HOW TO USE

How to use

  1. 01

    Choose Before and After images, then select side-by-side or top-and-bottom comparison.

  2. 02

    Swap the images if needed and choose Fill or Fit Entire Image for each frame.

  3. 03

    Drag and zoom each image independently to align the important subject areas.

  4. 04

    Adjust the labels, center divider, background, gap, and outer padding for the comparison.

  5. 05

    Check the result ratio, pixel dimensions, and output format, then download the image.

USE CASES & NOTES

Use cases and important notes

Practical uses and limits to keep in mind when publishing before-and-after comparisons.
Use cases

Renovation, cleaning, editing, and progress

Use it for renovations, cleaning, car detailing, photo edits, product improvements, fitness progress, landscaping, repairs, and similar two-state comparisons.

Capture conditions

Keep angle, distance, and light similar

Large differences in angle, distance, or lighting can exaggerate or hide change. The tool does not objectively measure the amount of change.

Output note

Check small sources and transparency

Small source images can look soft when enlarged. PNG and WebP can keep transparency, while JPG composites transparent areas onto the chosen background.

BEFORE & AFTER GUIDE

Practical standards for clean before-and-after comparisons

Keep both photos undistorted and use one shared coordinate model for framing, labels, divider, and final output.
Side by side

Compare the same scene horizontally

Before sits on the left and After on the right with equal comparison height.

Works well for interiors, cleaning, retouching, and other naturally horizontal comparisons.
Top & bottom

Vertical and mobile content

Before sits above After so each image can remain larger on narrow screens.

Useful for portrait photos and mobile-first content.
Fill vs fit entire image

Choose crop or empty space

Fill covers the full frame but may crop; Fit Entire Image preserves the whole source and can reveal background.

If the subject is cropped, switch fit mode or reposition the image.

ALIGNMENT PRACTICE

How to align photos with different sizes and framing

Subject alignment

Find the main subject first—face, building, product—and move it to a similar position in each frame.

Zoom alignment

Zoom either image independently. Link zoom only when the source framing is already similar.

Divider alignment

The default split is an exact 50:50 center, and the divider stays centered between the two comparison areas even with a gap.

Label safe area

Keep short Before/After labels in corners that do not cover the subject.

Output size

Large final output can enlarge a small source image, so compare source resolution with the target dimensions.

Transparency

PNG and WebP can preserve transparency; JPG composites transparent areas onto the chosen background.

CHECK BEFORE USE

Checks before using a comparison image

01

Capture conditions

Different angle, distance, or lighting can make changes appear larger or smaller than they are.

02

Original files

The tool does not modify source files; it creates a new comparison image inside the browser.

03

Aspect ratio

Images are never stretched. Fill can crop; Fit Entire Image can leave empty background.

04

Small sources

Low-resolution sources may look soft when exported at a large size.

05

Objectivity

Skin, body, and similar comparisons depend on capture conditions and the tool does not certify objective change.

06

Privacy

Image pixels and filenames stay out of external analysis in the local-processing workflow.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Can the two photos have different sizes?+

Yes. Each image is fitted to its comparison area and can be positioned and zoomed independently.

02Can I compare vertically as well as side by side?+

Yes. Both side-by-side and top-and-bottom layouts are supported.

03Can I avoid cropping?+

Yes. Use Fit Entire Image to keep the full image visible inside its comparison area.

04Can I swap Before and After?+

Yes. The images and their framing settings move together.

05Can I edit the Before and After labels?+

Yes. Edit each short label or hide labels entirely.

Source files are not modified. Fill mode can crop parts of an image, and enlarging a small source can reduce apparent sharpness.
