Before & After

Before and After Video Maker

Make a short clip from two photos for Reels, TikTok or Shorts. The editor opens in a 9:16 frame; switch to 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9 for feed posts and YouTube. The video is drawn and recorded on your device.

What the video file is

Sized for phones

1920 px on the long edge, so a 9:16 frame comes out at 1080 × 1920 — the size Reels, TikTok and Shorts expect. A 4:5 frame gives 1536 × 1920.

A wipe, fade or circle

The same three animations as the GIF, in full color. Use Wipe for rooms and gardens, Fade for skin, hair or color, Circle when you want a reveal moment.

Recorded in real time

The browser plays the animation once and records it, so a 6-second video takes about 6 seconds. Keep the tab open and in front until the download starts.

How to make a before and after video

  1. 01

    Add the two photos

    Upload or drop the before and after shots. They stay in this browser tab.

  2. 02

    Fit the frame

    9:16 crops the sides of landscape photos. Use Align & zoom to keep the important part of each photo in view.

  3. 03

    Pick motion and speed

    Choose Wipe, Fade or Circle, then Slow, Normal or Fast. Preview motion plays it before you record.

  4. 04

    Download the MP4

    Sign in with Google for free export with a small watermark, or use a credit for a clean video.

Getting a comparison that holds the scroll

  • Rename the labels to something specific — “Week 1” and “Week 12”, “Day 0” and “After 3 sessions” — so the change reads even with the sound off.
  • Leave space for the app's own buttons and captions. Instagram and TikTok cover the bottom and right edges of a 9:16 video, so keep labels at the top and the subject near the middle.
  • Add your logo in a top corner; it appears in every frame, so the clip stays credited when it is reshared.
  • Shoot both photos from the same spot. Small differences in angle are easy to fix with Align & zoom; a different lens or lighting is not.

Questions

How long is the video?

At least 6 seconds. The animation repeats until it reaches that length: Normal plays two 3-second loops, Fast plays four 1.5-second loops, and Slow plays two 5-second loops for a 10-second clip. Most apps let you loop or trim it further.

Does the video have music or sound?

No. The file has no audio track. Add music or a voice-over in Instagram, TikTok, CapCut or whatever app you post from; they all handle that better than a browser can.

Why did I get a WebM file instead of an MP4?

The video is recorded by your browser. Recent Chrome, Edge and Safari can record MP4; browsers that can't, such as Firefox, save WebM. WebM plays in browsers and most apps; if a platform refuses it, open the tool in Chrome or Safari and export again.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free Google sign-in. Videos with a small watermark are then unlimited. A video without the watermark uses one credit; new accounts get 3.
