Question 1

How do I make a before and after photo?

Accepted Answer

Upload the before photo and the after photo, choose side-by-side or stacked, and edit the labels if the defaults do not fit (try "Day 1 / Day 90", "Old logo / New logo", "Before edit / After edit"). The maker aligns both images to a shared height or width, adds a clean divider and label chips, and exports one combined image you can post anywhere.

Question 2

My two photos are different sizes. Will that work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The maker scales both images to match along the shared edge, so a phone photo and a camera photo, or a screenshot and a scan, still produce a tidy comparison. Images are fitted by scaling, never stretched, so nobody's face gets widened by the tool. For the most convincing comparisons, the same framing in both shots helps more than any setting here.

Question 3

What are before and after images used for?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere a change is the story: fitness and skincare progress, home renovation and cleaning results, restoration work, hair and makeup portfolios, design redesigns, photo editing showcases, product wear over time. The format persuades because the viewer's eye does the arguing: two honest frames and a label each is the whole pitch, which is why this maker keeps the design minimal and lets the photos speak.

Question 4

Can I change the labels and layout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both label texts are editable, the labels can be hidden entirely, and you can switch between side-by-side (best for portraits and most social posts) and stacked (best for wide landscapes, screenshots and website redesigns). The divider line keeps the split unambiguous in both layouts.

Question 5

Is there a watermark? Are my photos uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No watermark, and no upload: the comparison is composed on a canvas in your browser and the photos never leave your device. That matters for the most common uses of this format, client work, medical-adjacent progress photos, and unreleased product shots, which should not be sitting on a random tool's server.
