Instagram Grid Maker

Split one photo into a seamless Instagram grid. Upload an image, pick a grid size, and download numbered 4:5 tiles — the shape Instagram’s profile grid uses now — in the exact order to post them so the pieces line up.

Turn one photo into a profile mural

A grid post, sometimes called a puzzle feed or mural, is one large image split into tiles that line up on your profile to form the full picture. It is a popular way to announce a launch, show off a product shot, or make a profile stand out at first glance.

Upload a photo, choose a 3×1, 3×2, or 3×3 layout, and drag the image to frame it. The preview shows how the tiles will look on your profile before you download anything.

Why the tiles are 4:5

Instagram changed its profile grid from square to 4:5 portrait tiles. A grid split into squares now gets cropped on the profile and the pieces no longer line up. This tool cuts 4:5 tiles so the mural matches the current grid exactly.

How to post the tiles

Instagram shows newest posts first, so the tiles must go up in reverse order. The downloads are numbered for you: post tile 1 first and work up, and the finished image assembles correctly. Post them back to back so the mural is never split by an unrelated post, and pin nothing to the top of your profile while it is up, since pinned posts shift the grid.

Frequently asked questions

What order do I post the grid tiles in?

Post them in the numbered order the tool gives you, starting from tile 1. The numbering already accounts for Instagram showing the newest post first, so the mural assembles correctly.

Why does my grid look cropped on my profile?

Instagram now displays profile tiles at a 4:5 ratio. Tiles cut as squares get cropped at the top and bottom. This tool exports 4:5 tiles so they line up.

What size should the source image be?

Use the largest image you have. For a 3×3 grid, an image at least 3240 pixels wide gives each tile the full 1080 pixel width Instagram uses.

Does the tool upload my photo?

No. The image is split in your browser and the tiles download directly to your device.
