Grid Cutter

About this plugin

Cut one large frame into a clean, multi-row Instagram grid — 3 columns wide, any number of rows, with the correct upload order worked out for you.What it does• Cuts your frame into a grid that's always 3 columns wide (matching Instagram's feed layout), with as many rows as you need — 3 rows for a classic 9-tile grid, 5 rows for 15 tiles, or any count in between• Exports every tile as a separate PNG at your chosen resolution• Labels each file with the correct upload order — since Instagram inserts new posts at the top-left, you need to post starting from the bottom-right tile for the finished grid to line up correctlyHow to size your frameYour frame's width divided by 3, and its height divided by the number of rows, needs to land on your chosen tile ratio.Example: a 3045 × 6720px frame cut into 5 rows gives 15 tiles at 1015 × 1344px each — a clean 3:4 ratio, ready for Instagram's grid-visible format.Quick way to plan it:1. Decide your row count (rows × 3 = total tiles)2. Pick a tile ratio — 4:5 (1080×1350, standard post upload), 3:4 (1080×1440, shows fully in the grid with no crop), or 1:1 (legacy square)3. Multiply: frame width = 3 × tile width, frame height = rows × tile height4. Design your artwork across the whole frame as one continuous imageHow to use it1. Select your frame (or rectangle/component) on the canvas2. Open Grid Cutter3. Set tile ratio, row count, and export scale4. Click Cut & Export — if your frame's proportions don't match your selected ratio, the plugin tells you the exact size to resize to, or lets you cut anyway5. Download all the PNGs and upload to Instagram in the numbered order shown (bottom-right tile first, working up to top-left)Tip: if designing at 4:5, keep key artwork within the center 3:4 area of each tile — the top and bottom slivers of a 4:5 post get cropped out of grid view and are only visible when someone taps into that individual post.Made by Ashil EdakkodanBehance: behance.net/aslashil
