Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a before and after video?

Simply upload your before photo and after photo using the upload boxes above. Once both images are loaded, you can customize the video settings (duration, direction, etc.) and click "Generate Video" to create your comparison video.

What video format is exported?

Videos are exported in MP4 format when supported by your browser. If MP4 is not available, the tool automatically falls back to WebM format. Both formats are widely compatible with social media platforms and video players.

Is this tool completely free?

Yes! This before and after video creator is 100% free to use. There are no hidden fees, watermarks, or usage limits. Create as many videos as you need.

What image formats are supported?

All common image formats are supported including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and more. Simply upload any photo from your device.

Can I customize the transition direction?

Absolutely! Choose from four transition directions: left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top. Select the one that best showcases your before and after comparison.

Do I need to install any software?

No installation required! This is a web-based tool that runs entirely in your browser. Just open the page and start creating videos immediately.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No, your photos never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy and security of your images.

What's the maximum video duration?

You can create videos ranging from 1 to 10 seconds in length. This duration is ideal for social media posts and keeps viewers engaged with your transformation.

Can I adjust the video quality?

Yes! Choose from 24, 30, or 60 FPS (frames per second) to control video smoothness and quality. Higher FPS creates smoother transitions but results in larger file sizes.

What browsers are supported?

Can I preview the video before generating?

Yes! Click the "Preview Animation" button to see exactly how your before and after video will look before generating the full video file.

How do I share my video on social media?

After generating your video, it will automatically download to your device. You can then upload this video to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, or any other social media platform.
