How to make a split screen photo

  1. Drop two photos together. The tool starts with a 9:16 split, one photo above the other, edge to edge.
  2. Click a photo and drag it to choose the crop. Zoom in if you want a closer view.
  3. Add a thin gap and a background colour if you want a dividing line, or keep it at zero for a clean split.
  4. Download the image, or save it to your photos on a phone.

Ideas for split screen images

  • A before and after for a Story. The before and after maker adds labels.
  • Two sides of a product, such as the packaging and what is inside.
  • A question above and the answer below, as a quick poll image.

Keep text out of the edges

In Stories and Reels the app puts its own controls over the top and the bottom of the screen. Check where yours land with the safe zone checker before you add text to a split screen image.

What happens to your photos?

Nothing leaves your device. Your browser reads, arranges and exports the photos itself, so there is no upload and no server involved.

FAQ

Which format does a split screen image need?

For Stories and Reels use 9:16, which exports at 1080 × 1920 px. For the feed, switch to 4:5 or 1:1.

Can I split the screen side by side instead?

Yes. Choose the layout with two photos side by side in the layout row.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how often you use it.
