How to use a grid maker for Instagram
Use the Instagram grid maker presets when you want square tiles for a profile grid or a swipeable carousel without opening a design app.
Step 2
Choose cover or contain
Cover fills every square. Contain keeps the full tile visible with white padding if needed.
Step 3
Download and post
Use the ordered filenames to post carousel tiles left-to-right or profile tiles newest-first.
Best Instagram grid size
The tool exports square 1080px JPG tiles, a practical size for Instagram profile grids and carousel posts.
Grid vs carousel
A 3x3 grid creates a profile mural across posts. A carousel keeps the visual inside one swipeable post.
Local processing
Your source image is handled locally by browser canvas APIs, so the site does not store your photo.
