Instagram grid and carousel splitter
Slice one image into seamless carousel slides or a profile grid, with each 1080x1080 tile exported in the order Instagram actually needs it posted.
Carousel strips vs profile grids
- A carousel strip is one wide image cut into squares that people swipe through left to right. The crop keeps the full height and centers the width, so shoot or compose wider than 2:1 for a 2-slide strip and wider than 3:1 for 3 slides.
- A profile grid is artwork spread across your profile's 3-column layout. It only aligns while nothing new is posted on top of it, which is why grids suit launches and rebrands more than daily posting.
- Posting order is the trap: the grid fills newest-first, so tile 9 of a 3x3 goes up first and tile 1 last. Download-all delivers the files in that order so you can post them top of the pile first.
- Instagram compresses uploads hard. Exporting at its native 1080 tile size means your image gets compressed once, not resized and then compressed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split an image for an Instagram carousel?
Upload the image above and pick a carousel layout (2, 3, or 4 slides). The tool crops the image to the combined width, slices it into 1080x1080 squares, and you download the slides in order. Posted as a carousel, they read as one continuous panorama as people swipe.
How do I split an image for my Instagram profile grid?
Pick a grid layout (3x1, 3x2, or 3x3). The catch everyone hits: Instagram fills your profile grid newest-first, so the bottom-right tile must be posted FIRST and the top-left tile LAST. The download-all button hands you the files in that posting order.
What size are the exported tiles?
1080x1080 each, Instagram's native square resolution, exported as JPG at 92% quality. Instagram re-compresses everything on upload, so feeding it the native size avoids a second downscale.
Does a grid break if I post something new?
Yes, adding any new post shifts the whole grid left by one and the artwork misaligns. Grids work best on profiles that treat them as a banner refreshed occasionally, or accept posting in multiples of three from then on.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The slicing happens in your browser with the canvas API. The image never leaves your machine.

posthell schedules image posts to Instagram and 14 other networks at the times you pick, so a grid drop or a carousel goes out precisely, not whenever you remember.
