A grid banner is one of the fastest ways to make an Instagram profile stop feeling like a random stack of posts and start feeling designed. This free Instagram grid maker takes a single photo, center-crops it to a clean 3×1, 3×2, or 3×3 shape, and slices it into square tiles that line up seamlessly across your profile. You get a live preview of the finished grid before you download anything.
The hard part of a grid is the posting order — Instagram fills your profile newest-first from the top-left, so the tiles have to go up in reverse. This tool numbers every tile for you, so you just post them 1, 2, 3 and they snap together. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded. Need to prep the source image first? Try the image resizer. When your tiles are ready, line them up and auto-publish them with the PostJay Instagram scheduler so every piece goes out in the right order at the right time.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Instagram grid or puzzle?
An Instagram grid (also called a puzzle or panorama) is a single image split into several posts that line up on your profile to form one large picture. Because Instagram profiles show posts in a 3-column layout, splitting a photo into 3, 6, or 9 tiles turns your whole grid into a bold, cohesive banner.
What order do I post the tiles in?
Instagram puts your newest post in the top-left corner and pushes older posts down, so grids are built from the bottom-right upward. Each tile here is numbered with its posting order: post number 1 first, then 2, 3, and so on — working right-to-left and bottom-to-top. Follow the numbers and the tiles reassemble into the full image.
Does this upload my photo anywhere?
No. The entire tool runs in your browser using a canvas — your image is read, cropped, and sliced locally on your own device and is never sent to a server. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared.
What size are the exported tiles?
Each tile is exported as a 1080×1080 square JPG — Instagram's native feed resolution — so they stay crisp when posted. The tool center-crops your photo to the grid's shape first so every tile comes out perfectly square.
