How to use Split an Image
- 1. Upload the image to tile. Add any image file you want broken into a grid of separate pieces.
- 2. Set the Rows and Columns. Enter how many rows and columns to divide the image into, such as 3 and 3 for nine even tiles. More rows and columns produce smaller, more numerous pieces.
- 3. Download the tile grid. Save the zip file containing every tile as a separate image, ready to use individually or reassemble elsewhere.
When to use Split an Image
Split an Image divides a picture into a grid of tiles you can download separately, useful anywhere a single image needs to become several standalone files. Set the row and column count and get back a folder of numbered pieces.
- Making a multi-panel Instagram grid post. A single wide photo needs to become several square tiles that line up correctly across a social media profile grid. Splitting it into the right rows and columns produces those pieces directly.
- Preparing sprite tiles for a game. A large background image needs to be chopped into smaller tiles for a game engine's tile-based rendering system. Splitting it into a grid gives exactly that.
- Sending a large image within a file size limit. A single high-resolution image is too large for a platform's per-file upload limit. Splitting it into a grid of smaller tiles lets you send it in pieces that each clear the cap.
Examples
3×3 grid
Input
photo.png + 3 rows, 3 columns
Output
photo-tiles.zip with 9 tiles
About the Split an Image tool
Split an Image does its work locally, right in the browser. Split an image into a grid of tiles you can download separately. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the Image Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 200 small, focused Image utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
You can shape the output with 2 settings, including Rows and Columns, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. The finished file is put together in browser memory and saved with the Download button, so it never touches a server on the way to your disk. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.

Is Split an Image free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Are my files uploaded to a server?

Which files does Split an Image accept?
It accepts images in any common format (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and more). There is no file size cap imposed by a server; very large files are limited only by your device's memory.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
How do I save the output?
Click the Download button once the result is ready. The file is built in your browser's memory and handed straight to your downloads folder, without passing through a server.
