To split an image, add it to the Img Stop Image Splitter, pick a grid such as 1 × 3, 3 × 3 or a custom number of rows and columns, and click Split image. Each tile is saved as its own file, and you can download them all together in one ZIP.
About the Image Splitter / Grid
The Img Stop Image Splitter cuts one picture into equal tiles. You pick a ready grid like 1 × 2, 1 × 3, 2 × 2, 2 × 3, 3 × 3, 3 × 1 or 4 × 4, or set your own rows and columns up to 20 each. A dashed line preview shows exactly where the cuts will be before anything is saved.
Splitting is popular for Instagram. A wide panorama cut into 1 × 3 tiles becomes a carousel that people swipe across, and a 3 × 3 grid turns your profile into one big picture. The tool keeps every pixel of the original, numbers the tiles in order and lets you save them as JPG, PNG, WebP or the same format as the original.

Tips for the best result
- For an Instagram carousel, crop the panorama first so its width is exactly three times its height, then use the 1 × 3 grid for square tiles.
- Tiles are numbered left to right, then top to bottom. For a profile grid, post the last tile first, because the newest post shows at the top left.
- Choose PNG when the image has text or sharp lines, so the edges between tiles stay clean.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a panorama for an Instagram carousel?
Add the panorama and choose the 1 × 3 grid, which means one row and three columns. Click Split image and download the three tiles. Upload them to Instagram as one post in order 01, 02, 03, and people can swipe across the full view.
What does 3 × 3 mean in the grid options?
The first number is rows and the second is columns. So 3 × 3 gives nine tiles in three rows of three, 2 × 3 gives six tiles, and 3 × 1 gives three tiles stacked from top to bottom, which suits tall images.
Are the tiles exactly the same size?
Yes, as close as pixels allow. The image is divided evenly. If the width or height does not divide perfectly, some tiles may be one pixel bigger than others, which you will not notice when posting or printing.
In what order are the tiles numbered?
Tiles are numbered from the top left, moving right across the first row, then down to the next row. Each result also shows its row and column, for example Row 2, column 3, so you always know where it belongs.
Can I split more than one image at a time?
The splitter works on one image at a time so the cut line preview stays clear. When you are done, use Change file to load the next image. Your grid and format settings stay the same.
