Instagram grids (also known as "split images" or "profile banners") are a creative way to turn your profile into a giant canvas. By splitting a single high-quality photo into 3, 6, or 9 separate posts, you can make a huge impact on anyone visiting your profile.
What is a 3x3 Grid?
A 3x3 grid is simply one large image sliced into 9 equal squares. When uploaded to Instagram in the correct order, they fit together to reform the original image on your profile page.

You don't need Photoshop to do this. Our tool handles the math and slicing for you.
- Choose a High-Res Photo: Since you are zooming in, make sure your original image is high quality.
- Go to the Grid Splitter Tool.
- Upload your image.

How to Post (The Trick)
The most important part is the order. You must post the bottom-right image first, and the top-left image last.
- Our tool numbers the files for you.
- If you see files named 1, 2, 3... post them in that order (1 first).
