# Before After Image Effect
Use Before & After in a job’s Gallery to combine two photos into a single comparison image. You can edit the layout and labels, align the photos, and then download the result or view it again in the Gallery.
* Proof of work and accountability: A before/after comparison makes it easy to demonstrate what changed on-site, helping validate completion and reduce disputes.
* Better customer communication: Customers can quickly understand the outcome without having to read long notes, which improves trust and satisfaction.
*Navigation: Jobs → open a Job → Gallery → select 2 images → Before & After*
Job -> Gallery (**Gallery tab** highlighted in the bottom action bar)
## **Create a Before & After**

* Click Before & After on the bottom action bar to open Before & After Studio.

## **Troubleshooting**
1. **I don’t see the “Before & After” button**
You should “**Enable Job Gallery**” from the Job settings. Confirm you selected exactly two images in the Gallery. The action appears on the bottom bar only after it is selected.
2. **The Before and after photos don’t line up**
Use Position (drag to reposition) and Zoom first, then fine-tune with Rotation if needed.
## **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)**
1. What is a Before & After image in Zuper Gallery?
A Before & After is a single comparison image created from two photos in a job’s Gallery, presented in a selectable layout (for example, side-by-side). You need to open the job and use the option.
Note: The before and after option is not available in Photo Feed.

Open Jobs → select a job → Gallery, then select two images. The Before & After button appears in the bottom action bar.
3. Why can’t I see the “**Before & After**” button?
This usually happens when:
* You selected fewer than 2 images, or
* You selected more than 2 images
Select exactly two images to enable Before & After.
4. Can I choose which photo is “**Before**” and which is “**After**”?
* Yes. In Before & After Studio, you can set and edit each side using the Before and After tools in the left toolbar. You can also swap both images during editing.

Tip: Start with Position + Zoom, then fine-tune with Rotation.
8. What does “**Reset All**” do?
Reset All clears the edits you’ve made in the studio and returns the view to the default state.
9. What happens when I click “**Save to Gallery**”?
Zuper saves the generated Before & After image back into the job’s Gallery. You’ll see a confirmation message: “**File uploaded successfully**”.
***Note***: The newly created **before and after** images will be created as separate images, whereas the original images will be intact.
10. What happens when I click “**Download**”?
Zuper downloads the generated Before & After image to your device. Your browser/desktop will prompt you to choose a location and click Save.
11. What file type is downloaded?
Based on the download save dialog, the file is saved as a PNG image.
12. Can I leave the studio without saving?
Yes. Click Back. If you’ve made changes, Zuper will prompt you about unsaved changes:
Cancel to keep editing
Discard Changes to exit without saving
13. Will creating a Before & After delete or change my original photos?
No, your original photos remain in the Gallery. The Before & After result is generated as a new output you can save/download.
14. Who can create or save Before & After images?
Access can depend on your organization’s permissions and role settings. If you don’t see Gallery actions or can’t save, contact your Zuper admin.
15. Can I edit a saved Before & After image later?
If you need a different layout/label/alignment, the typical approach is to reselect the original two images and create a new Before & After output, then save/download again.
