Frequently asked questions
How do I split a photo into 9 parts for Instagram?
Upload the photo, choose 3 columns and 3 rows and download the 9 tiles. Post them in numerical order and they'll form the complete image on your profile.
In what order should I post the tiles?
In the order of each file's number. Tile 1 is the bottom right corner and the last one is the top left corner, because Instagram places each new post ahead of the previous ones.
How do I make a seamless panorama carousel?
Choose 1 row and as many columns as the slides you want, 3 for example. Upload the tiles to a single post in order and swiping will show one continuous image.
What size are the tiles?
Each tile is 1080 pixels wide. The height depends on the format: 1080 for 1:1, 1350 for 4:5 and 1440 for 3:4.
What resolution does my photo need?
For a 3-column grid, at least 3240 pixels wide is ideal. It still works with less resolution, but the tiles will look slightly less sharp.
Is this tool made by Instagram?
No. It's an independent tool, not affiliated with Instagram or Meta, and your photo isn't uploaded to any server.
