About Morph Slider
Morph Slider brings the next image in over the current one through a growing clip-path, a circle, a diagonal wipe or a slide, with a draining progress bar and thumbnails.
Morph Slider is a display component for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.
When to use Morph Slider
- Hero image sliders.
- Product photography.
- Real estate listings.
- Portfolio showcases.
How it works
Each slide animates clip-path and scale while the previous one scales back. Thumbnails and arrow keys jump, and slide changes are announced.
Interactive parts are buttons or links with accessible names, decorative layers are hidden from assistive tech, and everything is reachable by keyboard. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Morph Slider
Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.
The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change interval, shape, autoPlay live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.
- images.
- interval (number, default 3200).
- shape ("circle" | "diagonal" | "blinds", default "circle").
- autoPlay (boolean, default true).
