How to Create Instagram Grid Posts
What is an Instagram Grid Post?
An Instagram grid post is when a single large image is split into multiple square posts that, when viewed on your profile, form one cohesive image. This is a popular strategy for brands, photographers, and creators who want a visually stunning profile feed.
Grid vs Carousel Mode
- Grid Mode: Cuts your image into perfect squares (e.g., 3x3 = 9 square posts). Each post is 1080x1080px. Perfect for profile grid aesthetics.
- Carousel Mode: Cuts your image into tall strips that take up the full height. Each post is 1080x1350px (Instagram portrait). Perfect for swipeable carousels.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Design your image in Canva, Photoshop, or any design tool. For a 3x3 grid, make it 3240x3240px (3 × 1080).
- Export as PNG or JPG and upload it to this tool.
- Choose your number of columns (3 is standard for Instagram).
- Select "Grid" for square posts or "Carousel" for tall posts.
- Click "Split Image" and download your posts individually or as a ZIP.
- Upload to Instagram in the correct order (bottom-right to top-left for grids).

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should my original image be?
For a 3x3 grid, make your image 3240x3240px (3 columns × 1080px). For a 3-column carousel, make it 1080px wide and as tall as you need (each slide will be 1080x1350px). The tool automatically scales to 1080px width.
What's the difference between Grid and Carousel mode?
Grid mode cuts your image into perfect squares (1080x1080) for your profile feed. Carousel mode cuts it into tall portrait strips (1080x1350) for swipeable posts that take up more screen space.
In what order should I upload grid posts to Instagram?
Upload from bottom-right to top-left. If you have a 3x3 grid, upload slide 9 first, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and finally slide 1. This ensures the image appears correctly on your profile.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All splitting happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I choose more than 3 columns?
Yes! Use the + and − buttons to choose anywhere from 2 to 6 columns. 3 columns is the most popular for Instagram grids.
