Image Compare

#Overview

Introduction: The Image Compare component allows users to compare two images interactively by using a sliding bar to reveal differences between the left and right images. This feature is perfect for before-and-after showcases, product comparisons, or any visual content where highlighting changes is essential.

Key Features:

• Interactive sliding bar that enables users to control the reveal of two overlapping images.
• Customizable image orientation (landscape or portrait) to suit different types of visual content.
• Includes title, description, and optional call-to-action buttons to enhance the component’s context and functionality.
• Supports custom color schemes to ensure seamless integration with your website’s branding.

Best use cases

Examples of Effective Use:

• Ideal for before-and-after visuals, such as home renovations, beauty transformations, or product improvements.
• Useful for product comparisons, enabling users to see differences between versions or models.
• Perfect for service showcases, demonstrating changes achieved through your offerings, like editing, detailing, or repairs.

How NOT to use this

Common Missteps:

• Avoid using images that are too similar, as the comparison slider will have minimal impact and may confuse users.
• Do not use images with different orientations (portrait vs. landscape).
• Ensure that both images are of high quality and visually aligned to prevent an inconsistent or distracting experience.
• Make sure aspect ratios of the images is similar. For example, combing a 16x9 image with a 3x4 image won't work well.

FAQ, pro tips, and troubleshooting

• Pro Tip: Use high-contrast images that clearly show differences to maximize the impact of the comparison.
  Troubleshooting:
• If the slider does not function correctly, check the live site, as slider interaction does not work in preview mode.
• If one of the images doesn't look right compared to the other, chances are that you have aspect ratios that are too different.
