Which size are the pieces?

In portrait mode each piece is 1080 × 1440 px (3:4), the shape of today's profile grid. In square mode each piece is 1080 × 1080 px.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is cut on your device inside your browser. It is never sent to or stored on our servers.

Is the grid maker free?

Yes, completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up.

Will the grid still line up if I post something else later?

New posts push the whole grid along by one, so it only stays aligned when you add posts in multiples of three. Plan new posts in rows of three to keep the picture intact.

About

What is an Instagram grid?

Your Instagram profile shows posts in rows of three. A grid post splits one large image into several posts that line up into a single picture on your profile — a popular way to launch a product, announce news or make a profile stand out. Since 2025 the profile grid shows posts in a 3:4 portrait shape, so the default pieces are 1080 × 1440 px; a square 1080 × 1080 px option is included too.

Mind the edges

Each piece is a separate post, so a face or text right on a cut line will be split. Use the crop position to move important details away from the lines.

Post in one go

Publish all pieces in quick succession so followers see the full picture and the grid doesn't get broken up by other posts.

Start with a large photo

For 9 or 12 pieces, use a photo at least about 3000 px wide so every piece stays sharp.

Instagram grid FAQ

Start with the piece marked 1 and continue in order. Instagram shows the newest post first, so piece 1 ends up at the bottom right and the last piece at the top left — exactly where they belong.
