How the grid works
You take one large image and cut it into regular tiles (3, 6 or 9). Posted in the right order, they reassemble on your profile into one big visual. It is perfect for an announcement, a cover, or a big moment.
Split a photo into an Instagram grid
The grid effect (one large image spread across several posts) turns a profile into a storefront. It is visual, memorable, and it takes no design skill at all: just a clean split.

Making a clean split
Start from an image in the right ratio for your grid (often a multiple of squares). Resize it first, then split: that way you avoid squashed tiles or edges that do not land right.
Watch the posting order: on Instagram, the last image posted lands top left. So post your tiles in reverse reading order for the big image to come out the right way round.

Frequently asked questions
How many tiles should a grid have?
3 for a strip, 6 or 9 for a real block. The more you add, the more spectacular the effect, but the more posts you have to publish in one go.
In what order should I post?
In reverse: the last image published shows up first. So start posting from the bottom right corner of your large image.
