About Split Image into Grid

Split an image into a grid of square tiles for the classic nine-grid on an Instagram profile or in WeChat Moments, a 1 × 3 panorama carousel, or a poster printed in pieces. Pick a Grid such as 3 × 3 (nine-grid), 2 × 2 or 1 × 3 (panorama carousel), or choose Custom and set up to 10 rows and 10 columns. With Square tiles (crop the picture to fit), on by default, the photo is first cropped from the center to the right shape, so every piece comes out square, which is what a nine-grid needs. Stitch Images does the opposite, joining several pictures into one.

Tiles are numbered 01, 02, 03 and so on. Reading order (01 = top left) counts left to right and top to bottom, the order Moments shows them in. Instagram shows the newest post first, so Instagram posting order (post 01 first) starts at the bottom-right tile: post 01, then 02 and so on, and the grid lines up on your profile. Tiles keep the picture's format, so a JPG photo gives JPG tiles, a PNG screenshot stays a sharp PNG and see-through pictures are saved as PNG, all in one ZIP.
