The before-and-after format works because it bypasses the logical brain and speaks directly to pattern recognition. Our eyes are wired to detect change and contrast.

The horizontal 1×2 split (before left, after right) is the universal format. Always photograph before and after from the identical angle, distance, and lighting conditions.

MergeFrame processes everything locally. Your private photos never leave your device.
