How to split an image into a grid
- Drop your picture into the box, choose a file, or paste one.
- Set the number of Rows and Columns, or pick a ready grid such as 3 across for an Instagram carousel. The preview draws the cut lines and numbers each tile.
- Download the zip and unpack it. The tiles are numbered in reading order.
Getting square tiles
Each tile is a slice of your picture, so tiles only come out square when the image has the same proportions as the grid. Divide the columns by the rows to get the shape you need, then crop the image to that ratio before splitting.
| Grid (columns × rows) | Image shape for square tiles |
|---|---|
| 3 × 1 | 3:1, a wide strip |
| 3 × 2 | 3:2, a typical landscape photo |
| 3 × 3 | 1:1, square |
| 3 × 4 | 3:4, portrait |
Other things to do with a grid
- Swipeable panoramas. One row and two to ten columns turns a wide photo into slides that join up as people swipe through a carousel post.
- Posters on a home printer. Split a large picture into a 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 grid, print each tile on its own sheet and tape them together.
- Puzzles and games. Cut a photo into pieces for a sliding puzzle or a classroom activity.
- Sprite sheets. If the frames are evenly spaced, matching rows and columns separates them into single images.
