What can Diapo Slideshow do for you?
Built for real Joomla sites
Drop images into a module and publish an Overlay, Split, or Stacked slideshow. Slides can come from Media Manager, a folder, or article intro images. Fade, slide, or zoom, with optional Ken Burns. Flush with the page by default, or add a card look when you want one. No jQuery.
Overlay / Split / Stacked
Three Finished Layouts
Overlay
Captions sit on the image with a designed gradient. The default homepage hero look.
Split
Image stage plus a caption panel on the right or left. Stacks when the module is narrow.
Stacked
Image first, then the caption below. Good for galleries and sidebars.
Manual / Folder / Articles
Three Slide Sources
Manual slides
Add images from Media Manager with eyebrow, title, description, and link.
Image folder
Point at a folder under images/. JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF load in filename order.
