ImageSplitIllustrators and artists
Turn one tall or wide artwork into a compact timeline fragment that opens into a larger composition.
X image splitter
X shows a compact grid in the timeline and the full set after a tap. Numbered files follow top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. Default is 2×2 with crop.

What is X Image Splitter?
X Image Splitter cuts one image into a small timeline grid or a longer reveal. Choose the shape, adjust the crop, and export files in the order they should be attached to one post.
How it works
Prepare an X grid
- 1
Upload and reframe
Zoom, rotate, or mirror until the reveal reads in the 2×2, 1×2, or 4×1 frame.
- 2
Export numbered tiles
File names already match the upload order for X: 1 is top-left in 2×2.
- 3
Attach them in order
Add 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 in a single post. Do not drag them into a different sequence in the composer.

Tips before you download
Make the first fragment compelling
The initial tile should contain enough contrast or intrigue to earn the tap.
Check every seam
Thin lines and faces can look broken when a crop is slightly off.
Keep the order intact
Attach exported files in sequence so the timeline preview matches the composition.
Next steps
Keep creating with ImageSplit
Tap the Post
Create reveal tiles for the tap-the-post format on X. Crop to 2×2, 1×2, or 4×1 so the timeline shows fragments and a tap opens the whole frame.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 2×2 upload order?
Top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. That is files 1–4 in the ZIP. Attaching them out of order is the usual reason a reveal looks scrambled.
Which layout should I pick?
2×2 is the usual four-tile reveal. 1×2 is a wide pair. 4×1 suits very tall illustrations. Crop, rotate, and mirror on this page until the timeline grid reads.
Are images uploaded?
No. Crop, split, and ZIP all happen locally in the browser.
Why do tiles look misaligned on X?
Usually the upload order is wrong, or the crop does not match the layout. Re-export after Fit/Center, then upload in numbered order. Split in 4 uses reading-order names without this crop, so do not mix the ZIPs.
