How do I split a photo into a 3x3 grid for Instagram?

Add your photo, choose the 3x3 preset under Grid presets, and check the cut lines in the preview. Click Slice into 9 tiles, then download the ZIP. Post tile 1 first so the grid lines up.

What is the largest grid I can make?

Rows and Columns each accept 1 to 10, so the biggest grid is 10 by 10, which is 100 tiles. You can use presets like 3x3 or 3x1, or enter your own numbers.

In what order should I post the tiles on Instagram?

Follow the posting order numbers shown on the tiles, starting with tile 1, so the grid lines up on your profile. The tool also notes this means posting from the bottom-right tile back to the top-left.

Can I download just one tile instead of the whole ZIP?

Yes. Under Tiles, click any tile to download only that slice. The ZIP contains every tile, named by row and column, like tile_r1_c1. You can pick PNG, JPEG or WebP before slicing.

Why are my tiles smaller than my original photo?

Photos over 8192 pixels on the longest side are scaled down to that size to keep the browser stable, and a note appears. Tiles are cut locally. Square tiles (center crop) also crops the photo.

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no account and no credit card. The work runs on your device rather than on our servers, which is what keeps it free to run.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your files are opened and processed inside your browser and are not sent to LibraTool. Some tools first download a processing engine or AI model to your browser; that download contains no data of yours.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in current mobile browsers on iOS and Android, with nothing to install. Very large files can be slow or run out of memory on a phone, so use a computer for those.
