Grid Maker

😫 The Pain Point

You want that “Giant Header” on your Instagram profile (9 individual squares making one big picture). Cropping this manually in Photoshop requires calculating exact pixels. One pixel off, and you see ugly white lines in the feed.

🚀 Agentic Solution

Precision Splitter: Mathematically divides the image into perfect tiles.

Key Features:

• Grid Options: 3x1, 3x2, 3x3.
• Auto Numbering: Names files 01.jpg to 09.jpg in the exact upload order needed by Instagram.

⚔️ Phase 1: Commander (Quick Fix)

For a single campaign.

Prompt:

“Split poster.jpg into 9 equal tiles (3x3 grid). Save them as individual images.”

Result: 9 jigsaw puzzle pieces.

🏗️ Phase 2: Architect (Permanent Tool)

For Social Media Managers.

Engineering Prompt:

**Role:** Python Image Developer
**Task:** Create an "Instagram Grid Splitter".
**Requirements:**
1.  **GUI:**
    *   Select Image.
    *   Grid Type Selection (3x1 vs 3x3).
    *   "Split" button.
2.  **Logic:**
    *   Width = Image Width / 3.
    *   Crop loops.
    *   **Crucial:** Naming convention. Provide files numbered `1.jpg` to `9.jpg` corresponding to the upload order (Bottom-Right first? or Top-Left?). Guide the user.
3.  **Deliverables:** `grid_maker.py`, `run.bat` (Windows), `run.sh` (Mac).

🧠 Prompt Decoding

• Upload Order: Instagram feeds are filled from the bottom-left stack? No, latest is top-left. But you upload chronologically. The logic of “which photo to post first” is tricky. A good tool names them 1-PostThisFirst.jpg to guide the user.

🛠️ Instructions

1. Copy Prompt -> Paste -> Run.
2. Select Image -> 3x3 -> Split.
