How to make an Instagram grid

  1. Add your image. Drop it in, choose a file, or paste it.
  2. Pick the grid: 3 columns is standard for Instagram. The grid lines show how it will be cut.
  3. Download the tiles. You get a ZIP named grid-1, grid-2, and so on.
  4. Post them in reverse: upload the highest number first (for a 3×3, post grid-9 first), down to grid-1 last. They then line up correctly on your profile.

Questions

Why do I post the tiles in reverse order?

On your profile, the newest post sits top-left. So the tile that should end up top-left must be posted last. Upload the highest-numbered tile first and the lowest last, and the full picture lines up.

What grid sizes can I make?

From 2 to 6 columns and 1 to 5 rows. A 3×3 (nine tiles) is the most popular for a profile grid. A single row works well for a wide panorama.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The image is split in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere.

What size are the tiles?

Each tile is saved at 1080 × 1080 pixels, Instagram’s square post size, so they stay sharp. The image is cropped from the centre to fit your chosen grid shape.
