How to cut a picture into (equal) pieces?

[haimat]

Hi all!

I have an image that I want to automatically cut into smaller pieces, probably all with the same width and height. For example, when I have an image of 1000x1000 pixels, I need/want to "slice" it into many 50x50 pieces (as if I would cut along an imaginary grid). Since this process could end up with many such small pieces, a manual approach would take me some time (at least I think so).

Thus, is there an easy/automatic way of how to accomplish this task?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards, Matthias

Just for the records: I have (partly) solved my problem via ImageMagick:

convert input.png -crop 32x32@ output_%d.png

However, if possible, I would also like to know how to achieve this in paint.net

Cheers!

So you need every piece on its own layer or file individually, total 400 as for your example?

I believe this plugin would help in some how.
