Image Splitter

Split any image into a grid of equal pieces and download them all in a ZIP file — entirely in your browser, no upload required. Great for creating Instagram grid layouts, splitting sprite sheets, or dividing large images for printing.

How to use

1. Drop or click to choose an image.
2. Set the number of rows and columns.
3. Click Split Image — all pieces are bundled into a ZIP.
4. Download the ZIP and extract the individual image tiles.

Getting an Instagram grid right

The most common use for splitting is a multi-post grid, and the order catches everyone out once. A profile grid fills left to right, top to bottom, but posts appear newest first — so to assemble correctly you must upload the pieces in reverse order, starting with the bottom-right tile and finishing with the top-left.

Two other things worth knowing before you cut. Crop the source to the aspect ratio of the finished grid first, since a 3×3 grid of square tiles needs a square source — feeding in a 16:9 photo produces stretched or unevenly cropped pieces. And check how the tiles look individually: each one is also a standalone post in the feed, and a grid that reads beautifully on a profile page can look like nine meaningless fragments to a follower scrolling past.

Uneven dimensions

Image dimensions rarely divide cleanly by the number of rows and columns. A 1000-pixel width split into 3 gives 333.33 pixels per column, and pixels cannot be fractional — so the remainder is distributed rather than discarded, leaving some tiles a pixel wider or taller than others. This is invisible in practice, but if you need every piece to be exactly identical, resize the source to a multiple of your grid first with the image resizer.

Beyond social grids

Splitting is equally useful for cutting a sprite sheet into individual frames, dividing a large diagram or poster across several printed pages, breaking a scanned contact sheet into separate photographs, and slicing a wide panorama into segments. All the pieces arrive in a single ZIP with predictable sequential names, so they stay in order when extracted and sort correctly in any file manager.
