Before & After Photo Comparison

Put two progress photos side by side or one above the other, add dates and labels, and download the result. Each image is scaled to fit 600 by 800 pixels and the pair is trimmed to match, so nothing is stretched. The download is one PNG at that size, ready to post or keep beside the next one.

How the comparison is made

Both photographs are drawn into a canvas element inside this page, and that is the whole mechanism. Each one is scaled to fit inside 600 by 800 pixels, keeping its aspect ratio by taking the smaller of the two ratios, so nothing is stretched. Side by side, both are then trimmed to the shorter of the two heights so the pair lines up; stacked, both are trimmed to the narrower width. Around them the layout adds 20 pixels of padding, a 60-pixel band for the labels and a 4-pixel divider between the two images.

The result is a new image built from yours. Nothing is enhanced, colour-corrected, aligned or retouched, and no measurement is taken of either photograph — if the light or the angle changed between the two, that difference is in the picture and the tool cannot tell it apart from the change you are documenting.

Your files are read by this page and drawn into the canvas by your own browser, and the download button saves what the canvas holds to your own device.

Why progress is invisible day to day

Progress is often invisible day-to-day. You don't notice the weight you've lost, the muscle you've gained, the clarity in your skin, or the light in your eyes because the changes happen gradually. That's why before and after photos are so powerful.

A side-by-side comparison cuts through the noise of daily perception and shows you the truth: you've changed. Whether it's a fitness transformation, a sobriety journey, a home renovation, or a creative project, seeing then vs. now is deeply motivating.
