where two photos beat one
for travel
Travel diaries pair beautifully: the wide street shot next to the tight detail. Drop both into wide diptych mode, set a 30px gap on cream paper. The pair tells a story neither photo could alone — same place, two scales.
for before/after
Before/after only works when the two photos sit at the same size at the same time. Diptych side-by-side does that. The kitchen pre-paint and post-paint, the dough before kneading and after, the haircut last week and today.
for couples
Couples portraits often have one good shot of each person and no good shot of both. Diptych them: each in their own slot, side-by-side, ink paper background. Reads as 'designed' instead of 'we couldn't get a good one of us together'.
for products
Etsy or Marketplace listings perform better when buyers see both sides of the product in one frame. Diptych the front and back into a single image, kraft background, slim gap. Counts as one of the listing's photos but tells two — more info per swipe.
for pinterest
Pinterest favors tall pins. Stack two photos vertically at 1200×2400 and you've got a saver-magnet — feed-tall, tells a sequence (recipe step 1 / step 2, before / after, ingredient / result). Captions optional; the pair speaks.
for journals
Real journal spreads cross the gutter. A digital diptych with a small gap on cream paper mimics that feel — left page and right page, treated as a single piece. Add captions in another tool, glue onto a kraft background, post.
in case you're wondering
No. The diptych composites on a canvas in your browser. Your photos never touch our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all.
Each slot cover-fits its photo — the photo scales up to fill the slot, with edges trimmed. The X/Y offset sliders under each slot let you slide the photo within its slot to control which area shows.
Yes. The split slider goes from 20/80 to 80/20. A 60/40 split lets the hero photo dominate while the secondary photo gets a slimmer panel. For a magazine 'main image plus detail' feel, try 70/30.
The gap fills with the paper-color background. A 0px gap means photos butt edge-to-edge; a 40-50px gap reads as a journal spread with the gutter visible. Match the gap color to the page you'll print on, if you're going to print.
Not in this tool. For captions, run the result through Add Text to Photo afterward — drop the caption in the gap area or below the diptych. Or pre-caption each photo before bringing them in.
Depends on your size preset. Wide diptych is 2400×1200, square is 1200×1200, tall is 1200×2400, story is 1080×1920. JPG at 92% quality. Drop through Image Compressor afterward if the file is too big for your destination.
