During the COVID-19 outbreak, many of us are undergoing personal transformations, for better or worse. This has been the focus of an increasingly popular set of meme trends recently:

So the classic before & after picture format is more relevant than ever. You can use this before & after picture template to position two photos, videos, or GIFs side by side and add the "before" and "after" labels.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make your own by combining images in the same file, adding text, and formatting. Here's how you can make your own custom before & after pics in just a minute, all for free & online:

1. Open Kapwing
2. Add your pictures and edit the text
3. Process & download

Step 1: Open Kapwing

The Kapwing Studio makes it easy to put together your before & after pictures, but getting a head start with one of our customizable templates makes it even quicker. Just select "Make It" under this image and begin customizing this template.

Step 2: Add your pictures and edit the text

Now it's time to add your pictures. For before & after pictures, your images could be anywhere – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or your Photos app. Wherever they are, it's simple to add them to the before & after template!

If you're using a photo stored online or posted to social media, copy the link while you're looking at the picture.

In the Studio, replace the photo layers and either browse through your photos to upload a picture from your device, or paste the link you copied from the web. If you're starting from scratch instead of using a template, choose "Upload" to import your pictures to the Studio. No disrespect to Adrien Brody, but this is the meme I'm making:

Once both photos are in place, you can edit the "Before & After" text. Simply select one of the text layers and use the text editing options to customize its font, color, style, size, and background. You can also add text animations for a before & after GIF.

You can also add new text using the "Text" tab on the left sidebar.

Step 3: Process & download

When everything is in place and your picture looks the way you want, hit the green "Export Image" button and give Kapwing just a few seconds to process your before & after photo. Once it's done, you can select "Download," and your picture will be saved to your device. If you want to post it on social media, it will be the most recent thing in your downloads folder or camera roll, so it should be easy to find.
