How do I split a photo for Instagram?
Upload the photo, pick how you want it cut, 2 panels, 3 panels, or a 3x3 grid, check the cut lines in the preview, and export. The tool downloads the pieces as numbered JPEGs so you post them in the right order.
How do I split an Instagram photo into 2?
Choose the 2-panel split. The tool crops the photo to two side-by-side carousel slides, 1080 x 1350 pixels each at the default 4:5 ratio, and the halves line up as one continuous image when someone swipes.
How do I split an image into 3 for Instagram?
Choose the 3-panel split. It cuts the photo into three carousel slides of equal width, which is the classic seamless panorama format. Post the slides in order from file 01 and the photo reads as one wide frame across the swipe.
What is a seamless carousel panorama?
A single wide photo cut into carousel slides so the edges line up exactly as someone swipes. Because each slide is a clean vertical slice of the same image, the swipe feels like panning across one photo instead of flipping through separate ones.
What size should each carousel panel be?
1080 x 1350 pixels at 4:5 is the safe default and what this tool exports in portrait mode. Instagram also supports 1:1 square panels at 1080 x 1080, and a newer 3:4 size at 1080 x 1440. Whichever you pick, every slide in one carousel has to share the same ratio, and the first slide sets it.
What does the 3x3 grid split do?
It cuts one photo into nine square tiles that you post as nine separate posts, so the full image assembles across three rows of your profile grid. The files are numbered in upload order, starting from the bottom-right tile, because Instagram shows newest posts first.
What order do I post the pieces in?
For carousel panels, add the slides to one post in order from file 01. For the 3x3 grid, publish tile 01 first and work up to tile 09, which places the bottom-right piece first and the top-left piece last so the image assembles correctly on your profile.
Does Instagram still show a square profile grid?
Most profiles now preview posts at a 3:4 portrait crop instead of the old square. A 3x3 split still works, but keep faces and text away from the tile edges since the grid preview can trim the top and bottom of each tile.
Is this photo splitter free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, the photo never uploads to a server, and the export has no watermark. No account and no signup.
Can I use the split panels on other platforms?
The exported panels are standard JPEGs, so they work in any multi-image post. Square panels sit well on LinkedIn and Facebook carousels too, though the ratio presets here are tuned for Instagram.
