Split Image

A carousel post out of one wide photo, a poster printed across four sheets, a sprite sheet taken apart. All of it is the same action: cut the picture and get the pieces. The grid is drawn over your image first, so you see where the cuts go before anything is produced.

Pieces come out as PNG in one archive: nine separate downloads would mean nine save dialogs, and mobile Safari loses half of them. Nothing is uploaded — the cutting happens in your browser.

How to use

  1. Choose the picture.
  2. Set the grid — rows and columns — or the size of one piece.
  3. Press the button and download the archive with all the pieces.

Good to know

Where the leftover pixels go

A width of 1000 does not divide into three, and the three usual answers are all bad: crop the remainder and lose a strip, stretch the last piece and make it a different size, or hand the whole remainder to the first piece and skew the grid. Here the leftover is dealt out one pixel at a time: 334, 333, 333. The difference is invisible and no pixel is lost.

Everything in one archive

Nine pieces as nine separate downloads means nine save dialogs, and mobile Safari quietly drops half of them. So the pieces come as PNG files inside a single ZIP, named by row and column — «photo-2-3.png» is the second row, third column, which is the order you will need when putting them back.

Frequently asked questions

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The cutting happens in your browser and the archive is built there too.

Why PNG and not JPEG?

Because a piece is often part of something that will be edited further, and JPEG loses a little quality at every save. PNG keeps the pixels exactly.

Can I cut into pieces of a fixed size?

Yes — switch to «By piece size» and give the width and height. The pieces along the right and bottom edges will be smaller, which is honest: padding them would change the picture.

How many pieces can I get?

Up to a hundred. More than that is not cutting but crumbling, and the browser would struggle with the memory.
