What Is an Instagram 3x3 Grid?

A 3x3 grid (or "nine-grid") is a popular design technique where a single large image is split into nine smaller square posts. When viewed on your Instagram profile, these tiles combine to form a cohesive, giant image, making a strong visual impact on visitors.

How to Split Photos for Instagram

  1. Upload: Choose a high-quality photo. Landscape or portrait work, but you'll crop to a square.
  2. Position: Drag and zoom your image inside the editor to choose the perfect crop area.
  3. Split: Click "Download Grid ZIP". We slice the image into 9 equal parts (1080x1080px).
  4. Post: Upload the tiles to Instagram one by one.

Posting Order Matters!

To reconstruct the image correctly on your feed, start by posting the bottom-right tile first, then work your way left and up, finishing with the top-left tile.
