𧩠Image Splitter
Cut one image into a grid of tiles for carousels, puzzles, and prints.
How to Split an Image into Tiles
Upload your image and set rows and columns. The tool slices it into equal tiles, shows every tile numbered in reading order, and lets you download tiles individually or all together as a ZIP. Tiles are cut from the full-resolution original.
Upload the image you want to split.
Set rows and columns. For an Instagram grid puzzle, use 3 columns.
Click Split Image and review the numbered tile previews.
Download tiles individually or click Download All as ZIP for the full set.
Ideas: Puzzles, Carousels, and Posters
The classic use is the Instagram profile puzzle: a 3 by 1, 3 by 2, or 3 by 3 split where each tile is posted in reverse order so the profile grid reassembles the full image. Because each tile is a perfect square, compose your source with the rule of thirds in mind so key subjects land cleanly inside tiles rather than straddling seams. Swipeable carousels work similarly: split a panorama into 4:5 portrait tiles and post them as one carousel for a seamless swipe effect. Beyond social media, splitting shines for large-format printing: divide a high-resolution artwork into a 2 by 2 or 3 by 3 grid, print each tile on standard paper, and mount them as a tiled poster. Educators split diagrams into tiles for classroom displays, and game developers slice sprite sheets the same way. Whatever the grid, keep the source resolution high: tiles inherit one grid-cell worth of pixels, so a 900-pixel source split 3 by 3 gives only 300-pixel tiles.
Quality and Privacy
Tiles are extracted losslessly from your original pixels and exported as PNG by default, so edges stay crisp and text remains sharp. JPG export trades a little quality for much smaller files when you need them. File names include row and column numbers (tile-r1-c1.png) so the set stays organized after download. Everything, including ZIP packaging, runs locally in your browser: no uploads, no accounts, no watermarks. The tool handles images up to browser canvas limits, and grids up to 10 by 10 for ambitious mosaics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split an image into a grid?
Upload your image, set the number of rows and columns, and the tool cuts it into equal tiles. Each tile previews below with its number. Download tiles one by one, or grab them all at once as a ZIP file. Tiles are numbered left to right, top to bottom, matching reading order.
What is an Instagram puzzle or carousel split?
A puzzle post splits one wide image across multiple square tiles that line up in the Instagram grid, creating a striking mosaic on your profile. Carousel splits divide a panorama into swipeable 4:5 or square frames. Use 3 columns for grid puzzles since Instagram shows three posts per row.
Will the tiles keep full quality?
Yes. Each tile is cut from your original at full resolution and exported as PNG by default, which is lossless. A 3000 by 3000 image split 3 by 3 yields nine 1000 by 1000 tiles with zero quality loss. JPG export is available if you need smaller files.
Can I download all tiles at once?
Yes, the Download All as ZIP button packages every tile into one zip file using the JSZip library, all processed locally in your browser. Individual download buttons under each tile are there if you only need a few. The ZIP preserves the same numbered filenames for easy sorting.
What grid sizes work best?
For Instagram grid puzzles, 3 columns with 1 to 3 rows is standard. For printing a large poster on multiple sheets, match your paper layout, like 2 by 2 or 3 by 4. Up to 10 by 10 is supported, though very fine grids from small sources produce tiny tiles.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting, previewing, and ZIP packaging all happen in your browser. Your photos never leave your device, and no account or signup is ever required. Tiles are generated from your full-resolution original for maximum quality, and the ZIP download keeps them organized by row and column.
