Telling a visual story with a 'before' and 'after' juxtaposition? Image compare sliders offer a slick and fun interaction to bring it to life.

There are two different ways you can add an image comparison: as an element or as a section.

As an element:

  1. From the top menu bar, click Add Menu (Shortcut: M)

  2. Search for and select Image Compare

  3. Click and drag the element onto your canvas with your preferred size

As a Section

  1. Open the Add menu (Shortcut: M)

  2. Select Section

  3. Choose Image Compare

  4. Click on Add section here on your canvas

Styling an image compare

Select the image compare element on your canvas to reveal the options in the style panel on the right.

  • Spacing top: Add padding to the top of the Image Compare section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections

  • Spacing bottom: Add padding to the bottom of the Image Compare section in pixels or % to keep spacing between sections

  • Width: The width of an Image Compare section can't be altered, it'll always be set to cover the 100%

  • Height: Set the height of the Image Compare section in Pixels, % or set it to Auto so that it grows as you add content to it
