📏 Recommended Dimensions for Split Images

Want to create an instagram grid yourself? Here are the recommended aspect ratios for Instagram grid posts. Each individual piece maintains the 4:5 aspect ratio:

Recommended Aspect Ratios (Total Image)

3x1 Grid

12:5 ratio

3x2 Grid

6:5 ratio

3x3 Grid

4:5 ratio

3x4 Grid

3:5 ratio

3x5 Grid

12:25 ratio

3x6 Grid

Notes:

  • Each piece maintains 4:5 - the Instagram standard aspect ratio
  • • Use any resolution that matches these ratios (e.g., 1200×1500px for 4:5)
  • • Keep important content away from split lines
  • • Test your grid before posting by previewing in this tool
  • • Consider your Instagram feed's overall aesthetic
  • • Higher resolution = better quality when split

FAQ

what is an instagram grid maker?

An instagram grid maker is a free image splitter that turns one photo into perfectly sized tiles, letting your Instagram profile feed display a single seamless masterpiece. Post bridge does it in two clicks - no watermark, no paywall.

how do i split a photo into a 3x3 grid?

1. drop your image in. 2. choose 3x3 and hit Split 3. Download nine HD files named image1.jpg to image9.jpg. Post them in that exact order – bottom-right to top-left – and your grid comes together perfectly.

can i pick layouts other than 3x3?

Yes – 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4, 3x5 and 3x6 are all built in. Every tile keeps the Instagram 4:5 ratio so nothing gets cropped.

is it really 100% free?

yes, really! no trial countdowns, no watermark surprises. Need auto-posting too? see our instagram scheduler (which btw costs less than lunch) and automatically schedules your grids for you.

will the split images lose quality?

Never. We keep your source file intact up to 4 MB, slice it server-side at full resolution, and export lightly compressed JPGs. They stay razor-sharp even on Retina screens.

why the 4 mb upload cap?

speed! A 4 MB ceiling means instant processing on mobile and desktop, no browser crashes, and no waiting wheel. If your file is larger, resize to 3000 px on the long edge – Instagram compresses bigger files anyway.

can i preview before i download?

yep! the live preview shows every slice in real time. Toggle background colours (black, white, grey, cream) to see how empty space will look on your feed.

how do i keep the grid seamless after posting?

Use the filenames as your cheat sheet. Post image1.jpg first, image2.jpg second, and so on. Skip any filters, keep the 4:5 crop, and the edges stay invisible.

can i turn it into a swipe carousel?

Sure. Pick 3x1 or 3x2, split, then upload the tiles as a multi-image carousel. Followers swipe once and get the full panorama in high-res.

will post bridge ever add watermarks?

No. Watermarks ruin art. our business lies in helping you schedule these grids in 1-click; the grid maker itself stays 100% free forever.

which file types work?

Upload JPG, PNG or WebP. We export as crisp JPG because it loads fastest and keeps colours true.

does it work on my phone?

Yes. The tool adapts to any modern browser on your phone. just upload, split, download, done.

can i download every tile in one click?

yes you can! just click 'Download All' to grab a ZIP with every slice in the right order. No more manual saves, and definitely no mix-ups.

does a profile grid still boost engagement?

yup. it's proven that a giant visual breaks the scroll pattern and drives profile taps.

creators using grids see higher time-on-profile and more follows.

psst… if you're also curious which platform pays the most for those views, we crunched the numbers here.

what makes post bridge different?

we offer a high-quality instagram grid maker, free of cost, with zero watermarks, six layout options, instant ZIPs, and an integration with Instagram scheduler that publishes each tile of your grid in perfect order. also, did we mention no ads or bloatware?

Jack - Founder of post bridge

heyo! it's jack

(the guy who made post bridge)

last year i was spending over 1 hour every single day posting the same content across all platforms.

going from one app to another, then switching accounts multiple times, switching back and forth… it sucked.

and what also sucked was the existing tools that i needed… they were way too expensive ($75-$200/month) for my needs and way too damn complex.

i needed something lightweight and simple, something affordable.

i searched far and wide but couldn't find what i needed, so i built it myself. and thats how i made post bridge

turns out thousands of others, like you, are just like me! so i made it into a business

since then i've used post bridge daily to grow my own mobile app (now at 100k+ downloads) and to generate 100M+ views just on my accounts alone

all while spending less time than ever managing my socials, using post bridge.

and there are 1000+ founders using it to save hours every week too
