See the finished grid before publishing
The preview shows how the tiles join across three columns. Choose a layout that keeps the subject in view, then adjust the crop as one complete picture. All exported tiles use the same crop so the picture stays consistent.
Use numbered files to follow the posting order
File 01 is the bottom-right tile. Continue through the numbered files so the top-left tile is published last. Open your profile as you publish to check the layout, including any pinned posts or profile-grid adjustments.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Instagram grid maker?

How do I split a photo into nine Instagram posts?
Upload your photo, select 3 × 3 under Grid layout and choose a tile shape. Adjust the framing in the large preview, download the ZIP and extract the nine images. Follow the filenames when publishing.
Which image do I post first?
Begin with file 01, the tile at the bottom right of the preview. Publish the other files in ascending order. The final file is the top-left tile. Check your profile as you go so you can confirm how it appears with your existing posts.
Should I choose square or portrait tiles?
