What it does
Static images can only show one thing at a time. If you want to compare a room before and after a remodel, or show the back of a product next to the front, you usually need two separate images and extra space on the page. This addon solves that by placing both images in one spot and swapping them when a visitor hovers. It runs inside Elementor, so you build the effect in the editor you already use, with no coding required.
You start from one of 31 preset designs, then change the images and the overlay colors to match your branding. The effect is responsive and retina ready, so it adapts to different screen sizes and high-resolution displays. It works with WordPress themes built on Elementor and across major browsers. A .pot file is included, so you can translate the plugin's text for sites in other languages.
Best for
- Elementor sites showing before-and-after photos
