Image Splitter
Split an image into an even grid of tiles — pick the columns and rows — and download them all as a ZIP of PNGs. Great for an Instagram grid.

Quick Answer
Choose how many columns and rows to slice your image into, and the tool cuts it into that even grid of tiles. They download together as a ZIP of PNGs, numbered left to right and top to bottom. A 3 by 3 split gives the classic nine-tile Instagram grid. Up to 10 by 10 tiles, all done in your browser.
What the Image Splitter Does
This slices one image into a grid of smaller tiles. You set the number of columns and rows; the image is divided evenly into that many equal pieces, and you get them all as a ZIP.
The best-known use is the Instagram grid: split a single picture into 3 by 3 and post the nine tiles so they line up into one big image on your profile. It also works for any time you need to cut a picture into equal sections.
How It Works
Drop or pick an image and set the columns and rows (up to 10 each). A live grid preview shows the tiles.
Each tile is cut from the image on a canvas and saved as a PNG. The set is packed into a ZIP with the JSZip library.
Download the ZIP. Tiles are named tile-1, tile-2 and so on, left to right and top to bottom. Nothing is uploaded.
Processing pipeline
- Decode locally. Your image is drawn onto a canvas in the browser — never uploaded.
- Divide into a grid. The width is split by the columns and the height by the rows into equal tiles.
- Render each tile. Each tile is cut to its own canvas and exported as a PNG.
- Pack into a ZIP. All tiles are bundled into image-tiles.zip with JSZip and downloaded.
Privacy
Your image is split entirely in your browser and never uploaded — there is no server.
The tiles and the ZIP are built locally with JSZip; no account and no stored copy.
Because the tiles are drawn from a canvas, they carry no EXIF or GPS metadata from the original.

Standards & references
- Even grid split — The image is divided into equal tiles by cutting the width into the chosen columns and the height into the chosen rows.
- Instagram grid — A 3 by 3 split gives nine tiles that line up into one large image across a profile grid when posted in order.
Accuracy & Limitations
Tiles are equal-sized: the width is divided by the columns and the height by the rows. If a dimension does not divide evenly, the tiles differ by a fraction of a pixel, which is not visible.
Each tile is a lossless PNG, so no quality is lost in the cut. The tiles are packed into a single ZIP for a tidy download.
For an Instagram grid, post the tiles in order — and remember Instagram shows the grid newest-first, so plan the posting sequence so the picture assembles correctly.
The grid goes up to 10 by 10, which is 100 tiles. Very large grids on a big image take a moment to build and zip.
Real-World Use Cases
Instagram grid post
Split a picture 3 by 3 and post nine tiles that join into one feature image on your profile.
Cut into sections
Divide a large graphic or map into equal pieces to print or share separately.
Puzzle or game tiles
Make an even set of tiles from one image for a game or activity.
Sprite or asset slicing
Cut a grid sheet into equal pieces for quick use.
When to use it — and when not to
Good for
- Instagram 3 by 3 grid posts
- Cutting an image into equal tiles
- Getting all tiles in one ZIP
Not the best choice for
- Unequal or custom-shaped pieces
- Cropping to one region — use the cropper
- Keeping a single file — this produces many tiles
To keep one piece, use the image cropper; to resize rather than slice, use the image resizer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an Instagram grid?
Set the split to 3 columns and 3 rows to get nine equal tiles, then post them in order so they assemble into one image on your profile. Because Instagram shows posts newest-first, plan your posting sequence accordingly.
What format are the tiles?
PNG, which is lossless, so no quality is lost in the cut. All the tiles come in a single ZIP named image-tiles.zip.
How many tiles can I make?
Up to 10 columns by 10 rows, which is 100 tiles. A 3 by 3 grid is the most common for social posts.
Are the tiles all the same size?
Yes, the image is divided evenly. If a dimension does not split into a whole number of pixels, tiles differ by a fraction of a pixel, which you cannot see.
How are the tiles named?
tile-1, tile-2 and so on, ordered left to right and top to bottom, so you can reassemble or post them in sequence.
Why is the download a ZIP?
Because splitting produces several files. Bundling them into one ZIP keeps the download tidy; the tool builds the ZIP locally with the JSZip library.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The splitting and zipping happen entirely in your browser, with no server and nothing stored.
Can I split into uneven pieces?
No. The grid is even. For a single custom region, use the cropper instead.
Does it reduce image quality?
No. Each tile is a lossless PNG cut directly from the image, so quality is preserved.
Will it work on a very large image?
Yes, within your device's memory. A big image split into a large grid takes a moment to render and zip.
Do the tiles keep transparency?
Yes. They are PNGs, so any transparency in the original is preserved in the tiles.
Does it strip metadata?
Yes. The tiles are drawn from a canvas, so they carry no EXIF or GPS data from the original.
