About this plugin
Image Split is a friendly, lightweight way to show before and after photos, product comparisons, or makeovers — all with a smooth draggable slider visitors can move with a mouse, touch, or keyboard.
Unlike clunky embeds or heavy page builders, Image Split:
🧩 Fits your workflow — Drop in a block (in posts or under Appearance → Widgets), or paste a shortcode.
🎨 Looks polished — Horizontal or vertical layout, ruler styles (line, bar, circle), and labels you can style to match your brand.
♿ Stays accessible — Keyboard navigation and ARIA support so more people can use your comparisons.
⚙️ Saves time — Set global defaults under Settings → Image Split so new comparisons start with your look.
Need product pages or Elementor? Premium adds WooCommerce and Elementor, plus deeper per-item customization.

How does Image Split work?
You choose two images (before and after). Image Split renders them as one comparison with a movable divider. The free plugin ships the block (for content and widget areas), shortcode, and global defaults; Premium adds WooCommerce and Elementor integrations built for stores and visual builders.
