Frequently Asked Questions

Image Splitter supports PNG, JPG, and WebP formats for input. You can export split parts as either:

PNG — Lossless quality, ideal for graphics with transparency

Most popular grid size

Is there a maximum image size?

Since all processing happens in your browser, the maximum size depends on your device's memory. Most devices handle images up to 5000×5000 pixels without issues.

Performance Tip: For very large images, consider using JPG output format with 80-90% quality to reduce processing time and file sizes.

What happens if the image doesn't divide evenly?

The tool automatically handles uneven divisions using smart pixel distribution:

The last row receives any remaining vertical pixels
The last column receives any remaining horizontal pixels
No part of your image is lost or cropped
All parts maintain proper aspect ratios

Example: A 1000×1000px image split into 3×3 grid creates parts of 333×333px, with the last row and column being 334px to account for the remaining pixel.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

How are the output files named?

Each part is named using the pattern {original-name}_{row}-{col}.png for easy organization and identification.

Example: Splitting "photo.jpg" into a 3×3 grid produces:

File naming pattern

photo_1-1.png  photo_1-2.png  photo_1-3.png
photo_2-1.png  photo_2-2.png  photo_2-3.png
photo_3-1.png  photo_3-2.png  photo_3-3.png

Files are numbered from left to right, top to bottom, making it easy to upload them in the correct order for Instagram grid layouts.
