Shared background, logo, illustration, or pattern that can pass through tile seams and survive profile preview calibration.

Product model, export logic, and current MVP boundaries.
Instiles is not positioned as a generic grid splitter. It is an Instagram tile design tool for connected posts, with a stronger opinion about preview behavior and export order than most lightweight tools.
Core concepts
The product separates cross-tile composition from per-tile content.
Local content for a single post: text, buttons, icons, and content that must remain independently readable inside one square.
The product does not trust literal 3240 to 9x1080 slicing alone. It models mobile profile crop and seam risk before export.
Export modes
Two output models, depending on whether you optimize for literal tiles or the mobile profile surface.
ModeClassic square
Literal split into nine 1080x1080 posts with no profile compensation.
ModeModern profile
Top-anchored preview and compensated Global Layer export tuned for how Instagram thumbnails behave on mobile.
Current limitations
The MVP is honest about where seam compensation stops.
Seam-aware export improves the result, but it does not promise pixel-perfect continuity on every device and every Instagram client.
Small icons, thin contours, and geometry that depends on perfect circles stay seam-risky and should remain inside a safe tile zone.
Advanced product layers like accounts, billing, and scheduling are not part of the current editor-first surface.
