Your crew takes a photo when they arrive and a photo when they leave. Every published job page gets a drag-to-reveal slider. Prospects see the full transformation. You don't have to explain a thing.
What is Before & After?Tag a photo BEFORE when you arrive and AFTER when the job is done. The app matches the pair and adds a drag-to-reveal slider to the public job page automatically. No editing. No uploading twice. No marketing work.

How it works
Three taps. One transformation. Published automatically.
1
Tag the Before
When your crew arrives, they open the app, tap Before, and take a photo. Ten seconds. It's attached to the job and saved — GPS-tagged and timestamped.
2
Ghost Camera Guides the After
When the job is done, tap After. The before photo appears at 40% opacity — a ghost on screen so the crew lines up the exact same angle and shoots.
3
Slider Goes Live on the Job Page
Publish the job and the drag-to-reveal slider appears automatically on the public page. Prospects drag left and right to see the full transformation. No editing. No design work.

The ghost overlay camera. Perfectly matched shots, every time.
Most before/after photos don't match. The angle shifts. The framing is off. The comparison looks sloppy and the transformation gets lost.
When your crew taps After, the before photo appears on their screen at 40% opacity — like a ghost. They can see exactly how the original was framed and line up the same angle before they shoot. The result is a matched pair that holds up.
No briefing your crew. No retakes. They see the original frame and match it.

What you get
Why before/after photos work harder than regular job photos.
Every job without a before/after is a transformation you can't show.
Static photos require explanation. A before/after slider doesn't. When a homeowner drags the handle and sees the full change in one motion, they've already seen your work — no pitch needed. Text a prospect the link mid-conversation and the slider closes for you.
Pre-existing damage. Condition on arrival. Work completed. Every before/after pair is stored in your dashboard with the exact time and GPS location of each photo. If a customer claims something wasn't done or a surface was damaged, you have a dated, GPS-tagged record from the job site — not a verbal account.
A static photo album gets a quick scroll. A draggable comparison slider makes someone stop and interact. Prospects who touch your job page spend more time on it — and time on page is one of the clearest signals that someone is seriously considering hiring you.
Most crews already photograph a job site before starting and after finishing — for records, for their own proof, out of habit. The Before/After feature captures those existing photos, links them as a matched pair, and puts them to work on the job page. Nothing new for your crew to learn. Nothing more to remember.
Every published job page has a permanent URL. When you're on a call with a prospect and they want to see your work, you pull up the job page from your dashboard and text it in 15 seconds. They open it and find a full transformation — before/after slider, photos, address, your contact info — at the exact moment they're deciding whether to hire you.
Creating before/after comparisons traditionally requires photo editing, separate upload flows, or third-party tools. With ProjectCheckin, tagging a photo Before or After is one tap. Publishing creates the slider automatically. There's no editing step, no file management, no design work. The whole process for one job takes under two minutes from job site to live slider.

Common questions
Before & After, answered.
No specific order required. In the check-in form, there are Before and After tag buttons for each photo. Your crew can tag them at any point — while photographing, after the job, or when publishing. The ghost overlay camera appears automatically when they tap After and select which Before photo to pair with it.
The job publishes normally with all other photos. The slider only appears on the job page when both a Before and After photo are present. If only one is tagged, the photo still saves to the job record and your gallery — it just won't create a slider. No data is lost and the rest of the job page is unaffected.
Yes. HVAC techs photograph the old unit and the new installation. Electricians photograph the old panel and the upgraded one. Plumbers photograph the problem and the fix. Any job that starts in one state and ends in another — which is nearly every service call — produces a meaningful before/after.
The drag-to-reveal slider appears automatically on the public job page when both a Before and After photo are tagged and the job is published. The same job page also shows your other job photos, business info, and a contact/estimate button. The slider is the featured element at the top of the page.
Yes. You can tag multiple photos as Before and multiple as After on the same job. The job page will display the primary pair as the featured slider, with the remaining tagged photos in the photo gallery below. Large jobs — like a whole-house repaint or a multi-room remodel — can show several distinct before/after moments.
Yes — and that's the point. The before photo is what makes the after meaningful. Prospects need to see where you started to appreciate what you delivered. The slider keeps both in view simultaneously, letting anyone drag back and forth to see the full extent of the work. The before photo isn't a liability — it's the evidence that makes the after photo a proof of skill.
