To create a 3:3 grid, enter 3 under the Columns Number and 3 under the Rows Number. To create a 3:2 grid, enter 3 under the Columns Number and 2 under the Rows Number. This creates six perfect squares. To create a 3:1 grid, enter 3 under the Columns Number and 1 under the Rows Number. This creates three perfect squares. Get rid of all the Margins values (if there are any) and fill only the Columns and Rows numbers.

Tip: The grid can’t be larger than three pictures - this is Instagram’s maximum width. A three-row high grid (which creates a huge square) is 3:3. This will allow you to precisely place a guide.Ī single-row grid on Instagram - which means one picture high by three pictures wide - is a 3:1 ratio. The first step is to resize perfectly your photo.
