Split an Image Into a Grid
Cut a single picture into an even grid of tiles you can post or print separately. Set the number of columns and rows, up to ten each, and watch a live grid overlay show exactly where the cuts fall. Every tile is cropped from the original at full resolution and named by its row and column, and the whole job runs in your browser so the picture never leaves your device.
How to split an image into a grid
- Drop an image onto the drop zone, or click it to browse for a PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or BMP.
- Use the Columns and Rows steppers to set the grid, from 1 up to 10 in each direction.
- Pick an output format: PNG for lossless tiles, or JPEG or WebP for smaller files.
- Check the live preview, where white grid lines mark every cut before you export.
- Click a single tile to save just that piece, or use Download all to save the whole set in order.
Examples
Instagram 3x3 grid
A 1080x1080 image, 3 columns by 3 rows
Nine 360x360 tiles named photo-r1-c1 through photo-r3-c3
A wide banner cut into a strip
A 1500x500 image, 3 columns by 1 row
Three 500x500 tiles side by side
Sizes that do not divide evenly
A 1000x1000 image, 3 columns by 3 rows
Most tiles 333x333, with the last column and row 334 px so nothing is cropped away
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded and split entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so it never travels to a server and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
How do I post an Instagram grid?
Split into 3 columns, then upload the tiles as separate posts working along each row. Post the rightmost tile of a row first so the pieces land left to right on your profile and rebuild the full picture.
What if the size does not divide evenly?
The tiles still cover the whole image. Each row and column takes an equal whole-pixel size, and the final column and row absorb any leftover pixels. A 1000 pixel width split three ways gives 333, 333 and 334, so nothing is lost or overlapped.
Are the tiles full quality?
Yes. Each tile is cropped straight from the decoded original at its native resolution, not from the smaller preview. Export as PNG for a lossless copy, or JPEG or WebP at 95 percent quality for lighter files.
How many tiles can I make?
Up to 10 columns and 10 rows, which is 100 tiles at most. The steppers stop at those limits to keep the live preview and the batch download responsive.
How are the tiles named?
Each file uses the original name plus its grid position, like photo-r2-c3.png, where r is the row and c is the column, both counting from 1. That keeps a full set sorted in reading order.
Why do JPEG tiles have a white background?
JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas of a PNG or GIF are filled with white when you choose the JPEG format. Pick PNG or WebP if you need to keep transparent pixels.
Can I download every tile at once?
Yes. Download all saves each tile in turn with a short pause between files so your browser does not block the batch. You can also click any single tile in the grid to save just that one.
Do the tiles come back as one zip file?
No. Tiles download as individual image files rather than a single archive. If you need a zip, gather the saved files into one afterward with your operating system.
