How to make a then and now photo
Make a then and now picture in three steps.
The best comparisons make the subject easy to recognise in both frames. Matching the pose helps, but the story matters more than perfect alignment.
- Choose your “then” photo
Pick an older childhood, family, pet, home, team, project, or progress picture.
- Add the “now” photo
Choose the recent match, then use the separate Then and Now crop controls to align faces or important details.
- Label, style, and download
Add the two years and a short caption, choose a layout, then export a social post, story, or printable image.
Ideas and occasions
More than a before-and-after generator.
A two-photo comparison can show growth, continuity, progress, or the joy of recreating an old moment.
Anniversaries and couples
Place an early relationship or wedding photo beside a recent portrait.
Pets, homes, and places
Show a puppy grown up, a renovation completed, or the same place years later.
Progress and transformations
Compare fitness, art, restoration, garden, team, or business progress without losing the story behind it.
Make a sharper download
A little guidance before you export.
Use the largest original available. For social posts, 1200px or more on the short side gives room to crop cleanly.
Choose A4 for posters. PNG keeps text crisp; JPG is smaller and convenient for messaging.
Portrait works for feeds, Story / Status for vertical sharing, Square for profiles, and Landscape for screens.
Useful by design
The passage of time is the whole story
A simple side-by-side comparison can capture growth, endurance, change, and affection without needing much explanation.
Independent photo crops
Zoom and position the Then and Now pictures separately so faces and details line up cleanly.
Many emotional uses
Compare childhood, anniversaries, pets, homes, friendships, fitness, teams, and businesses.
Social and print formats
Create a square comparison, portrait post, story, landscape card, or poster.
