The grid follows the source dimensions. To get nine equally sized square tiles, use a square image whose side length is divisible by 3; for example, 1,200 × 1,200 produces nine 400 × 400 tiles. Crop the source first with Image Cropper if you need to change its shape.
Image Splitter
Split one JPG, PNG or WebP by rows and columns. Each section becomes a separate PNG, and you can download all the pieces together.
Turn one image into separate pieces
Divide a photo into four parts, make a three-image strip or prepare a nine-tile grid. This image splitter cuts a single still image into rows and columns, so each piece is saved as a separate PNG.
You receive image-tiles.zip containing all the pieces. Unzip it on your device to inspect or reuse individual tiles. The upload preview shows the source image; the page does not display an interactive preview of the cut lines.
How to split an image online
1
Upload one still image
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP from your device. Selecting it starts the upload immediately; wait for the upload to finish. The source must be within 50 MB and 40 million pixels. Animated WebP and APNG are not accepted.
2
Choose rows and columns
Click a quick layout button below the Rows and Columns fields to set both values, or enter whole numbers from 1 to 10 yourself. The default is 3 × 3. Check the displayed tile count: rows × columns gives the number of PNG files.
3
Split, download and unzip
Click Split image to process the file on the server. When it finishes, download image-tiles.zip from the result and unzip it. Sort the PNGs by filename to follow their positions in the original picture.
Choose the grid by rows, then columns
Rows divide the picture from top to bottom; columns divide it from left to right. In the layouts below, the first number is rows and the second is columns.
3 × 3: nine tiles
Three rows with three tiles in each row. Use this to split an image into nine parts; the tiles keep the proportions determined by the source dimensions.
2 × 2: four tiles
Two rows with two tiles each, giving four sections of the picture. Both the width and height are divided in two.
1 × 3: three pieces side by side
One row and three columns. Each tile keeps the full source height and contains roughly one third of its width.
3 × 1: three pieces stacked vertically
Three rows and one column. Each tile keeps the full source width and contains roughly one third of its height.
To split an image in half, enter 1 row and 2 columns for left and right halves, or 2 rows and 1 column for top and bottom halves. Cut positions are calculated from the grid; there are no draggable cut lines, spacing or overlap settings.
Example: 2 rows × 3 columns
This layout produces six PNG files. Numbering runs left to right across the first row, then continues on the second row.

What happens to dimensions and transparency?
The tool applies the photo's saved orientation before calculating the grid. It keeps the complete picture without resizing, gaps or overlapping tiles.
Dimensions that do not divide evenly
Tiles can differ by one pixel in width or height. For example, a 1,000 × 600 image split into 2 rows and 3 columns produces column widths of 333, 333 and 334 pixels. Every tile is 300 pixels tall, so no edge pixels are discarded.
Existing transparency
Transparent areas in a PNG or WebP source remain transparent in the PNG tiles. An opaque background stays in the picture; splitting does not remove it.
PNG output for every source format
JPG, PNG and WebP inputs all produce PNG tiles. Saving a JPG or lossy WebP as PNG cannot restore detail already lost in the source. The combined PNG files can be larger than the original; a ZIP package does not guarantee a smaller download.
Check the unzipped tiles before using them in a design, a post or a print layout. Keep the source image if you may want a different grid later.
File size, pixel count and output limits
A file below 50 MB can still exceed the pixel limit. These limits are checked separately, and the entire source must fit before it can be split.
One still image, up to 50 MB
Use JPG/JPEG, PNG or WebP. Corrupt files and other formats are rejected. APNG and animated WebP are rejected even though their extensions may be .png or .webp.
Up to 40 million pixels
Calculate image width × image height. Compressing the file without changing its dimensions does not reduce this number. For very small images, rows cannot exceed the image height in pixels, and columns cannot exceed the width.
Up to 100 tiles and 250 MB of output
Both rows and columns range from 1 to 10. The combined PNG file sizes and the final ZIP must each stay within 250 MB. If processing exceeds a limit, the tool does not deliver a partial set of tiles.
If the source or output exceeds a limit, prepare an image with smaller dimensions and try again. There is no resize control on this page.
Image splitting questions
You can download the PNGs and upload them yourself. The tool does not connect to Instagram, schedule posts or adapt tiles to a platform's preview crop. The filenames describe source-image positions, not a recommended posting order. Check the destination's layout and upload order before publishing.
The tool creates PNG pieces you can place in a separate print layout. It does not generate a print-ready PDF or set paper sizes, physical dimensions, margins, bleed or overlap. Configure those in your printing software before printing the tiles.
Each task takes one still JPG, PNG or WebP. It does not process a batch of photos or extract animation frames. To save a GIF's frames as separate PNG files, use GIF Frame Extractor.
