Instagram Story Grid Maker

Combine several photos into one Instagram Story grid collage on a single 1080 × 1920 canvas. Pick from 18 ready-made layouts or build a custom rows × columns grid, crop and arrange each photo, style the spacing and borders, then export one finished image — all free and entirely in your browser.

Grid Layouts and Collage Options

2–4 photo grids

Side-by-side or quadrant layouts for a quick, balanced collage.

6 & 9 photo grids

Denser layouts to tell a fuller story in one frame.

Custom rows × columns

Set your own grid and let each photo fill its cell.

Per-cell framing

Fill or Fit each photo, then zoom, drag, rotate and flip.

Spacing & borders

Tune the gap, outer margin, corner radius and borders.

Backgrounds

Solid, gradient or transparent, with curated presets.

Spacing, Borders and Background

The spacing controls are what make a grid look intentional. Tighten the cell gap to nearly zero for a seamless mosaic, or open it up for an airy, modern look. Add an outer margin to float the collage inside a coloured border, round the corners for a softer feel, and set cell or outer borders to separate busy photos. A solid, gradient or transparent background ties everything together.

A Story Grid vs. Splitting Across Slides

It helps to know what this tool does and does not do. A story grid arranges multiple photos into one image on a single canvas — everything you see is combined into one exported file. That is different from splitting one large picture into several separate story slides, and different again from video. This maker produces a single still collage; it does not slice an image into multiple slides or create video content.

Exporting Your Grid

When the layout looks right, choose a canvas size — Story 9:16 (1080 × 1920), Reel Cover, Feed Portrait 4:5, Square, Landscape or a custom size — and export one finished image as PNG, JPEG or WebP at the exact dimensions. You can undo and redo, shuffle the photos, preview the clean result and save an editable project to continue later. Your images never leave your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Instagram Story grid?

A story grid arranges several photos into one layout on a single 9:16 story canvas — for example two, four or nine photos in neat rows and columns. This maker builds that single combined image. It is different from splitting one picture across multiple story slides; here everything lives in one exported graphic.

How many photos can I put in one grid?

You can choose from 18 ready-made layouts holding 2 to 9 photos, or build a custom grid by setting your own number of rows and columns. Each photo drops into its own cell, which you can crop, zoom, reposition, rotate and flip.

Can I control the spacing and borders between photos?

Yes. You can adjust the gap between cells, the outer margin, the corner radius, and both the cell and outer borders, plus set a solid, gradient or transparent background. This lets you make a tight seamless collage or an airy, spaced-out grid.

Does this split one photo across multiple story slides?

No. This tool combines multiple photos into one grid image on a single canvas. It does not slice a single image into separate slides or panels, and it does not create video.

What canvas sizes can I export?

You can pick Story 9:16 (1080 × 1920), Reel Cover, Feed Portrait 4:5, Square, Landscape or a custom size, then export one finished image as PNG, JPEG or WebP at the exact dimensions you selected.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs client-side in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and you can save an editable project file to continue later on the same device.

Is the grid maker free to use?

Yes. It is completely free with no account and no watermark on the exported image. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Instagram.
