Stylish Ways to Create Instagram Grid Posts (Split Images) and 3 Tips to Make Them Look Beautiful
We explain how to create "grid posts (split posts)" that treat your Instagram profile screen as a giant canvas, and the secret to splitting them beautifully without losing image quality.
What is the Appeal of Grid Posts (Split Images)?
This is a technique that utilizes the "3 column" layout of the Instagram profile screen to split a single large photo into 3 or 9 parts and post them consecutively. It can leave a strong impact on users visiting the profile and is often used by brand and creator accounts.
It is highly effective when you want to announce new products or highlight photos of special events.
3 Tips to Make It Look Beautiful
- Prepare high-resolution original images: When creating a 3x3 (9 splits) grid, the image size per piece becomes smaller. If you do not use high-quality photos of at least 3000px in width, they will become blurry after splitting.
- Be careful of the subject's center shifting: It is important to adjust the cropping position in advance so that the dividing line does not pass right through the middle of the person's eyes or face.
- Never make a mistake in the posting order: Images must be posted in order starting from the "bottom right" part. If you get the order wrong, the picture will not be complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How many splits do you recommend the most?
A. 3 splits (1 row) or 9 splits (3 rows) have the best balance and are the standard styles.
Q. Won't it misalign if I post other photos after posting?
A. Yes, if you post one photo after a grid post, the whole thing will shift. To prevent misalignment, you always need to make new posts in sets of 3.
