What’s the mosaic?
Just look at what they do with their accounts, for example @micahnotfound or @ c.syresmith. You can do the same.
How to make?
Desktop editors
You can split a photo into equal parts in any graphic editor, such as Photoshop or GIMP. Just open the photo in the editor, divide it into equal square parts and save each part in a separate file.
Photoshop
In the “View” menu, choose “Show” → “Grid”. Go to the “Edit” menu and open “Settings” → “Guides, Grid and Snippets”.
You can divide the image into parts depending on what panorama you want to create. Just enter the desired value in the “Internal division by” field.
Now, when your image is divided into parts, select and copy the necessary fragments into separate files.
GIMP
Go to the “View” menu and enable the “Show grid” and “Cling to grid” options. Then click on “Image”, select “Configure Grid” and divide the image into parts.
Select parts of the image one by one, copy and save them in separate files using “File” → “Create” → “From clipboard”. Use the hotkeys Ctrl + C and Shift + Ctrl + V to speed up the process.
Web services
You can split the photo into equal parts using web services, such as Griddrawingtool.com and Imgonline.com. It’s faster and easier.
When the image is cut, you can start downloading. Just remember that the bottom right of the photo should be loaded first, and the upper left – the last one.
Mobile applications
There is a large number of mobile applications that create and load mosaics in Instagram. With them you do not have to bother with working in graphic editors.
iOS
Grid-it
This application is able to cut into pieces the photos or images you made in your gallery. True, you will have to download the fragments in Instagram one at a time.
Grids
Another application for splitting photos into parts. You do not need to save each fragment separately, because the application is built in the ability to send snippets directly to Instagram. You can choose colors and gradients for the fragments to diversify your mosaic.
Android
9square
A very simple application, cropping photos and uploading to Instagram. You can select a grid size of 3 × 1, 3 × 2, 3 × 3, 3 × 4 or 3 × 5.
9Cut
Analog 9square, absolutely identical in functionality.
