Step-by-Step Guide

1

Choose your comparison type

Before/After: Show transformation or improvement. Feature Comparison: Highlight specs side-by-side. Vs Competitor: Show advantages (carefully). Size Comparison: Show scale with common objects.

Pro Tip: Before/after comparisons are the most persuasive for products that solve visible problems.
2

Prepare your images

Get consistent photos of all items being compared. Same lighting, angle, and background creates fair visual comparison. Use background removal for clean cutouts.

Pro Tip: Inconsistent presentation looks unfair and reduces trust.
3

Create the comparison layout

Use our Product Studio to create side-by-side layouts. Add labels, arrows, and callouts to highlight differences. Keep it clean - don't overload with information.

Pro Tip: Left = before/competitor, Right = after/your product. This follows natural reading order.
4

Add compelling copy

Label key differences with short, punchy text. Focus on benefits, not just features. '50% more battery life' beats 'Larger battery'.

Pro Tip: Use your customers' language - how would they describe the benefit?
5

Export and deploy

Export in multiple sizes for different uses: product listings, social media, email campaigns, and ads. Comparison images work great in retargeting ads.

Pro Tip: A/B test your comparison images - small changes in layout can significantly impact conversions.
