What is the Image Splitter?#
The Image Splitter cuts an image into equal tiles along a grid you choose, with presets for common layouts. Each tile is saved as its own file, or all of them can be packaged into a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.
How to Use#
- Add an image by dropping it, pasting it, or choosing a file.
- Pick a pattern such as 2 × 2, or adjust the rows and columns.
- Choose the output format if you need something other than the source format.
- Download the tiles you need, or save all of them as a ZIP file.
Split Settings#
- Split pattern: presets for common uses, such as X (Twitter) 4 tiles (2 × 2), Instagram 9 tiles (3 × 3), and Panorama 3 tiles (1 × 3). Left & right (1 × 2), Top & bottom (2 × 1), and 6-tile grid (2 × 3) are also available. You can set the rows and columns directly instead.
- Rows and columns: set each from 1 to 8, for up to 64 tiles.
- Output format: Same as source keeps PNG, JPG, and WebP images in their original format. GIF, BMP, and AVIF images are saved as PNG. You can also convert every tile to PNG, JPG, or WebP.
- Tile size: when the image does not divide evenly, the leftover pixels are spread across the tiles, so sizes can differ by one pixel. Each tile shows its exact dimensions.
- File names: tiles are named like
photo-r1c2.png. Row and column numbers start at 1 in the top-left tile.
Common Use Cases#
- Posting one image as a grid across a social profile.
- Cutting a wide banner into sections for a carousel or a step-by-step reveal.
- Splitting a sprite sheet into individual sprites for a game project.
- Separating the panels of a collage into individual images.
FAQ#
PNG tiles keep the image as it is. JPG and WebP tiles are encoded again, so a small loss is possible. PNG is the better choice when quality matters.
Only the first frame is used. The animation is not carried over to the tiles.
No, SVG is not supported. Save it as PNG or JPG first, then split the result.
There is no fixed limit, but very large images take longer and may not load on devices with less memory. If an image fails to load, try a smaller one.
Notes#
- JPG cannot store transparency. Transparent areas become white in JPG tiles.
