Grid Screenshot Import

Bring your current profile into the planner. Upload a home-screen screenshot, frame the 3-column grid by hand, tune the tile gap to match the white seams, then slice posts into Existing tiles you can reorder.

Frame your profile grid

Drop a home-screen screenshot, frame the 3-column grid, and reorder it before you touch the app.

Drag & drop, paste, or click — JPG, PNG or WebP.

How it works

  1. Upload a profile screenshot

    Capture your profile grid on your phone and drop the image here. Processing stays on-device.

  2. Frame the 3-column grid

    Drag the edges to cover only the posts. Set rows and tile gap so cut lines sit on the white seams — not inside a photo.

  3. Add tiles to the planner

    Confirm to slice Existing tiles — you will land on Grid Feed Planner automatically to reorder and export a mockup.

Frame the 3-column grid, then reorder it before you post.

Import what you already posted

Most planners start from a blank grid. Screenshot Import is for the other case: you already have a live profile and want to try a new order before touching the phone. Frame the current grid, slice it into Existing tiles, then rearrange next to Future posts.

Manual framing on purpose

Automatic grid detection is deferred. Manual edges keep you in control when status bars, highlights, or safe-area insets shift between devices. Pair framing with tile gap so cuts respect Instagram’s hairline seams between posts.

Start with a clear, complete profile grid

Capture the profile view at a steady zoom with the rows you want to test visible on screen. It is fine if the screenshot includes a status bar, profile header, or navigation, because the framing controls let you exclude them. What matters is that the three post columns are visible and the grid seams can be identified before you confirm the cut.

Treat screenshot tiles as a planning reference

An imported screenshot helps you test order, color balance, and visual rhythm; it is not an account sync or a replacement for your original files. After you reach the planner, keep the screenshot tiles as Existing references or replace selected tiles with higher-resolution originals while preserving the new layout.

Continue in the Feed Planner

After import, you are redirected to Grid Feed Planner automatically — reorder, pin, and export from there. For posting-order tips and the mobile-only reorder caveat, see How to reorder your grid.

Frequently asked questions

Why do cut lines miss the white gaps?

Profile grids have thin seams between posts. Use Tile gap (pixels) so the slicer skips those seams. Raise the value if a neighbor bleeds in; lower it if a white strip appears inside a tile.

Does this connect to my Instagram account?

No. You upload a screenshot only. There is no login, sync, or upload to a server.

What happens after I import?

Tiles join your local planner as Existing posts and you are redirected to Grid Feed Planner. Drag-reorder, replace a low-res tile with the original photo, and export a mockup.

How many posts can I import from one screenshot?

Choose 3 to 5 rows in the fixed 3-column profile grid. That produces 9 to 15 Existing tiles, which matches the planner’s project limit.

What kind of screenshot works best?

Use a clear profile screenshot with the post grid visible at a consistent scale. You can exclude the top profile area, then drag the frame around the three post columns and tune the tile gap for the visible seams.

Can I improve an imported tile later?

Yes. Screenshot tiles are useful for planning, but they may be lower resolution than the original post. In the planner, replace an Existing tile with its original image without changing its position.
