Terms of Service

Last updated: August 7, 2026

These terms are a legal agreement between you and the operator of freeinstagramgridmaker.com (“the site”, “we”, “us”) governing your use of the site and the grid-splitting tool on it.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the site you agree to be bound by these terms and by our privacy policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree with any part of them, do not use the site.

If you are using the site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the site. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. The site is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children.

What the service is

The site is a single web page that divides an image you choose into nine equal square tiles, sized for a 3×3 Instagram profile grid, and lets you download them individually or as a ZIP archive.

All processing happens in your own browser using standard web APIs. There is no account, no subscription and no charge. We do not receive, transmit or store the images you process — see the privacy policy for the technical detail.

Your licence to use the site

Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, worldwide, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the site for its intended purpose. This licence covers both personal and commercial use — you may use the tiles you produce in your own business's marketing, or in work you deliver to a client, at no cost and with no attribution required.

The licence does not permit you to copy, redistribute, resell or rehost the site itself, or to present it as your own product.

Your images stay yours

You retain every right you already held in the images you process. We claim no ownership, licence, or interest of any kind in them — not to display them, not to improve a service, not to train a model, not for anything else.

This is not merely a promise. Because the tool runs entirely in your browser and your files never reach us, we could not use your images even if we wanted to. There is nothing for us to have rights over.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use each image you process — that you own it, have a licence for it, or are otherwise entitled to use it.

Acceptable use

Use the site sensibly and lawfully. You are responsible for the images you process and for what you do with the tiles you download, including complying with the terms of any platform you post them to. Instagram has its own rules and they apply to you independently of these terms.

Prohibited uses

You agree not to:

• Process images you do not have the right to use, or use the site to infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights;
• Produce material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or that sexualises minors;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its hosting infrastructure, or any connected system;
• Probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the site, or breach any security or authentication measure;
• Use automated means to overload, flood or otherwise impair the servers that deliver the site;
• Copy, mirror, frame or rehost the site, or create a derivative service from its code;
• Remove or obscure any notice on the site, or misrepresent your affiliation with us;
• Use the site in violation of any applicable law, export control or sanctions regime.

No account, no recovery

There is no registration, no login and no stored history. A consequence worth stating plainly: we cannot recover anything for you. If you close the tab before downloading your tiles, they are gone and must be regenerated from the original photo. Keep your source images safe; we hold no copy of anything.

Availability and changes

The site is provided free of charge. We may change, suspend, limit or discontinue it — in whole or in part — at any time and without notice or liability. We do not guarantee that it will be available, uninterrupted, timely, or free of errors, and we may modify its features at any time.

Intellectual property in the site

The site's design, layout, text, graphics and source code are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you no rights in them beyond the limited licence to use the site described above.

None of this restricts the images you create with the tool in any way. Those are entirely yours.

Not affiliated with Instagram

freeinstagramgridmaker.com is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

“Instagram” and “Meta” are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc. They are used on this site only descriptively, to identify the platform the tool is designed to help with, as permitted by nominative fair use. All other trademarks mentioned belong to their respective owners.

Feedback

If you send us suggestions, bug reports or ideas, you grant us an unrestricted, royalty-free right to use them to improve the site, with no obligation to compensate or credit you. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will meet your requirements, that its output will be of a particular quality, that it will operate without interruption, or that any defect will be corrected. You use it at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the site — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or any other theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the site will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us to use it (which is zero) or US$50.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

Termination

We may restrict or terminate your access to the site at any time, for any reason, without notice. Since there is no account, you may stop using the site at any time simply by closing it. The sections on your content, our intellectual property, warranties, liability, indemnification and governing law survive any termination.

Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the site are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict-of-law rule that would apply the law of another jurisdiction.

You and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware for any such dispute, and each party waives any objection to venue there on grounds of inconvenient forum. Either party may nonetheless seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these terms.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts. Nothing here limits any non-waivable statutory right you have under the law of your home jurisdiction.

General provisions

• Entire agreement. These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site, superseding any prior understanding.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them freely, for example in connection with a transfer of the site.
• No third-party beneficiaries. These terms create no rights for anyone other than you and us.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept it. If you do not accept a revision, stop using the site.
