Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this for an Instagram grid post?

Upload a square or wide image, choose a 3x3 grid, and download the ZIP. Upload the pieces to Instagram as a carousel post in reverse order (piece 9 first, piece 1 last) so they display correctly when viewed left-to-right on your profile grid.

Does my image need to be a specific size or ratio for the grid to work?

No, any image works. The tool divides whatever dimensions you upload into equal tiles. For a cleaner result with no uneven edges, uploading an image whose dimensions are divisible by your grid count (e.g., a 3000x3000 pixel image for a 3x3 grid) gives perfectly even pieces.

What format are the split pieces saved in?

The pieces are saved as PNG files inside a ZIP archive. PNG is used to preserve image quality without additional compression artifacts across the pieces.

Can I split a rectangular (non-square) image?

Yes. The tool splits whatever image you upload into the grid you choose, regardless of aspect ratio. Each tile will be proportionally sized based on the total image dimensions divided by your row and column count.

Is the image splitter good for making jigsaw-style puzzle pieces?

The tool produces rectangular grid pieces rather than jigsaw-shaped pieces. For grid puzzles, mosaic art, or tiled displays it works perfectly. For classic jigsaw puzzle shapes you'd need a specialized puzzle-cutting tool.
