If you’re using the template shown in this blog post example you will want to select the 4 row grid indicated below.įrom there the app will take you through a few editing steps. Next depending on the size of IG puzzle you’ve created you can choose the 3 row grid or the 4 row grid. Step 4: Upload your puzzle image and go through the App stepsĪfter you open the Grid Post Maker app select the option for Photo Grids. The Grid Post Maker app is a free app you can install on your phone, but honestly it’s just worth paying the $6 to have it for life because the ads on the free version are really annoying. OPTION 2: If you have a Mac/iPhone you can use AirDrop to transfer the images from computer to phone. Open your email on your phone and download the image from there to your camera roll.

If you decide to create your own just be careful where the image will be sliced so any paragraphs of text are not cut off by accident. Just update the template in Canva by the changing colors, font, dropping in your own photos and updating all filler text to have your own message or quotes written on the entire image. If you choose to purchase a pre-made Canva template for this the creator should have already designed it so it will slice up in the right places. We HIGHLY recommend doing this part on your the desktop version of Canva and not your phone – it will be much easier. You can either purchase a predesigned Canva template like the one you see below, or create your own.
