This Python script, split_image_for_instagram.py, is designed to split any given image into multiple square parts for aesthetically pleasing Instagram posting. It creates a grid of images that, when uploaded in sequence, will display as one large, cohesive image on your Instagram profile.
- Splits an image into a 3xN grid (3 columns, N rows).
- Adjusts the number of rows based on the image size.
- Saves each section of the grid as a separate file for easy posting.
- Python 3.x
- Pillow Library
Before running the script, ensure you have Python installed on your system and install the Pillow library using pip:
pip install Pillow
- Place the
split_image_for_instagram.pyscript in the same directory as the image you want to split. - If your image is named differently than
bg.png, you'll need to specify the image name when calling the function. - Run the script:
python split_image_for_instagram.py - The script will generate multiple images named
instagram_post_1.png,instagram_post_2.png, etc., in the same directory.
To split an image named my_photo.png, edit the main function call at the bottom of the script like this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
split_image_for_instagram('my_photo.png')Then run the script.
If you encounter any issues, ensure that:
- The image file is in the same directory as the script.
- The image file name is correctly spelled in the script.
- You have the necessary permissions to read the image file and write new files in the directory.
