Cut one picture into a grid of equal tiles, or into strips, and download them all as a ZIP in reading order. Made for Instagram grids, carousels and print jobs that need a picture in pieces.
Divides the image into rows and columns of the same size and saves every cell as its own file, numbered left to right and top to bottom so a 3 × 3 grid comes back as 1 through 9. The white lines on the preview show exactly where the cuts fall. Tiles are cut from the original pixels, never scaled, so a 3000 × 3000 picture split three ways gives nine crisp 1000 × 1000 files. Everything is bundled into one ZIP, or you can click any tile to download it on its own.
An Instagram profile grid: a 3240 × 3240 square photo, 3 × 3, output JPEG at quality 92. You get nine 1080 × 1080 tiles of about 180 KB each, and you post them in reverse order, 9 first and 1 last, so they line up on the profile. A panorama carousel: a 4320 × 1080 image, Strips down, 4 columns, gives four 1080 × 1080 panels that swipe seamlessly. A poster for a home printer: a 2480 × 3508 A4 file, 2 × 2, prints on four sheets.
Use it for grids, carousels, tiled prints, sprite sheets and any time a platform wants one picture in equal pieces. If the pieces should be different shapes or sizes, cut them one at a time with Crop Image instead. To put tiles back together, or to join unrelated photos, Merge Images does the reverse job. When the source is not evenly divisible, the last pixel or two on the right and bottom edges are dropped rather than producing tiles of different widths.
Grid cuts both ways; Strips across makes horizontal bands and Strips down vertical panels. Tiles keep the photo’s proportions forces each tile to the same shape as the whole picture, trimming what does not fit, which is what a carousel wants. Inner padding adds a coloured border inside every tile so gaps appear when they are shown side by side. The file-name pattern’s {n} token is the tile number; {name}-{n} is the default.
In what order are the tiles numbered? Left to right, then top to bottom, like reading a page. A 3 × 3 grid is 1 2 3 on the top row, 4 5 6 in the middle, 7 8 9 at the bottom.
Can I get tiles of exactly 1080 pixels? Resize the whole picture first so the width is a multiple of the tile size, for example 3240 wide for three 1080 tiles, then split. Resize Image does that in one step.
Why is there a thin strip missing on the right? When the width does not divide evenly the remainder is left out so every tile is identical. Crop or resize the picture to an exact multiple to avoid it.
Is anything uploaded? No. The cutting happens in your browser and the ZIP is built there too.
