Why do I have to upload the tiles in reverse order?

Instagram always displays your newest post in the top-left slot of your profile. To make the complete image assemble correctly, you must post the bottom-right tile first (Tile #1) and finish with the top-left tile.

What is the best resolution for a 3x3 Instagram grid?

Because Instagram displays square posts at 1080x1080 pixels, the ideal source photo for a 3x3 grid is 3240x3240 pixels or higher.

Does this tool upload to Instagram directly?

No. Doczing creates the individual image files for you to post manually or schedule via your favorite social media management tool.

Can I choose different grid shapes like 3x1 or 3x2?

Yes! Doczing supports 3x1 (single row banner), 3x2 (two rows), 3x3 (full square), and 3x4 (four rows).
