One coastal photo, nine tiles. Post in the numbered order, starting with 1.

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Upload one image

    Choose a wide source with a subject that can span three adjacent squares. Avoid tiny text near the planned divisions.

  2. 2.Check the direction

    The default is one horizontal row containing three columns. Review the square tile preview before downloading.

  3. 3.Save three tiles

    Download the PNG files or the ZIP. Use the visual positions and posting guide for your intended arrangement.

Before I download

Does this combine three different photos?

No. It divides one source into three pieces. Use a collage page to put three separate photographs into one combined picture.

Which tile should I publish first?

Post files from post-01 upward. The default feed guide already accounts for the reversed visual order. If you want a left-to-right swipe sequence inside one post, choose a carousel splitter with forward slide numbering.

Three columns, one row

Grid names can reverse the row and column order, so this page states the layout explicitly. The starting composition has three tiles beside one another, not three tiles stacked vertically. Square tiles make the combined preview three times as wide as it is tall. To create a vertical strip, switch to three rows and one column in the controls.

Choose an image for a horizontal strip

A panorama, tabletop arrangement, or wide illustrated banner can fit this layout more naturally than a portrait. Check that the outer thirds contain useful content and that the middle division does not cut through a face. Selecting a portrait tile ratio changes the combined strip proportions, so inspect the crop again after switching shapes.
