To split an image into 6, drop it into the splitter above. The default is 2 rows by 3 columns, which gives six tiles in a wide arrangement. Switch to 3 by 2 for a tall one or 1 by 6 for a single row. All six download as a ZIP, and the split runs in your browser.

Drag any line to move a cut. Tab to a line and use the arrow keys to nudge it one pixel, or hold shift for ten.
Vertical cuts give side-by-side pieces. Horizontal cuts stack them.
The tool picks the rows and columns that keep the pieces closest to square.
A shared strip on each seam, so the sheets can be trimmed and taped.
Each piece is resized to the size this page targets before it is saved.
Your image never leaves your device. Splitting runs in your browser with the Canvas API.
| Pieces | 6, in 2 rows of 3 |
|---|---|
| Cut lines | 2 vertical, 1 horizontal |
| Pieces from a 1080 × 1080 Instagram square | 360 × 540 px |
| Pieces from a 1080 × 1350 portrait | 360 × 675 px |
| Pieces from a 4000 × 3000 phone photo | 1333 × 1500 px, last piece 1334 × 1500 px |
| Pieces from a 1920 × 1080 screenshot | 640 × 540 px |
| Other arrangements of a 4000 × 3000 photo | 3 × 2 gives 2000 × 1000 px; 1 × 6 gives 666 × 3000 px, last piece 667 × 3000 px |
Six is the count that trips people up on rows versus columns, so here is the convention this tool uses everywhere: rows first, then columns. 2 by 3 means two rows and three columns. 3 by 2 means three rows and two columns. They give six tiles either way, but the tiles are shaped differently and they go in different places.
2 by 3 suits a wide source. A 3000 × 2000 photo becomes six 1000 × 1000 px tiles, each keeping the 3:2 shape of the original. On an Instagram profile, that is two full rows of the grid, which is the standard way people build a banner across the top of a feed.
3 by 2 suits a tall source: a portrait photo, a poster, a long menu. Six 1000 × 1000 px tiles from a 2000 × 3000 file.
1 by 6 is the six-slide carousel or the six-panel strip. Six panels, one row, posted left to right.
Dragging changes the maths but not the count. Move any of the interior lines and the tiles either side resize. That matters more at six than at four, because six tiles means more chances for a cut to land on someone's face.
All splitting happens on a canvas inside this page, so your image never leaves your device.
Six posts fill two complete rows of a profile grid. Split at 2 rows by 3 columns, then upload the bottom right tile first and work backwards to the top left, because the newest post lands in the top left corner. Instagram crops profile thumbnails to 3:4, so keep detail away from the top and bottom of each tile.
Switch to 1 by 6 and a wide image becomes six swipeable panels. Six slides is a comfortable carousel length: enough to carry a story, short enough that people reach the end. Pad each panel to 4:5 so every slide is the same shape, which is what the platform requires before it starts cropping.
Six sheets is a common poster size for a classroom or an office wall, laid out two sheets down by three across. Use the print splitter for that rather than a flat 2 by 3 cut, because it adds the overlap you need for taping and works from a physical target width instead of pixels.
Artwork laid out six-up on one sheet splits back into six separate files for upload to a print service that wants one file per design. Drag the cut lines to sit in the gaps between designs rather than at exact thirds, since laid-out sheets rarely have even margins.
Drop your image into the splitter above. It is preset to two rows by three columns, so six tiles appear in the preview immediately. Switch the arrangement to 3 by 2 or 1 by 6 if you need a different shape, then download the tiles as separate files or in one ZIP.
This tool writes grids as rows by columns. 2 by 3 is two rows and three columns, which is wider than it is tall. 3 by 2 is three rows and two columns, which is taller than it is wide. Both give six tiles, but the tiles have different proportions and suit different sources.
Use 2 rows by 3 columns to fill two rows of your profile grid, then post the bottom right tile first and work backwards. Profile thumbnails are cropped to 3:4, so anything important should sit in the middle of each tile rather than near its top or bottom edge.
Yes. Choose the 1 by 6 arrangement, which is one row and six columns. Each strip is one sixth of the width and the full height of the source. A 3000 pixel wide image gives six 500 pixel wide strips. That layout suits carousels, banners and long horizontal artwork.
Each tile is the source width divided by the number of columns and the source height divided by the number of rows. A 3000 × 2000 photo split 2 by 3 gives six 1000 × 1000 px tiles. Nothing is scaled, so those tiles hold the same pixels the original did.
You can, but the print splitter does a better job. It works from the finished physical size, chooses how many sheets that needs, and adds overlap and cut marks so the pages align when you tape them. A flat 2 by 3 cut gives you six images with no bleed to join them by.
