How do I split an image into 9 tiles for Instagram?

Set the grid to 3 rows and 3 columns. The tool splits your image into 9 equal tiles. Upload them to Instagram in reverse order (bottom-right first) so the grid assembles correctly on your profile.

Can I split by exact pixel size instead of grid count?

Yes. Switch to pixel dimension mode and enter the width and height for each tile. The tool calculates how many tiles fit and shows a preview of the grid before splitting.

What happens to the tiles that don't fit evenly?

Edge tiles that are smaller than the target size are included as-is. You can choose to discard them or keep them. The live preview shows exactly where each tile falls.
