Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Instagram Grid Maker?

It splits one image into equal tiles so that, once they are posted, they rebuild the full picture on your profile grid. It is the trick behind panoramic profile headers and feeds where several posts form one larger image.

In what order do I post the tiles?

Backwards. Instagram puts the newest post in the top left, so the tile that belongs in the bottom right has to be posted first and the top left tile last. Posting them in reading order is the single most common way a grid ends up scrambled.

Is it free to use?

Yes, it is free to use online. Upload your image, pick a layout and download the tiles, with no watermark and nothing to install. The tiles come out as separate files, ready to post one by one, which is the only way Instagram lets a grid be assembled.

What size should my original be?

Large and square sided for a three by three, so each tile still has enough pixels after the split. Instagram displays tiles at around 1080 pixels, so an original of roughly 3240 pixels across gives each tile a full resolution crop.

Can developers split images automatically?

Yes. Cropping to exact regions is a transformation in the Cloudinary API, so a campaign that needs grids generated across many images can produce every tile programmatically, with no one slicing files by hand and no risk of a one pixel misalignment ruining the join.
