Document your transformation journey with precision. Before After Studio lets you capture, compare, and share before-and-after photos for any project β€” fitness, beauty, home renovation, auto restoration, content creation, and more. CAPTURE WITH PRECISION β€’ Use the built-in camera with a ghost overlay of your original shot to perfectly match angles, framing, and position every time. β€’ Adjust overlay opacity, drag to reposition, and pinch to scale for exact alignment. β€’ Switch between front and back cameras with flash control (off, on, auto). TRACK PROGRESS OVER TIME β€’ Add progress photos between your before and after shots to build a visual timeline. β€’ Scrub through your timeline to see smooth transitions across every stage of your project. β€’ Import up to 50 photos at once from your library β€” dates are read from photo metadata automatically. COMPARE SIDE BY SIDE β€’ Use the interactive slider to reveal your before and after photos in real time. β€’ Switch to blink mode to alternate between shots and spot every difference. EXPORT & SHARE β€’ Export videos with fade, animated slider, or full timeline effects. β€’ Export still images in side-by-side or top-and-bottom layouts. β€’ Choose from portrait (9:16), square (1:1), or landscape (16:9) aspect ratios. β€’ Adjust video speed (short, medium, long) and resolution up to 4K. β€’ Bulk export multiple projects into a single video or individual images. β€’ Share directly or save to your photo library.

Line up your own photos for a before & after that actually lines up. Make a smooth flip-through video that shows the change, not the camera angle. USE IT FOR Fitness progress, hair and beard grow-ins, skin, smiles, bump tracking, kids, pet glow-ups, plants, art, builds, and client before & afters for presentation. HOW IT WORKS Tap once and Lign finds the anchor in every photo. Use eyes, nose tip, mouth, chin, shoulders, hips, or points on a dog or cat. If a photo has more than one face or animal, choose the one you mean. For objects, tap what you want to line up with Object Anchor (Beta). For anything else, place your own points by hand. Choose Smart for the best framing, Clean Edges for a finished crop, or Level to keep photos upright. GET THE NEXT SHOT RIGHT Use the built-in camera to see your last photo as a see-through guide. Lign lets you know when you’re lined up and can take the photo automatically for faces, bodies, and pets. EXPORT AND SHARE Save aligned stills as JPEG or HEIC, or make a video with cuts, cross-fades, or morphs between photos. Export in Original, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, then save straight to Photos for Reels, TikTok, and Stories. Bring in photos from your library, camera, Files, paste, drag and drop, AirDrop, or the share sheet. Lign also works with Shortcuts and Siri on iPhone and iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Your photos are never uploaded, and you don’t need an account. Lign uses no generative AI. It only moves, scales, and rotates your real photos. FREE AND PRO Free includes eye or nose-tip alignment, Smart mode, up to 5 photos per export, square video, and a small Lign mark. Lign Pro unlocks every anchor, Clean Edges and Level, every format, unlimited photos per export, custom timing and loops, HEIC and maximum quality, plus exports without the Lign mark. With Family Sharing turned on, you and up to five family members can use Lign Pro. Whatever you’re comparing, Lign lines it up. β€” Pro is a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage subscriptions in Settings.
