Compare two photos, instantly. Image Compare is an iOS app that puts two images side by side, under a slider, as an overlay, or as a pixel difference, so you can see exactly what changed. From photo edits and DIY projects to plant growth records and screenshot checks, spot the difference in seconds. # Four Comparison Modes ▼ Side by Side View both images at once. Perfect for before/after and progress photos. ▼ Slider Drag a slider across one image to reveal the other underneath. Smoothly check before/after photo edits. ▼ Opacity Overlay two images and adjust transparency. Great for spotting alignment shifts and subtle changes. ▼ Difference Subtract one image from the other to highlight only what's changed. Reveals details invisible to the naked eye. * You can save the difference image to your Photos. # Position Adjustment — Line Up Your Images When two photos were not taken from exactly the same spot, use Position Adjustment mode to align them before comparing. ・Drag to move one image over the other. ・Pinch to scale it. ・NEW: Rotate with two fingers to fix a tilted shot. Once aligned, the slider, opacity, and difference views show real changes instead of camera offset. # Features ・Pinch to zoom in Slider, Opacity, and Difference modes for detailed inspection. ・Two processing options for Difference mode: - Express: Resizes to screen width before processing (fast). - Original: Processes at full resolution (high accuracy, takes longer. Both images must be the same size). ・Export the difference image to Photos or share it directly. # Common Uses ・How to compare two photos on iPhone: pick two images from your library and switch between modes. ・Check a before/after photo edit or retouch. ・Find the difference between two screenshots or design mockups. ・Track progress: DIY, renovation, fitness, plants, cleaning, and more. ・Verify that two images are identical or detect subtle changes. # Privacy First ・Works completely offline. Your images never leave your device. ・Photo library access is only used when selecting images to compare.

Before/After turns two photos into a before-and-after slider video or a side-by-side collage in every social format, and keeps each client's progress in one place. FOR CLINICS AND SALONS Aesthetic and cosmetology clinics, med spas, dental practices, lash, brow, nail and hair artists: photograph every client with the same framing at each visit, add your logo and post the result the same day. Hide the eyes with one tap when a client prefers privacy. FOR CONTRACTORS AND CLEANERS Renovation, painting, landscaping and cleaning crews: shoot the after photo over a ghost of the before, and Before/After lines up the room, including rotation and perspective. FOR FITNESS AND PERSONAL PROGRESS Coaches and anyone tracking their body: the progress camera and full-body alignment make week 12 match week 1. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose two photos, or take the next one with the progress camera. 2. Before/After lines them up automatically. 3. Pick a style and a format, and save. FEATURES • Slider and crossfade videos, side-by-side and top-and-bottom collages • Every format: square, 4:5 posts, 9:16 Reels and Stories • Auto-align for faces, full bodies and rooms, with rotation and perspective • Progress camera: before photo as a ghost overlay, match meter, grid, level, exposure lock • Manual framing: two-finger rotate, zoom out, flip, straighten, vertical and horizontal perspective • Clients and visits: take the next photo, reminders, compare any two visits, search • Projects saved automatically • Your logo on every video and collage • Hide or pixelate eyes for privacy • Filters, animation curve and slide direction • "Also save as": the same result in another format in one tap • Siri and Shortcuts: "Take a progress photo" Photos taken with the progress camera stay inside the app and are not added to your Photos library. SUBSCRIPTION Before/After is free to try. Saving videos and collages requires Before/After Premium, an auto-renewing weekly, monthly or annual subscription.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Before/After holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Before/After has 210 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Image Compare.'s written reviews are positive against 63% of Before/After's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Image Compare. ships an update every 2 weeks, Before/After every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
