Free tool
X Image Splitter
One photo. Twenty swipes. X just went from 4 images per post to 20. Slice your shot into a panorama people swipe through frame by frame, right to the reveal. Free, instant, and your photo never leaves your device.
Step 1
Pick an image
Wide images work best: panoramas, banners, product screenshots, a row of features.
Step 2
Choose how many and what shape
Up to 20 images. The preview shows every cut, and what gets trimmed is dimmed.
Step 3
Add them all at once
Download the zip, open it, and in the X composer select every image with Ctrl+A (⌘A on Mac). They go in already in order.
Questions
How many images can an X post have?
Up to 20 photos and videos, up from 4. X announced the change on 12 November 2026. If your app still stops at 4, update the X app on iPhone or Android.
Can I use photos straight from my iPhone?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF photos open in any browser, including Chrome and Android. They can take a few seconds longer to open than a JPG.
Do I have to add all 20 images one by one?
Not on a phone. Tap Share to X, pick X in the share sheet, and every image is added to a new post in order. On a computer, download the zip and open it. In X, click the photo icon, go to the x-split folder, press Ctrl+A (⌘A on Mac) and click Open. The files are numbered, so they're added in order.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The cutting happens in your browser, so the image never leaves your device.
Why do the strips have small gaps on X?
X puts a little space between photos in a post. The strips line up edge to edge, so the picture still reads as one when swiped.
Which shape should I pick?
No crop keeps the whole image and splits it evenly. Square, Portrait and Landscape crop the image so every strip has that exact shape, which stops X from cropping them for you.
