How to make an Instagram grid post (puzzle feed)
A grid post spreads one big image across several posts, so your profile shows a single striking picture. It's popular for launches, announcements and portfolio pieces. This Instagram grid maker splits your photo into 3, 6, 9 or 12 tiles that line up perfectly and numbers each one in the order to post it.
Step by step
- Choose a wide, high-resolution image. For a 3×3 grid, at least 3240 pixels wide gives the sharpest tiles.
- Pick the grid size and the 3:4 tile shape, which matches today's profile grid.
- Download the zip and post tile 1 first. New posts appear top-left, so the picture builds in the right order.
- Post all tiles close together so followers don't see a half-finished puzzle for long.
Keep it lined up
Your grid only stays aligned if you add posts in sets of three afterwards. Plan what comes next with the grid planner.
Questions
Why do I post them in reverse?
Your newest post always appears at the top-left of your profile. Posting the bottom-right tile first means the picture is complete and correct once the last tile is up.
Will it still line up if I post something else later?
Only if you post in sets of 3. A single new post shifts every tile one place along and breaks the picture.
Can I post the tiles as one carousel?
You can, but carousels only show their first image on the grid. To build the big picture, post each tile separately.
