Can I stack them vertically instead?

Yes — choose a vertical layout to put one photo above the other, or horizontal for true side-by-side.

Great for before-and-after?

Exactly — it's the simplest way to line up two versions of something into one shareable comparison image.

Do the two photos need to be the same size?

No, but they should be the same orientation. Each is cropped to fill an identical cell, so a portrait and a landscape together means one of them loses a lot at the edges. Match them beforehand if you can.

Can I label the halves before and after?

Not inside this tool. Download the combined image and open it in the Add Text to Photo tool, which stamps text in a corner or across the picture; two passes give you one label per side.

drop several photos — they fill the layout in order

Two photos next to each other say more than either alone: the room before and after the renovation, the haircut from the front and the side, a product in two colours, the same view in summer and winter. One combined image is also far easier to post, send or print than two files that may get separated.

Here you choose the side-by-side layout, add the two photos in the order you want them to appear, and download a single picture. Each photo is cropped to fill its half so the two cells are the same size and the join is even, and there is nothing to drag or align. Everything is assembled on your device, with no upload, so progress photos of your body or your home do not go through anyone's server.

Two things make a comparison convincing. Shoot both pictures from the same spot at the same zoom, so that the viewer compares the subject and not the framing. And remember that the edges of each photo are what gets trimmed to fit the cell, so keep the subject near the centre of each one; a landscape and a portrait mixed together will lose more than you expect. For a label such as before and after on each half, run the finished image through the Add Text to Photo tool.
