# Image Comparer

[component-header:sl-image-comparer]

For best results, use images that share the same dimensions. The slider can be controlled by dragging or pressing the left and right arrow keys. (Tip: press shift + arrows to move the slider in larger intervals, or home + end to jump to the beginning or end.)

## Examples

### Initial Position

Use the `position` attribute to set the initial position of the slider. This is a percentage from `0` to `100`.

```html preview
<sl-image-comparer position="25">
  <img
    slot="before"
    src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1520903074185-8eca362b3dce?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1200&q=80"
    alt="A person sitting on bricks wearing untied boots."
  />
  <img

    alt="A person sitting on a yellow curb tying shoelaces on a boot."
  />
</sl-image-comparer>
