# Instagram Grid Maker

Split one image into 3, 6, 9 or 12 tiles that line up on today’s 3:4 Instagram grid, and download them numbered in the order to post. Use it for a launch, a new page or one big picture across your profile.

## How to use the Instagram Grid Maker

1. Upload an image and pick 1 to 4 rows, three tiles each.

2. Keep the 3:4 shape for today’s grid, then move the crop until the picture sits right.

3. Download the zip or single tiles. Post them in number order, tile 1 first.

## Instagram grid sizes today

| What | Size |
| --- | --- |
| Profile grid tile | 3:4, since January 2025 (it used to be square) |
| 3:4 photo post | 1080 × 1440 px. Shows in full in the feed and on the grid |
| 4:5 photo post | 1080 × 1350 px. The grid crops a thin strip off each side |
| Square post | 1080 × 1080 px. The grid crops it to 3:4, cutting the sides |

So the tool cuts 3:4 tiles at 1080 × 1440. What you post is what the grid shows, and the picture lines up from tile to tile. Instagram has taken 3:4 photos since May 2025.

## Why you post the last tile first

The newest post sits top left on your profile, and each new post pushes the others one place along. So a split image goes up backwards: the bottom-right tile first, the top-left tile last. The tool numbers the tiles in that order, and names the files `grid-post-01.jpg`, `grid-post-02.jpg` and so on.

- Post all the tiles in one go, so nothing else lands in between.
- Any post you make later moves the whole picture one place. Post in threes to keep the rows together.
- Pinned posts sit at the start of the grid, before your other posts. Unpin them while you check the layout.
- The grid shows thin lines between tiles, so keep faces and text away from the cuts.

Fill the rest of your grid with posts that already work: find videos that perform in your niche, and make your version with your AI persona, on your own API keys. [See 16 AI persona ideas →](https://phersa.com/personas)

## Instagram Grid Maker questions

### How do I make a puzzle feed on Instagram?

Split one image into rows of three tiles here, and keep the 3:4 shape so the edges meet on today’s grid. Post tile 1 first: the bottom-right piece. After that, post in whole rows of three, or every row shifts by one.

### What size are the tiles?

1080 × 1440 px with the 3:4 shape, the same as the tiles on today’s profile grid. The square shape makes 1080 × 1080 px tiles.

### Why doesn’t my old square grid line up anymore?

Because Instagram changed the profile grid from squares to 3:4 tiles in January 2025. Square posts now show with their sides cropped, so the edges between square tiles no longer meet.

### In what order do I post the tiles?

Tile 1 first, then 2, 3 and so on. Tile 1 is the bottom-right piece, because the newest post shows top left.

### Can I split the image into a carousel instead?

Yes, but a carousel shows only its first slide on the profile grid. For one wide picture that people swipe through in a single post, use the carousel splitter.
