Before & After Photo Maker for Instagram Stories & Reels
Free. No signup. No watermark.
Stories and Reels are full-screen, vertical, and only visible for a limited time (or scrolled past quickly) — which makes a clear, high-contrast before-and-after even more important than in the main feed. This page opens the tool pre-set to the correct 9:16 vertical canvas.
Your photos stay on your device — everything here runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Upload both photos to enable export.

Before & After Photo Tips
Tip 1
Use Top & Bottom or Vertical Split layouts — both make full use of the tall 9:16 frame without leaving empty space above or below.
Tip 2
Keep labels and branding roughly in the middle third of the frame vertically, clear of where Instagram's UI elements typically sit.
Tip 3
For Reels specifically, consider using the Video Maker instead of a static image — a Slider Reveal or Split Reveal transition holds attention far longer than a static post in a video-first format.
Tip 4
If you're adding a headline, keep it short — long text can wrap awkwardly on a narrow 1080px-wide canvas.
FAQ
What size is this format?+
Instagram Stories and Reels display at 9:16 (1080×1920). Keep key content — especially labels and branding — away from the very top and bottom, where Instagram's own UI (profile bar, reply field) can overlap your image.
Can I make a video for Reels, not just a static Story image?+
Yes — after uploading your photos, use "Create Video" to generate a short transformation video with a Slider Reveal, Fade, Swipe, Zoom or Split Reveal transition, sized for Reels.
Will my Story image get cropped by Instagram's UI?+
Instagram overlays your profile name near the top and reply/reaction elements near the bottom. Keeping your main content and labels centred vertically avoids this.
