Upload an image to see it split across your profile grid. Numbers show the posting order.
How to post your grid
- Choose a photo, the number of rows, and the grid shape. Keep faces and text away from the cut lines.
- Download the tiles. File names start with the posting order, so grid-01-post-first.jpg goes up first.
- Post them from 01 upward, one after another. Instagram shows your newest post at the top left, so the bottom-right tile has to go first.
- Unpin pinned posts while you post, or they will shift the grid by one.
Tile size and the tall profile grid
Every tile is 1080 × 1350 px, the 4:5 portrait size in Instagram’s image resolution guide. The Instagram app accepts photos up to 3:4, but posts published through the API, including scheduled ones, stop at 4:5, so I export 4:5 to keep the tiles usable anywhere.
In January 2025 Instagram switched profiles to a tall grid. Instagram does not publish the thumbnail ratio; it is widely reported as 3:4, which hides a strip about 34 px wide on each side of a 4:5 post. With the 3:4 shape, the tool lines up the visible parts edge to edge, so the picture is seamless on your profile and each tile still looks complete when opened. If your profile shows posts uncropped, choose 4:5.

Instagram grid maker FAQ
In what order do I post the tiles?
Bottom-right first, top-left last. Instagram puts the newest post at the top-left of your profile, so the tile numbered 01 goes up first and the highest number goes up last. Post them back to back so nothing lands in between.
What size are the tiles?
Each tile is 1080 × 1350 px, Instagram’s 4:5 portrait feed size. It is the tallest size Instagram keeps for posts published through its API, so the tiles also work with schedulers.
Why do the tiles overlap a little?
The profile grid shows a 3:4 crop of each 4:5 post, hiding a strip about 34 px wide on each side. The tool lines up the visible parts edge to edge, so the hidden strips repeat a sliver of the neighbouring tile and the picture looks seamless on your profile.
Will pinned posts break my grid?
Yes. Pinned posts sit at the start of the grid and push everything along by one, so unpin them while you post the tiles or plan the grid around them.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is split by your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to PostQuest, and there is no sign-up, watermark, or limit.
Can I schedule the tiles with PostQuest?
Yes. Schedule them a few minutes apart in posting order. PostQuest checks each tile against Instagram’s limits before it is scheduled.
Post the tiles on a schedule
I built PostQuest to schedule posts like these. Add the tiles a few minutes apart in posting order with the Instagram post scheduler, and each one is checked against Instagram’s limits before it goes out.
Schedule posts that pass these checks
PostQuest validates every caption and file against these limits before a post is scheduled, so nothing fails at publish time.
