Turn two photos into a comparison: drag an interactive slider, place them side by side or stack them, then export a PNG, a GIF or MP4, or an embeddable slider for your website. Your photos never leave this device.
Drag the handle (or use arrow keys). The PNG captures the split where you leave it.
Processed on this device — nothing is uploaded
Every layout, label and frame is free. You only pay to take the watermark off, and credits never expire.
One credit is one clean export: an HD PNG, a GIF, an MP4, or a website embed without the credit link.

A before and after photo maker puts two pictures of the same subject into one image so the change is obvious at a glance. That is all this one does, and it tries to do it well: you get three layouts, labels that read clearly at small sizes, frame ratios that match the places you'll post, and exports that look the same as the preview.
It runs entirely in your browser. When you choose a photo, the browser reads the file from your disk and draws it with the Canvas API; the PNG, GIF, MP4 or embed code you download is built on your machine. There is no upload and no account needed, so there is nothing to delete afterwards. The page works on desktop and on phones, where the slider responds to touch.
Drop or pick a before photo and an after photo. JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF all work. Until you do, demo photos fill the frame so you can try every control.
Slider puts both shots in one frame with a draggable divider. Side by side places them left and right. Stacked puts before on top, which reads well on phones.
Choose Original, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16. Both photos fill the frame; use Align & zoom to line them up. Rename the labels — “Week 1 / Week 12”, “Day 0 / Day 30” — or hide them.
Download a PNG in one click, or copy an embed code for your website. Sign in for a looping GIF or an MP4 for Reels, TikTok or Shorts — a wipe, a fade or a circle reveal — and switch on “Remove watermark” for a clean HD export.
Show treatment results — skin, brows, lashes, whitening, hair restoration — without sending patient photos to a third-party editor. Files stay on the clinic computer, and you can label shots with session numbers or dates instead of “before” and “after”.
A kitchen remodel, a pressure-washed driveway or a cleared garden sells itself when the two shots share one frame. Put the interactive slider on your website gallery with the embed code, and use the MP4 wipe for social posts and quotes sent over WhatsApp.
Progress pictures are personal. Clients can build their own comparison on their phone without uploading anything, and coaches can post stacked 4:5 or 9:16 transformations that fit Instagram and TikTok without extra cropping.
Deliver edits with the original right beside the result so clients see exactly what changed. Side by side works for proof sheets and portfolios; the slider GIF is a quick way to show a color grade or skin retouch in a pitch deck.
Knowing the limits up front saves you a wasted export.
You can make a before and after in a general editor: open a template, drop in two photos, line them up, add text boxes, export. It works, and if you already design everything there, keep doing that. This tool exists for the case where the comparison is the whole job.

Comparison photos are often of people's faces, bodies and homes. So this tool has no upload endpoint at all: images are decoded, composed and encoded by your browser, and the result is saved straight to your downloads. Load the page, go offline, and PNG export still works. Read the privacy policy for the details.
Yes. You can upload two photos, pick any layout, edit the labels and download a PNG up to 1200 px wide or create an embeddable slider for your website without an account, as often as you like. A free Google sign-in adds animated GIF and MP4 exports and 3 watermark-free exports. Free images and videos carry a small watermark in the bottom-right corner, and the free embed has a small credit link under it; 40 more watermark-free exports cost $9.90 once.
No. The images are read and drawn by your own browser using the Canvas API. There is no upload step and no server that receives your files, which is why it works for client and patient photos. Closing the tab clears them from memory.
Yes. Pick Embed under Export and the tool writes one block of HTML with both photos inside it (re-encoded to at most 1600 px, or 1000 px with Small), plus a little scoped CSS and JavaScript. There is nothing to host: paste it into a Custom HTML or code block in WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify or Wix, or download it as an .html file. Visitors can drag it with a mouse or finger, or use the arrow keys, and it keeps your labels, direction, start position, alignment and logo. The free embed shows a small “Made with Before and After Photo Maker” link under the slider; removing it uses one credit. Large photos make large code, and some site builders limit how much HTML a block accepts, so the editor shows the size before you copy it.
Both photos are cropped to fill the same frame. The frame defaults to the shape of your before photo; you can switch to 1:1, 4:5, 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16. If the two shots were taken from slightly different spots, open Align & zoom: zoom each photo up to 3× and drag it into place, with an overlay that shows the after photo at 50% over the before so you can line up edges. Exports use exactly the framing you see.
Yes. In the Logo panel, upload a PNG, SVG, JPG or WebP, then pick a corner and a size. The logo appears in the preview and on every export, including GIF, MP4 and the embed. It is saved in your browser's local storage so it is there on your next visit, and it never leaves your device. On free exports the small watermark stays in the bottom-right, and a logo placed in that corner moves up above it.
Use 4:5 or 1:1 for an Instagram feed post, 9:16 for Stories, Reels and TikTok, and 16:9 or Original for websites and YouTube. Side-by-side doubles the width and stacked doubles the height, so a stacked 4:5 pair becomes a tall image that suits phone screens.
No. It does not use AI and does not change the content of your photos. It only crops, places and labels the two images you provide. That matters for clinics, coaches and contractors whose results need to be shown as they were photographed.
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and most browsers other than Safari can't decode HEIC. Export the photo as JPG from the Photos app, or set Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, then upload again.
40 watermark-free exports for one payment, not a subscription. Each HD PNG (up to 4096 px), GIF or MP4 without the watermark, or embed without the credit link, uses one credit, and credits never expire. If an export fails, its credit comes back automatically. Checkout will run through PayPal. You can get a full refund within 14 days if you've used 5 or fewer of the pack's credits.
