Getting Started

ProgressReveal helps you create professional before-and-after comparisons using photos from your iPhone.

Create Your First Project

Open ProgressReveal.
Go to the Capture or Library tab.
Tap the + button to create a project.
Enter a descriptive project name.
Open the project.
Add your BEFORE photo.
Add your AFTER photo.
Use the interactive comparison slider.

Tip: For the best results, photograph the same subject from approximately the same position and angle.

Interactive Before & After Comparisons

Once both photos are added, ProgressReveal creates an interactive comparison.

Horizontal Comparison

Drag the comparison divider left or right to reveal the before and after images.

Vertical Comparison

Switch the comparison orientation to Vertical. Drag the divider up or down to reveal changes.

Change Comparison Orientation

Open a project with two photos.
Find the Live Comparison section.
Tap the Horizontal or Vertical control.
Select your preferred comparison orientation.

You can drag directly across the comparison image or use the slider control beneath it.

Automatic Photo Alignment

ProgressReveal includes automatic photo alignment to help match before and after images.

Automatic Alignment

Add your BEFORE and AFTER photos.
Allow the app to process the images.
Review the aligned comparison.
Drag the slider to examine the results.

Re-align Photos

If the images do not match correctly, tap Re-align to try automatic alignment again.

Manually Adjust Alignment

Open the Live Comparison section.
Tap Adjust.
Fine-tune the image alignment.
Review the comparison.

Use Undo to reverse an applicable alignment adjustment.

Alignment Tip: Images with similar perspectives, recognizable details, and consistent framing typically align best. Large viewpoint changes or differences in zoom may reduce alignment accuracy.

Custom Watermarks & Branding

Sharing Your Transformations

ProgressReveal offers several ways to share completed comparisons.

Share Current Image (JPG)

Share Reveal Video (MP4)

Open a completed comparison.
Scroll to View & Share.
Find Share Your Comparison.
Tap Share Reveal Video.
Wait for the video to finish processing.
Save or share the resulting MP4 file.

Reveal videos begin with the BEFORE image and progressively reveal the AFTER image.
