About the Image Splitter
The Image Splitter cuts one picture into equal pieces. Split a wide photo into three for a seamless Instagram carousel, make a 3×3 grid for your profile, or cut a long screenshot into strips that fit a chat app or a slide.
Choose a grid of up to 20 rows and 20 columns, or strips by number or by height in pixels. The cutting lines are drawn on the image as you change the settings, and every piece can be downloaded on its own or all together in a ZIP file.
The image is split in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so private screenshots and photos stay on your device.
How to use it
- Choose an image: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF, up to 50 MB.
- Choose a grid (or one of the common ones), or strips by number or height.
- Check the cutting lines on the preview and choose the format of the pieces.
- Press Split image.
- Download the pieces one by one, or all of them in a ZIP file.
Features
- Instagram grids: One click for a 1×3 carousel or a 3×3 profile grid.
- Long screenshots: Cut a tall image into strips of a chosen height, or into a number of equal strips.
- No pixel lost: When the size does not divide evenly, the extra pixels are shared out, so pieces differ by at most one pixel and nothing is cut away.
- Photos the right way up: Photos taken on their side are turned upright first, as their camera information says.
- Private: The image is split in your browser and never uploaded.
Examples
A panorama carousel
Split a 3240 × 1080 px panorama into three 1080 × 1080 px squares and post them as one carousel.
A profile grid
Cut a square photo into a 3×3 grid; post the pieces from the last to the first so they line up on your profile.
A long chat screenshot
Cut a 1170 × 9000 px screenshot into strips 2000 px high to send them one by one.
Limitations and notes
- The pieces keep the shape the grid gives them. To get squares for Instagram, crop the image to the right shape first with the Image Cropper.
- Pieces are saved again as images, so camera information (EXIF), including the location, is not kept.
- At most 100 pieces, and from an animated GIF or WebP only the first frame is used.
- Very large images need a device with enough memory.
Frequently asked questions
In which order should I post a 3×3 grid on Instagram?
Post the last piece first and the first piece last. Instagram shows the newest post at the top left, so the grid then appears in the right order.
Why are some pieces one pixel larger?
When the width or height does not divide by the number of pieces, the extra pixels go to the first pieces, one each, so that no part of the image is lost.
Which format are the pieces saved in?
The same as the original by default; you can choose JPG, PNG or WebP instead. GIF, BMP and AVIF images are saved as PNG.
Can I split several images at once?
No, one image at a time. Split the next one after downloading the pieces.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and the image never leaves your device.
