Free plugin
Sliders anyone can make, that look like a pro made them
Start from a template or from your photos. Change a word, a colour, a picture and see it at once on computer, tablet and phone.
Free: one slider per site, unlimited slides. Diorama Pro adds as many as you like.
Want more? Diorama Pro, from €49 a year.
Two ways, one editor
Quick when you are in a hurry, precise when you care
We studied the best-known slider plugins and kept what works, without the complexity.
Ready in two minutes
Pick several photos at once, write a title, a line and a button for each: your slider is done.
Layers you can drag
Headings, texts, buttons, images, icons and shapes, placed right on the slide, with undo and redo.
Made for phones
Every layer can have its own size and place on tablet and phone, or hide there. No more text off the screen.
Backgrounds that move
Photos with a focal point, colours, gradients, videos and the slow Ken Burns zoom, with entrance effects and smooth transitions.
Fast pages
A tiny script only where a slider is, pictures sized for each screen, and no jump while the page loads.
For everyone
Keyboard, a pause button, screen readers and the “reduce motion” preference, all respected out of the box.
From your photos
A slider in two minutes
Choose a few pictures from the library, write a title, a line and a button for each one, and press Create. That is all it takes for a home page that welcomes people with your best photos.
- Every word is optional: a photo alone is fine
- The button can open a page, a post or any address
Templates
Start from a design that works
Ten ready-made sliders for a hero, a restaurant, a shop sale, testimonials, a portfolio, an event, a hotel and more. Pick one, then change words and pictures: the layout is already right on every screen.
The editor
Click, change, see it at once
Slides on the left, the slide in the middle, its settings on the right. Click a title to rewrite it, drag a button where you want it, choose a colour or a font: the slide changes while you work.
- Headings, texts, buttons, images, icons and shapes
- Entrance effects, Ken Burns zoom and smooth transitions
- Undo and redo, and a preview before you publish
Phones
Made to look good on a phone
Switch to tablet or phone and set size and place of each layer just for that screen, or hide it there. Most visitors arrive from a phone: your slider is ready for them.
When you want more
One slider free, more with Pro

Install it

Questions
Is Diorama really free?
Yes. The free version keeps one slider per site, with as many slides as you like, every effect and every template. Diorama Pro adds more sliders, carousels, popups and more motion.
Where can I put my slider?
In any page or post with the Slider block, in a Fresco page with its widget, or anywhere with a shortcode.
Will it slow down my site?
No. Its small script loads only on pages with a slider, and pictures come in the right size for each screen.
What happens if I move to Diorama Pro later?
Nothing changes on your pages: your slider stays as it is, and the new options appear in the same editor.
