Panorama Splitter

Drop a panorama into the splitter above and it picks the slide count from the image's own proportions, then cuts adjoining slices that swipe as one scene. A 3:1 panorama gives three near-square slides. Override the count if you want, then download the set in swipe order.

Panoramas are the worst-served pictures on social media. A 6000 × 1500 shot posted as a single image gets squeezed into a letterbox strip about a centimetre tall on a phone. All the reason you took it disappears.

Cut into slides, the same photo swipes at full screen height. That is what this preset is for, and it starts by reading the aspect ratio rather than asking you for a number. A 4:1 source wants four square slides. A 3:1 source wants three. The rule is to pick the count that leaves each slide closest to the target shape, which keeps slices from coming out as slivers.

You can override it. Fewer slides means wider, shorter slices with more padding above and below. More slides means narrow ones. The preview shows all of them, so the trade-off is visible before you export.

Slides adjoin exactly. Cuts land on whole pixels and neighbouring slices share an edge, so the scene continues rather than jumping.

One composition note that applies to every panorama split. Instagram draws a gap between slides while you swipe, so a horizon carries across the joins well and a face sitting on one does not. Drag a cut line rather than accepting an even split when something important is in the way.

What this split is used for

Phone panorama as a carousel

Panorama mode on a phone produces very wide files that look like nothing when posted whole. Split into slides and each part fills the screen. Phone panoramas are often 8000 pixels or more across, so even five or six slides leaves plenty of resolution per slide.

Stitched landscape or cityscape

Multi-frame stitches from a camera come out wider still. Let the tool pick the slide count from the aspect ratio, then check where the cuts fall. Move a cut line if a building edge or a person lands on it, since the gap between slides makes that obvious.

Wide artwork or a long illustration

Illustrations drawn as one long piece work the same way as a photographic panorama. Cut them into slides and the piece reveals itself as people swipe. Keep the strongest part of the composition on the first slide, since that is what shows in a feed.

Panoramic print across several frames

The same equal slices work for print. Cut a panorama into three, four or five panels of equal width, print each at full resolution and hang them with gaps. The gaps do the same job as the swipe: the eye carries the scene across them.

Tips

  • Let the slide count come from the aspect ratio first, then adjust if the slices look too narrow.
  • Drag a cut line when a face, a pole or a building edge sits on a join.
  • Put the strongest part of the picture on the first slide, since that is what appears in feeds.
  • Pad the slides to 4:5 if you want them to fill the maximum screen height.
  • Phone panoramas are usually wide enough that five or six slides still leaves full resolution per slide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I post a panorama on Instagram?

Split it into slides and post them as a carousel rather than as a single image. Each slide fills the screen and the scene continues as people swipe. Posting a panorama whole shrinks it to a thin strip, which is why the split is worth doing.

How many slides should a panorama be cut into?

Enough that each slide is close to square or portrait rather than a sliver. This tool works it out from the aspect ratio: a 3:1 panorama gives three slides, a 4:1 one gives four. Override the count if you prefer a different balance.

Do the slides line up when someone swipes?

The slices adjoin exactly, because cuts land on whole pixels and neighbouring slides share an edge. Instagram still draws a gap between slides while swiping, so the scene reads as continuous across the gap rather than as one unbroken image.

Will Instagram crop my panorama slides?

It crops any slide whose aspect ratio does not match the first one. Padding every slice onto the same canvas removes the reason for it. Square at 1080 × 1080 px and portrait at 1080 × 1350 px both work as long as all the slides match.

Can I split a panorama for printing instead?

Yes. Equal vertical slices are exactly what a multi-panel print needs, and each panel keeps the full resolution of its part of the source. If you want the panorama across several sheets of paper rather than several frames, use the print splitter.

How wide can the source image be?

Files up to 50 MB are handled in the browser, and tiles are processed one at a time rather than on a single oversized canvas, so very wide stitched panoramas split without trouble. Sources past roughly 60 megapixels show a warning instead of failing quietly.
