What you can make

A before and after picture shows a change in one glance. Agents use them for staged rooms and twilight photos. Contractors use them for repainted rooms, cleared yards and finished remodels.

This tool puts your two photos into one picture. Choose from four layouts: side by side, top and bottom, a split down the middle, or a diagonal split. The picture is made on your device and you download it as a PNG or a JPG.

How to make the picture

1. Add the before photo and the after photo. Each can be a JPG, PNG or WebP.

2. Pick a layout and a size. The preview updates as you choose.

3. Leave the tags on, or change the words. The defaults are Before and After, and each tag can be up to 16 characters.

4. For a split layout, move the slider to place the split line.

5. Select Download. The file is drawn at the full size you chose, not at the preview size.

Choosing a layout

Side by side is the easiest to read, and it suits wide pictures. Top and bottom suits tall posts and stories.

The two split layouts show one scene in two states, with a line between them. They work best when both photos were taken from the same spot at the same angle. If the photos do not line up, the split line cuts through things that do not match.

If your photos have different shapes, choose Show the whole photo, so neither one is cropped. The empty space is filled with white.

Sizes

The size list holds common choices: square post (1080 × 1080), portrait post (1080 × 1350), landscape, 16:9 (1920 × 1080), link preview (1200 × 630), story or reel (1080 × 1920). Platforms change their own rules from time to time, so check the size of the place you post to.

JPG makes a smaller file and suits photos. PNG keeps the edges of the tags and the split line a little sharper, and the file is larger.

Be clear about edited photos

If the after photo is virtually staged or edited in another way, a before and after picture is an honest way to show it, and the tags make that plain.

Many listing rules also ask for a label on an altered photo, and for the original to be available. The virtually staged label maker adds the label and can build a picture of the original beside the edited photo.

If something looks wrong

The edges of a photo are cut off. Fill the space crops evenly from the edges to avoid empty bars. Choose Show the whole photo to keep everything.

A photo is sideways. The tool turns photos the way their rotation tag says. If a photo was saved sideways with no tag, rotate it first.

The preview is smaller than the download. That is on purpose, to keep the page quick. The download uses the full size.

Questions

Do the two photos need to be the same size?

No. With Fill the space, each photo is cropped from the middle to fit its half. With Show the whole photo, each is shown entire and the leftover space is white.

Which layout is best for real estate?

Side by side works for most listings. Use a split only when both photos were taken from the same spot, such as an empty room and the same room staged.

Can I move the split line?

Yes. In the two split layouts a slider moves the line between 20% and 80% of the width.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser draws the picture on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Should I download a PNG or a JPG?

JPG gives a smaller file and is fine for photos. PNG gives larger files and keeps the tags and the split line crisp. If a site limits file size, start with JPG.

Can I change the words Before and After?

Yes. Type any words up to 16 characters, such as Empty and Staged, or turn the tags off.
