How to make a before and after video for your business
Before and after posts are the most shared kind of contractor content, because the result speaks for itself. The trick is making the change obvious in the first second, before people scroll past.
This template opens on the before shot, then slides the after up into the frame so the two sit one above the other, labeled. The post image shows the finished split, and the Reel shows the reveal.
How it works
- Upload the beforeTaken on day one, from a spot you can find again.
- Upload the afterSame spot, same angle, ideally the same time of day.
- Write a headlineSay what changed and how fast: "Full roof replacement in 2 days."
- Download bothThe Reel's reveal is what gets shared, so post the video too.
Tips
- Matching angles matter more than camera quality.
- Landscape photos work: the template crops each half to fit.
- Name the job type in the headline; people search for "roof replacement", not "project".
Questions
Can I make a before and after video from photos?
Yes, that's what this does: two photos in, an animated before and after Reel out, with your logo and phone number.
Is it really free?
Yes. Post images are free and unlimited, with no account. The animated Reel MP4 is free for 3 Reels a month: you enter your email so we can send you the file. Both carry a small “Made with Vizzmo” mark in the corner.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. The post maker runs in your browser, on a phone or a computer. Your business name, phone number, logo and color are saved in that browser, so the next post takes seconds.
What sizes do I get?
The post image downloads at 1080×1350 (4:5 portrait, the tallest size the Instagram feed shows) or 1080×1080 square for Facebook and Google Business Profile. The animated Reel is 1080×1920, ready for Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
