Split Panorama into 3 Equal Parts – Photoshop Script

This Photoshop script is designed to automatically split any panorama image into 3 equal vertical segments and save each part separately as a JPG file. It's perfect for photographers, designers, or social media creators who want to break down wide images into separate panels for Instagram carousels posts.

⚠️ Important Note (Image Requirements)

Before running the script, please make sure your panorama image is properly cropped or resized to a 12x5 aspect ratio (for example, 1200px wide by 500px tall) in Photoshop.
This ensures the image can be split evenly into 3 vertical segments with no overlap or gaps.

This script does not automatically crop or adjust the image dimensions — it assumes the image is already formatted correctly.
A typical example would be a DJI drone 180° panorama resized to fit the 12x5 ratio.

Running the script on images with incorrect aspect ratios may result in uneven splits or unwanted artifacts in the saved segments.

🛠️ How it works

• The script takes the currently open image in Photoshop and calculates its width.
• It splits the image into three equal vertical sections.
• Each segment is saved automatically as a high-quality JPG file.
  

📂 Where Are the Files Saved?

By default, the three images will be saved to a folder called "PanoramaSplit" on your Desktop.

📁 How to Use the Script

1. Open your panorama image in Adobe Photoshop.
2. Go to:
   • File > Scripts > Browse
3. Select the .jsx script file and run it.
4. The script will do the rest automatically.
   

📝 How to Change the Output Folder

If you want to save the segments in a different location, simply open the script in a text editor and look for the following line:

javascript

var saveFolder = Folder("~/Desktop/PanoramaSplit");

To change the folder, replace the path. For example, to save to a custom folder on drive D:

javascript

var saveFolder = Folder("D:/MyCustomFolder/Splits");

Make sure the folder path exists or Photoshop will throw an error.

💡 Bonus Tip

For quicker access, you can place this script in Photoshop’s Scripts directory:

(or macOS equivalent)

Then restart Photoshop. The script will now appear under:
