How to use

- Choose the number of slides (2 to 10) and the slide aspect: Square 1:1 or Portrait 4:5.
- Click Generate slides and preview each PNG slice in the grid.
- Download the slides individually or all at once, then post slide-1 first through to the last in order.
Frequently asked questions
Will the slides line up seamlessly when I swipe?
Yes. The image is cover-fit across one continuous strip that spans the full width of all slides, then each slide takes its own vertical slice from the same scaled image, so the edges match exactly and the picture stays continuous as you swipe.
How many slides can I create?
You can split your image into anywhere from 2 to 10 slides. Instagram carousels support up to 10 items, so this covers a full post. Pick the number that fits how wide your image is.
What aspect ratios and image formats are supported?
You can output slides as Square 1:1 or Portrait 4:5, the two sizes Instagram recommends. You can load any common image (JPG, PNG or WebP), and each slide is exported as a PNG.
In what order should I post the slides?
Post them in order, from slide-1 first to the highest-numbered slide last. Instagram shows carousel items left to right, so posting in sequence keeps the wide image continuous as your followers swipe.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitting runs entirely in your browser on a canvas, so your image never leaves your device and nothing is sent to a server. It is completely private and free.
What size are the exported slides?
Each slide is 1080px tall (the safe long-edge size for Instagram), which makes a Square 1:1 slide 1080×1080 and a Portrait 4:5 slide 864×1080. Every slide is saved as a PNG at that resolution.
