Instagram Grid Maker
Turn one photo into a seamless puzzle grid for your Instagram profile, or a swipeable panorama carousel. Built for the new 3:4 profile grid, with numbered posts so you upload them in the right order.
Instagram's profile grid crops every post to 3:4. With this on, the tiles overlap slightly at the edges so the picture lines up perfectly on your profile, and each post still looks complete when opened.
Drag the photo in the preview to choose what goes in each post.
How to use Instagram Grid Maker
- 1
Upload a photo
Drop a photo or paste it. A high-resolution image gives the sharpest posts.
- 2
Choose the grid
Pick 3×1 to 3×5 rows and the post size (4:5, 3:4 or 1:1), then drag and zoom to frame it.
- 3
Download and post
Download the ZIP and upload post-01 first. Instagram puts the newest post on top, so the grid builds itself.
Make a seamless Instagram puzzle grid
A grid post splits one big image across several posts so that your profile shows a single large picture. This tool cuts your photo into 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 posts, numbers them in the order you should upload them, and packs them into one ZIP file. Everything happens in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.
Built for the new 3:4 profile grid
Instagram's profile grid now shows posts as 3:4 portrait thumbnails. A 4:5 post (1080 × 1350) is trimmed slightly on the left and right in the grid, which breaks most puzzle grids made with older tools. With Seamless on the profile grid switched on, this tool lets neighbouring posts overlap by exactly the trimmed amount, so the picture lines up perfectly on your profile, while every post still looks complete when someone opens it. You can also export native 3:4 posts (1080 × 1440), which fit the grid with no trimming at all.
Posting order
Instagram always shows your newest post in the top-left corner. That is why you upload the bottom-right piece first (post-01) and the top-left piece last. The preview and the file names show the exact order, and the ZIP includes a short how-to file.
Carousel and panorama mode
Switch to Carousel / panorama to split a wide photo into 2 to 10 slides of 1080 × 1350, 1080 × 1440 or 1080 × 1080. Upload all slides as one carousel post and your followers can swipe through a seamless panorama.
Tips for a great grid
- Use a large photo: a 3×3 grid of 4:5 posts needs about 3000 × 4000 px to stay sharp.
- Keep faces and text away from the cut lines.
- Post the whole grid in one go so other posts do not shift it.
- Pinned posts sit at the top of your grid and can push the puzzle out of line, so unpin them or plan around them.
