I have this code

public void makeBoxes(int size) // number of pictureboxes
        {
            for (int x = 0; x < size; x++)
            {
                PictureBox pic = new PictureBox();
                picList.Add(pic);
                
            }
            pix = picList.ToArray();
            
        }
 public void insertPix()
        {
            for (int x = 0; x < pix.Length; x++)
            {
                pix[x].BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
                panel1.Controls.Add(pix[x]);
               
            }
        }

I don't know what the default value is for length and width of pictureboxes. Anyway I can't insert those pictureboxes on the panel1.

EDIT: ah nevermind I just forgot to execute the method... I figured out how to change the size in the loop and algorithm to make it arrange the boxes

Sure you do: Drag a picturebox from the tools pallet to a form. That's the default size.

Some of this is ... odd. I don't understand why you are adding the picturebox to a global variable of some type (picList), which in turn you are then assigning to another global of pix.

You might want to get used to having less global variables and do more with returned objects.

        public Example()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Example_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            InsertBoxes(MakeBoxes(7));
        }

        private PictureBox[] MakeBoxes(int count)
        {
            var results = new PictureBox[count];
            for(int Index = 0; Index< count; Index++)
            {
                results[Index] = new PictureBox()
                                     {
                                         BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle
                                     };
            }
            return results;
        }

        private bool InsertBoxes(PictureBox[] ThePictureBoxes)
        {
            bool successful = false;
            try
            {
                flpBrowser.Controls.AddRange(ThePictureBoxes); //flpBrowser is a FlowLayoutPanel
                successful = true;
            }
            catch (Exception err)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(err.Message);
            }
            return successful;
        }
