When we spotted Alex\u2019s giant photo grid<\/a> (made with our Square Prints<\/a>!) on Instagram we flipped out<\/i> over how good it looked – and regrammed it so fast.<\/p>\n

We got a lot of questions along the lines of \u201chow did he do that?\u201d So, we\u2019re here to answer.<\/p>\n

We’ve gathered three, yup three, ways to turn one photo you love into an amazing photo grid.<\/p>\n

And, if you want to try it out yourself, remember our 4\u201d Square Prints<\/a> are always free (yup, $0.00 + shipping). You can upgrade to a set of 5.5\u201d prints for just $5 – and make an extra big grid.<\/p>\n


\n\"How<\/p>\n

The Quickest Way to Make a Little Grid<\/h3>\n

There are apps made to help you split up a photo, so you can post pieces to Instagram to make one big photo show up when you look at your profile (neat, huh?).<\/p>\n

We used Griddy<\/a> to divide up a shot into a 3 x 4 grid. The only downside is that you can only make a grid three photos wide, since it\u2019s designed to go on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Want a bigger grid? Keep scrolling.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Let The Internet Split It Up for You<\/h3>\n

Rasterbator.net<\/a> is a great site for splitting up your photo. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t work so well on your phone, so you\u2019re going to need to grab a compy for this one.<\/p>\n

Upload the photo of your choice and change \u201cPaper Setting\u201d to \u201cCustom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set the dimensions to 200mm x 200mm. This will make the square photo files that are generated, plenty big enough to print on our 4″ or 5.5″ squares.<\/p>\n

Uncheck the \u201cAdd margin\u201d option – our Square Prints already have a border, so you don\u2019t want to double up.<\/p>\n

Adjust the \u201cOutput Size\u201d till the preview is split up just how you like it. Click on through the next few screens and your photo will be split up as if by magic (or computer \u2026 same thing?)<\/p>\n

One slight hitch here is that Rasterbator spits out your newly split squares as a PDF, so you\u2019ll need to export the pages as jpgs, or use an online converter (like this one<\/a>) before you place your order.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Photoshop It Up (Just Like Alex)<\/h3>\n

Alex used Photoshop, so if you\u2019ve got access to the Creative Cloud, you can can do the splitting yourself.<\/p>\n

Grab that \u201cSlice\u201d tool (right click on crop to find it). Set it to fixed aspect ratio (1:1).<\/p>\n

We put the first slice over the part of the photo that we definitely wanted intact (our pal Darby there in the middle), then lined up more slices in a grid around it.<\/p>\n

Finally, \u201cSave for Web\u201d and you\u2019ll get a folder full of jpegs just waiting to be ordered up as Square Prints.<\/p>\n

Try it Out for Free<\/h3>\n

Grab a set of 20, 4″ Square Prints<\/a> for free, or just $5 for a set of 5.5\u201d squares – just pitch in for shipping.<\/p>\n

Use the #parabopress<\/a> when you post a photo of your creation. We want to see it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
