Image exploder

World's simplest image tool
Free online image exploder. Just drag and drop your image here and it will automatically turn into a collage of many small pieces. You can specify how many rows and columns to split the image into, as well as adjust the distance between them, their size, and the background color. Created by engineers from team Browserling.

What is a image exploder?

learn more about this tool
This tool explodes the input image into numerous small pieces, creating a collage or shattered glass effect. The program generates an M by N grid of image pieces, where M represents the number of rows, and N represents the number of columns. The sizes of the pieces are automatically calculated based on the total number of rows and columns, with more rows and columns resulting in smaller pieces. After slicing the image into small pieces, the program spreads them apart by a fixed or random distance. You can control this distance using the options for minimum and maximum distance. For instance, if you set both the minimum and maximum distances to 10 pixels, all image pieces will be placed 10 pixels apart from each other. On the other hand, if you specify a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 100, the spaces between the pieces can vary between 10 and 100 pixels, and the pieces will randomly move within their range. Additionally, you can use negative values in the distance range, for example, from -10 to 20, which means that the pieces can overlap each other. By default, when the image is divided into pieces, they are all of the same size, and they only move according to a random position. However, if you disable the "Equal Size Pieces" mode, the program will also randomly scale some of the pieces, adding even more chaos to the exploded image. In this case, each piece can have a random size and position within its range. There's also an additional option called "Centered Pieces", which positions all pieces exactly in the center of their movement range. In the image background option, you can specify a color to fill the space between the pieces (or leave it blank to remove the background). If the selected image format is JPEG, the transparent background will be converted to white since this format does not support transparency. Additionally, you have the option to add padding around the edges of the image by specifying a uniform padding value for all sides. Image-abulous!

Explode an Image into 9 Pieces
In this example, we transform a single image of an orange cat into a grid of nine rectangular pieces, all of the same size. To achieve this, we divide the image into three columns and three rows, and then spread the pieces apart by a fixed distance of 20 pixels. We set the background color to transparent, causing all nine image particles to simply float in the air at a fixed distance. (Source: Pexels.)

Split an Image into Vertical Stripes
This example converts a serene image of smooth waves into a picture composed of 12 separate strips spaced 25 pixels apart. It sets the number of rows to 1, ensuring that the image remains unbroken horizontally. It also utilizes the option to equalize the size of the pieces, resulting in a created image with no randomness. (Source: Pexels.)

Equal Pieces in Random Positions
In this example, we explode the image into equal-sized pieces at various positions. We create 3 rows and 4 columns, placing the pieces at random distances ranging from 5 to 25 pixels. Additionally, we add a padding of 10 pixels around the image and fill the background with the color Thistle. (Source: Pexels.)

Random Pieces in Random Positions
In this example, we create a composition of chaotic pieces with different sizes and positions. We divide the image into 6 pieces horizontally (columns) and 7 pieces vertically (rows). The minimum distance between the pieces can be 2 pixels, while the maximum distance can be up to 60 pixels. Additionally, we disable the option to equalize the pieces, allowing the program to zoom randomly for selected pieces. (Source: Pexels.)

Centered Pieces of Random Size
This example transforms a single image of snowy mountains into a puzzle of 64 pieces. It arranges the pieces neatly following a rectangular grid and spreads them apart by a distance of 80 pixels. Then, it randomly scales selected pieces by a random factor, creating a unique composition. (Source: Pexels.)

Pieces That Overlap Each Other
In this example, we allow image pieces to overlap each other. To achieve this, we set a negative minimum distance equal to -30. This means that any piece can overlap on top or below another piece by a distance of up to 30 pixels. The positions of all the pieces are randomly generated each time the button is clicked, resulting in a completely new composition every time. (Source: Pexels.)
