How to make an Instagram grid and carousel

A planned grid makes a profile look intentional, and carousels get more reach than single posts. Both come down to slicing and sizing images correctly — here is the quick way.

Split a photo into a grid

Slice one image into an even grid of tiles you can upload in order for a giant, eye-catching grid layout — or as a swipeable carousel.

Size posts so nothing gets cropped

Instagram crops to set ratios. Fit a whole photo onto a square or 4:5 canvas with a clean background so your composition stays intact.

Open Anpassa till kvadrat

Crop to exact dimensions

When you need pixel-perfect output for a template or ad, crop and scale to exact dimensions rather than eyeballing it.

Open Beskär till storlek

Combine photos into a collage

Want several shots in one post? Arrange two to four photos into a single tidy grid collage.
