Before and After Photo Maker

How it works

How to make a before and after photo

1. Add the before photo. Tap the first box and pick the photo from your phone or computer, or drop it in.
2. Add the after photo. Use a shot taken from the same spot so the two halves line up.
3. Pick a layout and size. Side by side suits wide shots like a roof or a yard. Top and bottom suits tall shots like a wall, a door or a shower.
4. Line up the shots. Drag each photo in the preview to choose which part shows.
5. Label it. Keep BEFORE and AFTER or write your own, and add a caption bar with your company name or the job.
6. Download. You get one JPG, ready to text, email or post.

Which size to pick

• Square (1:1): 1080 x 1080 pixels. Works almost anywhere, including Facebook and Instagram posts.
• Portrait (4:5): 1080 x 1350 pixels. A taller shape that fills more of the screen in Instagram and Facebook feeds.
• Landscape (16:9): 1920 x 1080 pixels. For your website, emails, presentations and reports.

Tips for before and after photos that sell the job

• Take the before photo first. Before you move a tool, a tarp or a piece of furniture.
• Stand in the same spot. Same angle, same height and same zoom, so the only thing that changes is the work.
• Match the light. Shoot at a similar time of day, or turn on the same lights indoors.
• Keep it level. A straight horizon or door frame makes the two halves easier to compare.
• Clear the clutter. Move bins, hoses and ladders out of the after shot.
• Shoot wide, then close. One pair shows the whole area, another shows the detail you fixed.
• Ask before you post. Get the client's OK before sharing photos of their home, and leave out house numbers, faces and plates.
• Keep both photos unedited. A brightened or filtered after photo can mislead the people you want to win over.
