IG Grid Maker features

  • Anti-recrop algorithm. Creates 3:4 previews then adds padding so Instagram’s 4:5 crop doesn’t cut content.
  • Preset & custom grids. Quick presets 1x3-4x3 and custom layouts up to 6x6 rows × columns.
  • Browser-based processing. All calculations run locally; files never leave the user’s device.
  • Web Worker acceleration. Uses Web Workers to process large images without freezing the UI.
  • ZIP & single file export. Download all slices as a ZIP or individual files with correct order.
