so visitors see the full picture the moment they land on your profile.
Shop or restaurant opening
Turn a storefront or menu photo into a 9 tile wall that announces the opening.
New season or rebrand
Open Ramadan, Eid or a new brand look with a single image that spans a full row or more.
Event and offer teasers
Post the tiles over a day and let followers watch the image come together.
How Instagram grid posts work
Your Instagram profile shows posts in 3 columns, and every new post takes the first spot at the top left. A grid post is one image cut into pieces that you publish as separate posts. Once all the pieces are live, they sit side by side and form the full picture. Because the newest post always comes first, you publish the last piece of the image first (the bottom right) and the top left piece last. This tool numbers the files in that order for you.
Instagram’s profile grid now shows thumbnails as 3:4 portrait rectangles instead of squares. A 3:4 tile (1080x1440) shows in full there, so the edges meet exactly. 4:5 and 1:1 tiles are trimmed a little in the profile view, so the joins can look slightly off, even though each post still shows in full when someone opens it. If the profile look matters most, choose 3:4.
Keep the grid intact: post all the tiles in one sitting, then post in multiples of 3 afterwards so every row stays aligned. A single extra post shifts every tile one spot along. Pinned posts also appear first on your profile, so unpin them or plan around them before you start.
Keep text and faces away from the cut lines, because each tile is also seen on its own in the feed. Need other sizes? Try the image resizer, or turn a wide photo into one swipeable post with the carousel splitter.
Instagram grid maker FAQs
Is the grid maker free?
Yes. It is free to use with no signup and no account.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is cut into tiles inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Which tile shape should I pick?
Pick 3:4 (1080x1440) if you want the grid to line up on your profile, since it matches the current profile thumbnails. Pick 4:5 (1080x1350) or 1:1 (1080x1080) if you plan your feed around those shapes.
In what order do I post the tiles?
Follow the numbers on the files: post 1 first, then 2, and so on. Tile 1 is the last piece of the picture (bottom right), because Instagram puts each new post at the top left.
Can I move the photo to choose the crop?
Not in this tool. It crops from the center. If your subject sits near an edge, crop the photo yourself first or leave more space around it.
Why does my grid look slightly misaligned on my profile?
Usually because the tiles are 4:5 or 1:1 and Instagram trims them to 3:4 in the profile view. Use 3:4 tiles, and check that no other post or pinned post landed between the pieces.
Why does my grid look reversed for some followers?
When someone’s Instagram app is set to Arabic, it may lay the grid out right to left, which swaps the tiles within each row for them. If your audience uses both Arabic and English, check your profile in both languages and choose a design that still reads well either way.
Can I make more than 9 tiles?
No. The tool offers 3x1, 3x2 and 3x3, so up to 9 tiles, which fill three full rows of your profile.
Will each tile look fine on its own in the feed?
Each tile also appears alone in your followers’ feeds, where a slice can look unfinished. Mention in the caption that the post is part of a bigger picture on your profile, and keep key details away from the cut lines.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser, so it works on phones and computers.
