How to use Slice a JPG
- 1. Add the photo to cut. Drop in the JPG you want divided into equal strips. The tool measures its dimensions to compute where each cut falls.
- 2. Choose orientation and strip count. Select Strips as Horizontal (stacked) or Vertical (side by side), then set Number of strips to how many equal pieces you want the image divided into.
- 3. Download the strip files. The tool cuts the image into equal strips and packages them into a zip. Download banner-slices.zip and use the individual files for a layout, a carousel or a printed strip sequence.
When to use Slice a JPG
Slice a JPG cuts a photo into a set number of equal horizontal or vertical strips, delivered as separate files in a zip. It is a fast way to turn one image into pieces you can arrange, animate or lay out independently rather than editing the original.
- Cutting a banner into columns for a layout. A wide banner image needs to become three separate column images for a responsive layout. Slicing it vertically into three strips gives you exactly the assets a template needs.
- Building a horizontal scroll animation. You want a strip-reveal animation effect on a webpage, showing pieces of an image scrolling in one after another. Slicing horizontally provides each stacked segment as its own file.
- Preparing print materials that fold into panels. A brochure or leporello fold needs each panel as a separate image file matching the fold lines. Slicing the full artwork vertically into that many strips does the split for you.
- Creating individual frames from a panoramic shot. A wide panorama needs to be broken into equal segments for a multi-frame photo display. Slicing it into vertical strips produces those frames without manual cropping.
