# Split Image

## Summary

The Split Image Node takes a single image and splits it into a grid of smaller cropped sections. A visual preview shows exactly where the cuts will be made, so you can see how your image will be divided before running. This is useful when you need to isolate specific parts of an image for individual processing, create tiled compositions, or break down a large design into manageable pieces for downstream nodes.

## How to Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Node">
    Click the Add (+) button and select Split Image from the Image node category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide an Image">
    Connect an image from another node (such as Import or Generate Image), or upload one directly. A preview with dashed grid lines will appear on the image.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the Grid Size">
    Choose how to divide the image from the Grid Size dropdown (e.g., 2x2, 3x3, 4x4). The preview updates in real time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run">
    The node outputs each cropped section as a separate image that can be passed to downstream nodes individually.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choosing the Right Settings

| Setting   | Type                                         | Impact on Output                                                                                         |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Grid Size | Dropdown (2x2, 3x2, 3x3, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4, 5x5) | Defines how many sections the image is split into. A 2x2 grid produces 4 images; a 5x5 grid produces 25. |

## Sample Use Cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Splitting Storyboards into Individual Frames" defaultOpen>
    Break a storyboard sheet into separate frames so each scene can be processed independently—feed individual frames into Generate Image or Video nodes to bring each panel to life.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Extracting Panels from Comic or Manga Pages" defaultOpen>
    Split a full comic page into individual panels for translation, editing, or re-sequencing across different layout formats.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Breaking Down Mood Boards" defaultOpen>
    Divide a collage-style mood board into its individual reference images, then pass each one separately into an Edit Image or Generate Image node for inspiration-driven generation.
