Before and after layouts for Instagram, TikTok and Stories
MatchFrame exports your aligned shots as a finished before/after: side by side, slideshow, GIF or grid, in Reels 9:16, Post 4:5, Square 1:1 or Wide 16:9. Add Before and After labels, dates or your own caption, then save to your gallery or share to Instagram, TikTok and other apps.

What's included
- Text overlay
- Show the dates, the number of days between shots (“Day 90”), or custom text such as “Week 12”, at the top or bottom.
- Video clips too
- Merge clips into one video, build a split-screen grid, or save a cover frame from a clip as a photo.
- Match to template
- With Pro, every item in a grid or clip is aligned to the reference so the layout is pixel-consistent.
- Quality
- Free exports go up to HD (720p). Pro exports in Full HD, 2K or 4K, capped at the quality of your source.
- Free and Pro layouts
- Single, side by side and grid are free in every format. Slider, slideshow and GIF exports are part of Pro.
- Watermark
- Free exports carry a small “Made with MatchFrame” mark. Pro removes it.
Good for
- Fitness progress photosTake gym and weight-loss progress pictures from the same spot, height and pose every time. Last week's photo as a ghost overlay replaces tape on the floor.
- Room makeover before and afterShoot your renovation, decor or declutter project from the exact same corner. The before photo as a ghost overlay lines up walls, windows and furniture.
- Consistent product photosKeep the same angle, distance and position across a catalog, a listing refresh or a before/after, using a reference shot as a ghost overlay on your phone.
Questions
What size should a before and after be for Instagram?
Use 4:5 (1080×1350) for feed posts and 9:16 (1080×1920) for Reels and Stories. MatchFrame has both as presets.
Can I make a before and after GIF?
Yes, with Pro. Select two or more shots and choose the GIF layout; it loops through them in order.
How many exports do I get for free?
Three exports per project, plus up to two more by watching a short ad. Pro has unlimited exports.
Other features
- Ghost overlay cameraMatchFrame shows your last photo or clip as a ghost on the live camera, so each shot matches its angle, distance and pose. Free on iPhone and Android.
- Before/after compareCompare any two shots in a MatchFrame project with a slider or side by side. They were aligned with the ghost overlay, so the difference you see is real.
- Video transitionsFilm each clip with the last one as a ghost overlay, so outfit changes, room reveals and match cuts land on the same frame. Then merge them in MatchFrame.
