Do I need to mark the renovation areas?
No. Upload your after photo as the main image, add the before photo as a reference image, and describe the composite layout you want. The AI handles alignment, labels, and formatting automatically. Markers are only useful for refinement if the AI misaligns specific areas or places labels over important details.
How do I create before and after renovation photos for a real estate listing?
Upload the finished renovation photo as your main image. Click '+ Add reference image' and upload the original pre-renovation photo. Type 'create a professional before-and-after renovation comparison, Before on left, After on right, clean white border, MLS-ready quality.' The AI creates a single composite image you can upload directly to your MLS listing, Zillow, or Realtor.com profile. Takes about 30 seconds.
Is there a free tool for renovation before/after comparisons?
Yes. EditThisPic creates renovation before/after composites completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Upload both photos, describe the layout, and download the result. One free edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for multiple composites when documenting an entire renovation project.
Do the before and after photos need to be taken from the same angle?
Similar angles produce the best composites, but they don't need to be identical. The AI can correct moderate perspective differences. For the most convincing results, try to shoot both photos from the same spot in the room at the same height. If the angles are very different, add 'correct perspective to match' in your prompt and the AI will adjust.
What resolution should my renovation photos be for the best composite?
Higher resolution is better for showing renovation details like new tile grout lines, cabinet hardware, and fixture finishes. Photos from any modern smartphone work well. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. For print portfolios or large trade show displays, use the highest resolution photos available to preserve fine details in the final composite.
Can I create before/after composites for multiple rooms in one renovation project?
Yes, but one composite at a time. Use the same prompt template for every room to maintain a consistent portfolio look. For example, use 'create before-and-after, reference as before, white border, clean labels' for each room. This creates a cohesive multi-room renovation showcase. Plans with credits let you batch-process an entire home renovation in one sitting.
Are these composites suitable for MLS listings and real estate marketing?
Yes. The composites are high-resolution, professionally formatted, and suitable for MLS uploads, Zillow, Realtor.com, property flyers, and social media marketing. Request 'MLS-ready' or 'real estate listing quality' in your prompt for clean formatting that meets professional standards. Most MLS systems accept standard JPG and PNG formats.
How is this different from the AI before-after collage maker or virtual staging tool?
This tool composites two REAL renovation photos into one comparison image. The before-after collage maker creates generic side-by-side layouts for any photo type. Virtual staging generates AI furniture in empty rooms. Use this tool when you have actual before and after renovation photos and need a professional comparison composite showing real transformation for listings or portfolios.
