ONE IMAGE. NINE SQUARES.
Cut Image into 9 Squares
Cut an image into 9 squares in your browser: a 3×3 grid made for Instagram posts, free, no signup, and the file never leaves your device. Tiles are cut from the original pixels without resizing; widths or heights may differ by one pixel. Download the nine PNG tiles one by one, or all nine together as one ZIP, then post them in order.

Files are processed only in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Adding more images resets previous results. Originals stay untouched.
PNG tiles preserve the original pixels. Grid mode center-crops before splitting; equal parts use the full image. Animated GIF, WebP, and AVIF inputs use their first frame. Camera metadata is not copied.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few clear answers.
How do I post the 9 squares on Instagram?
Check your current Instagram profile grid before posting. If your profile places the newest post first, publish the bottom-right tile first and work backward toward the top-left tile. Existing pinned posts or a changed grid layout can affect the result, so check the preview after each post.
Does the image have to be square?
No, but squares work best. A wide or tall photo is center-cropped into the 3×3 grid, so the edges can be cut off. Crop the photo to a square first if every part matters.
Do the nine tiles keep the full quality?
Yes. Each square is cut from the original pixels with no resizing — nine PNG files at the same resolution as their parts of the source.
Can I cut several images into 9 squares at once?
Yes, up to 20 images per batch. Every image is cut into the same 3×3 grid. Download each image's nine tiles as its own ZIP, or all tiles together as one ZIP — both are free.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting runs locally in your browser — no uploads, no signup, no account. Files stay on your device.
