Before and after photos that sell the work
Before and after posts work because the change is obvious in a second. Shoot both photos from the same spot and height, keep the same lens, and let the difference be the room itself: decluttered, brightened, staged or relit at dusk. For listings, label any virtual staging so buyers aren't surprised at the viewing. If you need the after photo, PropertyPixel can virtually stage an empty room or fix the lighting in about a minute.
Questions
- How do I put two photos side by side?
- Add your before photo and your after photo, keep the layout on 'Side by side' and click Download. Each photo is cropped from the centre to fill its half, so nothing is stretched.
- Which size should I use for Instagram?
- Use 1080 x 1350 portrait for feed posts, since it takes up the most screen space, or 1080 x 1080 square if you want the grid to stay even. Stacked layouts suit portrait best; side by side suits landscape and square.
- Do I need to say a photo was virtually staged?
- Many MLSs and portals require you to disclose virtual staging and other material edits. Turn on the disclosure note and it is printed on the after photo, so the image stays honest wherever it is shared.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. The images are combined in your browser using its built-in canvas. Nothing is sent to PropertyPixel or stored after you close the tab.
- What is the split frame layout?
- Split frame shows the left half of the before photo next to the right half of the after photo in a single frame. It works when both photos were taken from the same spot, for example an original and its edited version.
