GIMP Commands for Slicing Images

Why do you want to slice images? Well, for most web designers, slicing images into smaller image files tend to make the images load faster when using a browser. GIMP allows you to easily slice images and create the corresponding HTML fragment file which you can copy and paste to your web page. Here is how:

1. Go to the menu "Image"->"Guides"->"New Guide"
2. Then select the preferred guide. Usually you either choose horizontal or vertical. Choosing horizontal will give you a horizontal guide rule which you can transfer to the part of the image you want sliced.
3. To slice, click on the menu "Filter"->"Web"->"Slice"
