User Guide

How to use this tool

The Split Image Tool divides a long, wide or square image into multiple pieces. It is the standard workflow for turning a tall infographic into an Instagram carousel, splitting a panoramic photo into a multi-post story, or cutting any picture into a 4-grid, 9-grid or 16-grid social tile set. Everything runs in your browser with no uploads.

How to use it

Drop your image onto the upload zone, then choose an orientation. Vertical slices tall images (Instagram carousels, long infographics) into N equal-height strips. Horizontal slices wide images (panoramas, banners) into equal-width columns. Grid cuts the image into rows × columns tiles for 4-grid, 9-grid and 16-grid layouts.

For strip mode, set the number of slices from 2 to 12. For grid mode, set the Columns and Rows sliders (2–10 each) or tap a preset chip — 2×2 for a 4-grid, 3×3 for a 9-grid, 4×4 for a 16-grid. The optional Gutter slider inserts 0–40 px of blank space between every tile so the grid looks clean when posted as separate images.

Every tile appears in the preview grid. Download all pieces at once as a ZIP archive. Strip files are named "slice-1.png" … "slice-N.png" in reading order; grid files are named "grid-R01C01.png" … "grid-RxxCxx.png" — row first, then column, left-to-right and top-to-bottom.

  • Vertical, horizontal and row × column grid splitting
  • One-tap 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 presets (4 / 9 / 16 tiles)
  • Custom rows × columns up to 10×10
  • Adjustable gutter between tiles (0–40 px)
  • Bulk ZIP download with sequential, order-safe naming

Common workflows

For Instagram carousels, split a 4320 px tall vertical image into 4 slices of 1080 px each. Upload them in order and Instagram renders a swipe-through story that looks like one continuous tall image.

For a 9-grid Instagram profile, drop a square image, switch to Grid mode and tap the 3×3 preset (or set Columns = 3, Rows = 3). Upload the nine files named grid-R01C01.png through grid-R03C03.png in row-major order so they reconstruct the original on your profile.

For triptych panoramas, split a wide image into 3 horizontal slices, then print each one and hang them side by side to reconstruct the panorama.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it recombine panoramas?

This tool splits; use Combine Images to stitch them back.

What order are the tiles in?

Left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Grid tiles are named R01C01, R01C02…; strips are slice-1, slice-2…

What split options are available?

Split into equal rows and columns (2×2, 3×3, 4×4, custom), or slice horizontally/vertically into a specified number of equal pieces.

Do the output pieces overlap?

By default there is no overlap and tiles align perfectly edge-to-edge. You can add optional overlap pixels if you need bleed for printing or stitching.

What format are the downloaded pieces?

Each tile is downloaded as a separate PNG or JPG file with a numbered suffix (e.g. image_1.jpg, image_2.jpg).

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. This tool is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. All processing runs locally in your browser.

Are the pieces lossless?

Yes. Each tile is a lossless PNG copy of a rectangle of the source image; no recompression artifacts are introduced.

How do I make a 9-grid for Instagram?

Switch Orientation to Grid, tap the 3×3 preset, then download the ZIP. Upload the nine PNGs in order R01C01, R01C02, R01C03, R02C01… so they reconstruct the original square image.
