Image Grid Splitter - Split Photo into Tiles

How to use this tool

1. Upload an image.
2. Set the number of columns and rows for the grid.
3. Preview the grid overlay on your image.
4. Download all PNG tiles as a ZIP, or use the individual tile buttons.

How image grid splitting works

Choose the number of columns and rows to divide a source image into a regular grid. The preview draws the cut lines over the image, and the approximate tile size updates with the grid. When you split it, each cell is copied to a canvas and encoded as a PNG. You can download the whole set in a ZIP archive or save a single tile from the individual download list. The image stays in your browser during this process; it is not sent to a server.

Tile dimensions use whole pixels. For example, splitting a 1001-pixel-wide image into three columns makes the first two columns 333 pixels wide and the last 335 pixels wide. The splitter adds leftover pixels to the last column and last row, so no edge pixels are discarded. This means tiles along the bottom or right edge can be slightly larger than the approximate size shown above the preview.

A 3×3 grid is commonly used for profile puzzles, while 2×1 and 3×1 grids suit diptychs and panoramas. This tool cuts equal rows and columns; it does not crop, add spacing, or create overlap between tiles. For an Instagram profile layout, start with a square image and upload the resulting tiles from bottom-right to top-left. Crop a non-square source first if you need a square composition.

Use cases for image splitting

Common uses include:

• Instagram 9-grid puzzle posts: upload a panoramic image as 9 individual grid tiles that form one image on your profile; crop first if you need a square composition
• Print-at-home posters: divide an image across multiple pages; plan for page margins and trim edges because the tiles have no print bleed or overlap
• Tiled backgrounds: create repeating tile assets for web backgrounds or game textures
• Photomosaic preparation: split a reference image into tiles to guide placement of component photos
• Sprite sheet creation: divide a sprite sheet into individual frames for game or animation use

Grid options guide

Use a preset for a common arrangement or adjust the row and column sliders for any grid from 1×1 through 9×9. The grid table describes typical uses; the image splitter does not change the image's aspect ratio before dividing it.

Reassembly tip

Downloaded files use names such as photo_r1_c1.png, photo_r1_c2.png, and photo_r2_c1.png. The row and column numbers start at 1, making the files easy to place during manual reassembly. For Instagram grid posts, upload tiles from bottom-right to top-left. Instagram places the newest post at the top of the profile, so reverse upload order makes the full image read correctly.
