Instagram split types
Pick the split by where the image will appear.
Instagram splitting is not only a crop problem. The same image can become a profile grid, a swipeable carousel, or a small row of tiles depending on the posting goal.
Profile grid
Use 3 x 3 or 3 x 4 when the final image should appear across your profile posts.
Carousel
Use 1 x 3 or 1 x 4 when users should swipe through a seamless image.
Custom campaign
Use custom rows and columns for launch visuals, puzzle feeds, and brand grids.
Instagram grid sizes
Start with a canvas size that matches the final grid.
Design the full image first in Canva, Figma, Photoshop, or another editor, then split it into post-sized tiles. Square grids use 1080 x 1080 px tiles; portrait grids use 900 x 1200 px tiles in this tool.
| Grid | Design canvas | Tile | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 x 1 row | 3240 x 1080 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Fast profile banner |
| 3 x 2 grid | 3240 x 2160 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Six-post campaign |
| 3 x 3 grid | 3240 x 3240 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Classic profile mosaic |
| 3 x 4 portrait | 2700 x 4800 px | 900 x 1200 px | Taller modern profile grid |
| 3 x 5 grid | 3240 x 5400 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Longer launch sequence |
| 3 x 6 grid | 3240 x 6480 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Large brand reveal |
Posting order
Instagram profile grids need the bottom-right tile posted first. The ZIP filenames put that tile at 01.
TikTok banner workflow
For TikTok profile banners, use a wide 3 x 1 or 3 x 2 split and check the preview before posting.
Instagram check
Prevent the common posting-order mistake.
Instagram places newer posts before older posts, so the visual order and upload order are different for profile grids.
- Use the numbered ZIP filenames instead of guessing from the preview.
- Post tile 01 first for profile grids.
- Download a preview before uploading all tiles.
- Use square tiles for classic grids and portrait tiles for taller profile layouts.
- Keep text, faces, and logos away from tile boundaries when designing the full canvas.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best split for an Instagram profile grid?
Use 3 x 3 for a classic square grid and 3 x 4 portrait when you want a taller modern profile layout.
Does the ZIP include posting order?
Yes. Instagram mode numbers the files from the first tile to post toward the final top-left tile.
Can I make a carousel instead?
Yes. Use the carousel page or set one row with multiple columns in this splitter.
Are images uploaded to a server?
No. The split happens locally in your browser.
Should I use crop or fit?
Use Crop for a full-bleed Instagram look and Fit when no part of the design can be cut off.
