Guide

How a puzzle grid works

Instagram lays your posts out three to a row, newest first. A grid maker cuts one picture into tiles of that exact shape, so when they are all posted the profile shows one big image.

RowsTilesBest image size (3:4)
133240 × 1440 px
263240 × 2880 px
393240 × 4320 px
4123240 × 5760 px
5153240 × 7200 px

Tips

  • Keep the main subject away from the lines between tiles, so faces and words are not cut.
  • Every tile is also a post on its own: check each one still makes sense when opened alone.
  • Post all the tiles within a few minutes so followers see the picture come together.
  • Preview your whole grid before you post, with carousels and Reels.

For a 3 × 3 grid in the 3:4 shape, a 3240 × 4320 px image keeps every tile at full quality. Smaller images work too, the tiles are just softer.

Yes, every new post shifts the grid by one. Post in groups of three to keep the rows lined up, or plan the whole grid first with the free Instagram grid planner.
