Create a before/after comparison

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 1 min read

Compare two photos using a movable divider.

Photos with matching viewpoints and similar proportions make comparison clearer.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Add both images

    PropertiesBefore (Left)

    Insert Before/After from Elements > Media. Assign a file or gallery image to each side. Removing an incorrect photo clears that side only.

  2. 2

    Configure the divider

    PropertiesSlider settings

    Choose horizontal or vertical direction and set the initial position as a percentage. Let readers see both states initially. Adjust divider color and corner radius.

  3. 3

    Edit labels

    PropertiesLabels

    Edit the before/after labels and place them over, above, or below the images, or hide them. Hidden visual labels do not remove the need for accessible image descriptions.

  4. 4

    Describe each state

    PropertiesAccessibility

    In accessible authoring, describe what each image shows. Explain the changed detail instead of using only “before” and “after.”

  5. 5

    Test the comparison

    EditorPreview

    Move the divider to both ends and check orientation, initial position, and labels. Recheck alignment when changing the block’s size.

Check the result in preview, then verify the reader experience in the published version.
