How to split an image in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Choose the image you want to cut.

  2. 2

    Pick a grid, written as columns × rows, such as 3×1, 2×1, 3×3, 2×2, 3×2 or 1×3, or set your own columns and rows up to 20×20. Turn on the square crop if you are making an Instagram grid.

  3. 3

    Choose the output format and download the pieces, together in a ZIP or one by one.

Your files never leave your device

This tool runs entirely inside your browser. The file is never uploaded to any server: it is read, processed and downloaded on your own device. When you close or reload the page, it is gone from memory.

Any grid you need

The common layouts are one click away. Grids are written as columns × rows: 3×1 cuts a picture into three vertical strips side by side and 2×1 into two halves, 1×3 into three horizontal bands stacked from top to bottom, 2×2 into four quarters, 3×2 into six parts and 3×3 into nine. If none of them fits, set the number of columns and rows yourself, up to 20 by 20.

Before you download, the tool shows how many pieces you will get and the size of each one in pixels, so you can check that they are large enough for where you want to use them.

Carousels and Instagram grids

A panorama split into vertical parts side by side, such as 3×1, becomes a carousel that scrolls like one continuous image, which works well for landscapes, group photos, menus and product lines. A 3×3 grid, or a custom grid of 3 columns and 2 rows, turns one big picture into a mosaic on your profile.

For a profile grid, turn on "Crop to square first". The image is cropped at the center so that every piece comes out square. The pieces are numbered from left to right and top to bottom; post them in reverse order, the last one first, so they line up on the profile. There is a dedicated Instagram grid maker page that starts with these settings.

Other uses

Teachers cut a picture into pieces for a puzzle or a matching activity. Designers slice a banner or a long infographic into parts for a website or a newsletter. Some people split a large chart or a map to print it page by page, although for a poster made of several sheets with overlap and cut guides, Print poster is the better tool.

You can keep the same format as the original or save the pieces as JPG, PNG or WEBP. PNG keeps transparent areas, while JPG usually gives lighter files.

Private and free

The image is cut in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and nothing is saved. It is free, with no account and no watermark, on phones and computers.

If the picture needs adjusting first, Crop image trims it to a precise area, and Merge images does the opposite job, joining several pictures into one.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a photo into 3 parts for a carousel?

Choose the 3×1 grid (three columns, one row) to get three vertical strips of the same width, download them and add them to the carousel in order, from part 1 to part 3.

In what order should I post a 3×3 grid?

The pieces are numbered left to right, top to bottom. Post them in reverse, starting with the last one, so the first piece ends up in the top left of your profile.

Why does the square option crop my picture?

An Instagram grid needs square pieces, so the image is first cropped at the center to the shape that makes every piece square. If you want to choose the area yourself, crop it first with Crop image.

What is the maximum number of pieces?

Up to 20 columns by 20 rows. Keep in mind that each piece gets smaller as you add more.

Does splitting reduce the quality?

Each piece keeps the original pixels of its area. If you save as JPG, there is the usual JPG compression; PNG keeps the pixels exactly.

Is my image uploaded?

No. It is split in your browser and the pieces are downloaded directly.
