Split an image into tiles — drag any cut, download as ZIP.
- Runs on your device
- Drag any cut line
- Numbered for feed order
- 100 tiles free · Batch with Pro
Drop an image to split
One image at a time, up to 25.0 MB
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG
Instagram feeds use 3 × 3. Carousels use 1 × 3.
Free splits up to 100 tiles per image.
Choose how many columns and rows to cut.
When the size does not divide evenly, keep the odd pixels or trim them for tiles that all match.
Gap insets every tile for a mounted look. Overlap adds bleed so printed pieces can be taped together.
Posting order numbers the bottom-right tile 1, so the files upload in the order a feed builds.
Why split an image?
Splitting turns one picture into pieces you can place separately: a feed grid that reassembles on a profile, a poster printed across several sheets, a sprite sheet cut back into its parts, or a large scan broken into sections small enough to work with.
What splitting gives you
- Feed grids that line up: nine tiles from one photo, numbered so they upload in the order the grid builds.
- Pieces at full resolution: each tile keeps the exact pixels it was cut from, so nothing is resampled or softened.
- Printable sections: add overlap so the printed pieces have bleed to trim and tape.
- Sprite sheets back to sprites: cut on a fixed pixel size and every tile comes out identical.
- One download, not fifty: every piece arrives in a single ZIP, named in the order you chose.
How to split an image online
- Add your image: Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF or SVG file. It is read on your device and never uploaded.
- Choose how to cut it: Pick a grid, a tile size in pixels, or a number of pieces to balance against your image.
- Adjust the cuts: Drag any cut line to resize the tiles beside it, and set the numbering to reading or posting order.
- Download the pieces: Click any single tile to save it, or take the whole set as one ZIP.
Four ways to describe a split
The same picture can be divided by shape, by size, by count, or by hand. Each one produces the same kind of result — the difference is which number you already know.
By grid
Set the columns and rows, from a single strip up to 20 × 20. A 3 × 3 grid is the Instagram layout; 1 × 3 is a carousel; 5 × 1 cuts a panorama into panels.
By tile size
Give a width and height in pixels and the image is cut into tiles of exactly that size. Useful for sprite sheets and map tiles, where the piece size is fixed and the number of pieces is whatever falls out.
By number of pieces
Ask for a number and the columns and rows are balanced against your image's shape, so the tiles stay close to square rather than becoming slivers. The layout it settles on is shown before you download.
By hand
Drag any cut line to move it. The tiles either side resize as you go and the rest of the grid stays put, so you can cut around a subject instead of through it.
What happens to the pixels
A split is a copy, not a conversion. Each tile is the exact region it was cut from, which is why the arithmetic below matters more than any quality setting.
Worth knowing
- Tiles are cut at full source resolution — a 4000 × 3000 photo in a 3 × 3 grid gives tiles of roughly 1333 × 1000.
- When the size does not divide evenly the remainder is handed out a pixel at a time: 1000 px in three columns becomes 334, 333 and 333.
- Choose identical tiles instead and the leftover pixels are trimmed from the right and bottom, which the tool tells you before you download.
- Transparency survives: a PNG or WebP with an alpha channel keeps it in every piece.
- Exporting to JPG discards transparency, because the format has no alpha channel to store it in.
- Reassemble the pieces and an opaque photo comes back byte for byte — every tile is a straight copy of its region, never a re-render.
Cutting and packaging happen on your device, so a 12-megapixel photo becomes a hundred pieces in well under a second.
Getting a clean result
Most disappointing splits come down to two things: a grid that does not divide evenly, and pieces posted in the wrong order.
Planning the grid
- Pick row and column counts that divide into your image's dimensions, and the tiles all come out identical with nothing trimmed.
- If they do not divide evenly, decide which matters more: keeping every pixel, or tiles that match each other exactly.
- Check the tile size shown beside the preview before downloading — a 20 × 20 grid on a small image produces pieces too small to use.
- For printing across several sheets, add overlap so each piece carries bleed into its neighbour.
- For a mounted or collage look, add a gap instead: every piece is inset by the same amount.
Posting a grid in the right order
- A profile grid fills from the bottom right, so the last tile has to be uploaded first.
- Set the numbering to posting order and the files are named so that sorting them by name is the upload order.
- Keep reading order instead when the pieces are for a document or a print run, where top-left first is what you want.
- Upload the pieces in one session — a grid built over several days shifts as other posts arrive.
- Save as PNG if the image has flat colour or text; JPG suits photographs and makes smaller files.
Common use cases
Splitting shows up wherever one image has to become several files.
Social media grids
Cut a photo into a 3 × 3 feed grid or a 1 × 3 carousel, numbered so it assembles correctly.
Printing large images
Divide a poster across several sheets and add overlap so the seams can be trimmed and joined.
Game and web assets
Cut a sprite sheet or icon sheet back into individual pieces at a fixed pixel size, transparency intact.
Working with big scans
Break a map, plan or scanned page into sections small enough to review, annotate or send.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split an image into equal parts for an Instagram grid?
Choose the 3 × 3 preset to divide the photo into nine equal tiles, then set the numbering to posting order. The files are named so that sorting them by name gives the upload order — bottom-right first — which is what makes the grid assemble the right way up on your profile. Download all nine as a single ZIP.
Can I split an image into more than nine tiles at once?
Yes, up to 400. The columns and rows go from 1 to 20 each, so a 5 × 4 grid gives 20 pieces and a 20 × 20 grid gives 400. Free splits up to 100 tiles per image and Pro raises that to 400.
What is the difference between grid, tile size and tile count?
Grid asks how many columns and rows to cut. Tile size asks how many pixels wide and tall each piece should be, and produces however many pieces that takes. Tile count asks only for a number of pieces and works out the columns and rows that suit your image's shape — and it shows you the layout it chose before you download anything.
Can I make the pieces different sizes?
Yes. Every cut line in the preview can be dragged. Moving one resizes the two tiles either side of it and leaves the rest of the grid alone, so you can place a cut around a subject rather than through it. Add or remove cuts by changing the column and row counts, and press "Even up the cuts" to return to a regular grid.
Why are my edge tiles a different size from the rest?
Because the image does not divide evenly. A 1000 px wide image in three columns gives 334, 333 and 333 pixels — the remainder is handed out a pixel at a time so no part of the picture is lost. If you would rather every tile matched exactly, switch to identical tiles and the leftover pixels are trimmed from the right and bottom; the tool states how many before you download.
Can I split a PNG with a transparent background?
Yes. Transparency is preserved in every piece when you export to PNG or WebP, which makes this suitable for icon sheets, sprite sheets and layered design work. Exporting to JPG will flatten it, because JPG has no alpha channel.
How do I split an image for printing across several sheets?
Set the grid to the number of sheets you need, then switch the tile edges to overlap and choose an amount in pixels. Each piece then extends past its cut line into its neighbour, giving you bleed to trim so the joins do not show. The outer edges of the image are left alone, since there is nothing beyond them to bleed into.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is read and cut on your device, and the pieces are written there too — nothing is sent to a server at any point. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-way through.
