Split One Image Across Three Canvases (Without the Math)

WrapStudio splits panoramic images into diptychs and triptychs with pixel-perfect alignment, accounting for panel gaps and canvas edge wraps.

A photographer has a panoramic landscape shot. They want to sell it as a triptych - three canvases hung side by side. They open Photoshop, calculate the split points, account for 1.5-inch canvas depth wrap on each panel, add gaps for the 2-inch spacing between panels, and hope the horizon line aligns across all three.

It doesn't. The math was off by 12 pixels on the middle panel. Back to Photoshop.

The alignment nightmare

Multi-panel art requires precise calculations. You need to account for:

  • The image area lost to canvas edge wraps on each panel (1.5" per edge)
  • The gap between panels when hung on the wall (typically 1-3 inches)
  • Ensuring visual elements (horizon lines, faces, architectural lines) align across panels
  • Each panel being a separate file with its own bleed and trim

Get any of these wrong and the finished product looks off. Customers notice misaligned horizons immediately.

Before
Open Photoshop. Calculate split points. Account for canvas depth wrap. Add gap spacing. Export three files. Print, hang, and discover the horizon is off by half an inch. Start over.
After
Upload the panoramic photo to WrapStudio. Select "Triptych." WrapStudio splits it with pixel-perfect alignment, accounts for canvas edge wraps and panel gaps. Preview all three panels in 3D before exporting. The panels align.

Multi-panel options

WrapStudio supports diptychs (2 panels), triptychs (3 panels), and quadriptychs (4 panels). You control the split ratios, gap spacing, and panel sizes. The 3D preview shows all panels together, exactly as they'd look on a wall.

WrapStudio is free to start. No credit card required.
