Obviously don’t add them in your actual images. I’m pointing them out though because naming each grid image is REALLY important. See the numbers in each corner of each square of the grid? Those are shown for your reference.Next you’ll select and copy each square of the grid into a new, separate 1900x1900 image.See the screenshot above on what the guides should look like. Set both horizontal and vertical guides at 1900 pixels and 3800 pixels. Multiply that by 3, as the grid is 3x3, and you get 5700x5700.) I like to use 5700 though because the best resolution you can get on Instagram is 1900x1900. (It can be smaller than this, just as long as it’s a square. Set up a new image with dimensions of 5700 pixels x 5700 pixels.I’ve picked a random product shot for demonstration purposes.

Once you have your image picked out, head on over to Photoshop. You’ll need a big image, a still from your videos won’t work, it will be too small, even when stretched. There are three parts to the process, and I’ll break them down one at a time.

The actual content of each video in the grid was an interesting clip or moment from the episode, with a call-to-action at the end that directed people to watch the full length piece on Youtube. I’ve done this a number of times and it’s always turned out great. Most notably, I've used a 3x3 video grid to promote a new episode of our web series, MUTANT ON A MISSION. I’ll walk you through it in this step-by-step, easy to follow guide. It’s very rare, and for good reason: it’s complicated to pull off. This is it! This is what you’ve been waiting for! The holy grail of Instagram grids! The ultimate marketing tool for campaign or product launches! I present to you the 3x3 VIDEO GRID.
