Split an image into a grid of tiles for a multi-post feed
iEdit cuts one photo into a grid of 1 to 5 columns by 1 to 6 rows on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, numbered row by row from the top left. Tiles are cut without resampling, and an option crops to square tiles for an Instagram-style grid.
Overview
Set the columns, 1 to 5, and the rows, 1 to 6, and iEdit shows how many pieces you get and their size. Turn on square pieces and the picture is cropped from the centre so every tile is a perfect square, ready for a grid of posts. Pieces are numbered row by row from the top left, so you know the order to post them in. The result is one image per tile, saved to My files.
Nothing is resampled. Each tile is a direct cut of the original pixels, so a 12-megapixel photo split into a 3 × 3 grid gives nine tiles with the full sharpness of the source, and colour profiles and EXIF details stay with each piece. HEIC and WebP go in as readily as JPEG and PNG. If a picture is too small for the number of pieces you asked for, iEdit tells you rather than producing tiny tiles.
Grid posts, where a profile shows one large picture across three, six or nine tiles, are the obvious use; puzzle posts and printing a large photo across several sheets are others. The split runs on your device with no upload and no account needed, your original photo is left exactly as it was, and the numbered tiles wait in My files in posting order.

Frequently asked questions
How do I split a photo into 9 for Instagram?
Open Image splitter in iEdit, choose 3 columns and 3 rows, and turn on square pieces so the photo is centre-cropped into nine equal squares. Tap Split and the tiles land in My files, numbered 1 to 9 from the top left so you can post them in order.
Do the tiles lose quality?
No. iEdit cuts the tiles straight from the original pixels without resampling, so each piece has the same sharpness as the source, and the colour profile and EXIF details are carried into every tile. Only the square option crops; it never scales.
Is the image splitter free, and is anything uploaded?
Splitting is free and the tiles are saved to My files at no cost; nothing is uploaded, because the work happens on your device. Sharing the tiles or saving them to your photo library is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
