Grid
Instagram’s profile grid shows posts as 3:4 tiles. Choose 1:1 if you post squares.
Output
Files are numbered in posting order. Post number 1 first and the last number last; the grid assembles itself on your profile.
How to use Instagram Grid Maker
- Drop the image you want to spread across your profile.
- Choose the number of rows (three posts each) and the tile shape: 3:4 for the current grid, or square.
- Drag and resize the frame to choose which part of the image becomes the grid; white lines show the tile boundaries.
- Select Create grid posts and publish the tiles in number order, starting with post 1.

Instagram Grid Maker FAQ
In which order should I post the tiles?
Post them in number order: post-01 first, then post-02, and so on. Instagram shows the newest post at the top left, so the first post you publish ends up at the bottom right of the grid, which is where tile 1 belongs.
Why 3:4 tiles instead of squares?
Instagram changed profile grids from squares to 3:4 rectangles. Square posts are now cropped at the sides in the grid. 3:4 tiles fill the grid exactly; choose square only if you prefer the classic style.
What happens if I post something else in between?
Any new post shifts every tile by one position and breaks the picture. Post all tiles in one session, and plan grid posts in multiples of three to keep the rows aligned.
Will the tiles look good on their own in the feed?
Followers see each tile individually in their feed, so a tile that is only sky or blank background may look empty. Images where every part has some interest work best.
What image size do I need?
For a 3 × 3 grid of 3:4 tiles, the frame covers 3240 × 4320 pixels at full quality. Smaller images work but are enlarged, which can look soft.
How profile grid takeovers work
An Instagram profile displays posts three across, newest first. Because every post is a separate image, a single large picture can be cut into tiles and posted one by one so that, on the profile, the pieces line up into the whole. Brands use this for launches and campaigns, artists for large works, and photographers for panoramas.
The posting order is the part people most often get wrong. Instagram adds each new post at the top left and pushes older posts to the right and downwards. To end up with tile one in the top-left corner, it has to be posted last; so the tiles are numbered here in reverse grid order, and you simply publish them from 1 upwards.
In 2025 Instagram switched the profile grid from squares to 3:4 rectangles. Tiles cut as squares are now cropped slightly at the sides, which breaks the seamless join between neighbouring tiles. The 3:4 option creates tiles that fill the new grid cells exactly. The gaps Instagram draws between cells are thin, so designs with strong lines crossing tile boundaries still read as one image.
Remember that each tile also appears on its own in followers’ feeds. Writing captions that explain the takeover, or including a recognisable element in each tile, keeps individual posts meaningful until the full picture is complete.
