How do I make a before and after photo online?

Upload your before and after images, choose a layout like side-by-side or slider, adjust labels or watermark settings, and export when your comparison looks right.

What image formats are supported?

You can upload common image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. For the cleanest result, use images with similar dimensions and good resolution.

Which before and after layout should I choose?

Side-by-side works well for quick comparisons, slider is great for interactive reveal effects, split view keeps both versions in one frame, and vertical stack is useful for mobile-friendly posts.

Will my PNG download include a watermark?

You can preview your comparison with the watermark turned on or off while editing. Free PNG exports include a subtle watermark by default, while upgraded plans can export without it.

Can I also create GIFs and videos?

Yes. Once your images are ready, you can continue into the GIF Maker or Video Maker to create animated before and after content with the same comparison setup.
