Image Splitter
Quick answer
Slice one image into an even grid of rows and columns and download every tile as a single ZIP.
What the image splitter does
You set how many rows and how many columns to cut the image into, and Pixora divides the canvas into that many equal tiles, numbering each one by its row and column position so the set can be reassembled in the right order later. A 3×3 grid on a square photo produces nine tiles of identical size; a 1×4 grid produces four tall vertical strips instead.
The most common reason people reach for this is an Instagram grid post, where a single wide photo is split into three vertical panels so it reassembles into one image only when viewed across the profile grid. The same tool works for a photo mosaic printed as separate framed panels, or for cutting one large texture sheet into individual sprite tiles for a game engine.
Every tile downloads together in one ZIP archive rather than one at a time, with file names that encode the row and column, like row1-col1 and row1-col2, so importing them back into a layout tool or a folder of assets does not require guessing which piece goes where.
How to use it
Upload the source image
Choose the photo or artwork you want cut into tiles.
Set rows and columns
Enter how many pieces you want across and down; the grid preview updates live.
Check the grid lines
Confirm the split lines fall where you want, adjusting the count if a subject gets cut awkwardly.
Download the ZIP
Every tile is packaged into one archive, numbered by row and column.
Your images never leave your device
The slicing happens on the canvas inside your tab, so an unreleased campaign image from a brand being split into a nine-panel teaser grid does not have to pass through an outside server before the launch date, and neither does an unpublished shoot from a photographer being turned into mosaic panels for a client preview.

Format and quality tips
Instagram grids work best in threes
A profile grid displays three square posts per row, so a wide panorama split into a 1×3 or 3×1 grid reassembles cleanly as you scroll, as long as you post the tiles in the matching order and do not let other posts land between them.
Sprite sheets need even division, not just square tiles
Game engines that read a sprite sheet by fixed tile size expect every row and column to divide the source image with no leftover pixels. Check that your source dimensions divide evenly by the row and column counts you choose — a 1024 px wide image splits cleanly into 4, 8, or 16 columns, but not into 3.
Frequently asked questions
How many pieces can I split an image into?
The grid can be set to almost any row and column count, though very high counts on a small source image will produce tiles too tiny to be useful once each one is cropped down.
Will the tiles be perfectly equal in size?
Yes, as long as the source dimensions divide evenly by the row and column counts. If they do not divide evenly, the final row or column absorbs the leftover pixels and comes out slightly larger or smaller.
How do I know which tile goes where after downloading?
Each file in the ZIP is named by its row and column position, so row1-col1 is the top-left tile and the numbering continues across and down from there.
Can I split an image for an Instagram grid post?
Yes, that is one of the most common uses — split a wide photo into a 1×3 grid of vertical panels and post them in order so they reassemble on your profile grid.
Does splitting an image lose any quality?
No. Each tile is a direct crop of the original pixels with no resampling involved, so quality matches the source exactly, aside from whatever compression the export format applies.
Can I use this to make a sprite sheet for a game?
Yes, but check that your source image dimensions divide evenly by the row and column counts first, since most game engines expect uniform tile sizes with no leftover pixels at the edges.
