What is an Instagram Grid?
An Instagram Grid (also called "Giant Square" or "Puzzle Feed") is a creative technique where one large image is split into multiple smaller squares that, when uploaded in order, form a seamless picture on your Instagram profile. This creates a visually striking effect that can span 1, 2, or 3 rows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload in reverse order: for a 9-grid, start with image 9, then 8, 7... down to 1. Instagram places new posts at the top-left, so this ensures your grid appears correctly.

Instagram adds small gaps between profile grid posts. This is normal and unavoidable. Design with this in mind—avoid putting important details at the very edges of each cell.
Instagram doesn't support multi-upload for grid creation. You must upload each image separately as individual posts. Use "Add to Drafts" first if you want to schedule them together.
Yes! This tool is fully responsive and works on mobile browsers. However, downloading multiple files may require extra taps on some devices.
