Image Slider Generator

Quickly create and customize image sliders and use them in your projects instantly. This tool helps you create an image slider and customize it. It then gives you an iframe that you can use to display the slider on your website.

Visit our home page to create the slider instantly. It's like a drag and drop creator. Just upload the all of your images and change some settings to meet your needs.

REST API

We recommend using our REST API when you want a dynamic slider.

Use Case

If you have a huge website like an e-commerce store with dozens of product pages and you want a slider for each of those pages with different product images then we recommend using the REST API.

How it Works?

You can send all the images you want in the slider along with some optional settings to the REST API and you will get a URL that you can use as a src attribute in iframe tag to show the slider.

Example

Create a single slider

Here's a complete example of using the REST API with React.

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

const images = [
  "https://images.pexels.com/photos/4245826/pexels-photo-4245826.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600",
  "https://images.pexels.com/photos/844297/pexels-photo-844297.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600",
];

const Test = () => {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
  const [src, setSrc] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      setLoading(true);
      const res = await fetch(
        "https://imageslidergenerator.shahmirfaisal.com/api/slider",
        {
          method: "POST",
          body: JSON.stringify({
            images,
            options: {
              // customize the slider
              arrowsColor: "#fff",
              radioButtonSize: 50,
            },
          }),
          headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
          },
        }
      );
      const data = await res.json();
      setSrc(data);
      setLoading(false);
    })();
  }, []);

  if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;

  return (
    <>
      <iframe src={src} style={{ border: "none", width: "300px", height: "300px }}></iframe>
    </>
  );
};

export default Test;

Create multiple sliders

Here's a complete example of using the REST API with React.

import { useState, useEffect } from "react"

const images = [
  "https://images.pexels.com/photos/4245826/pexels-photo-4245826.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600",
  "https://images.pexels.com/photos/844297/pexels-photo-844297.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=600"
]

const TestPage = () => {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)
  const [srcLinks, setSrcLinks] = useState([])

  useEffect(() => {
    ;(async () => {
      setLoading(true)
      const res = await fetch(
        "https://imageslidergenerator.shahmirfaisal.com/api/sliders",
        {
          method: "POST",
          body: JSON.stringify([
            {
              images,
              options: {
                // customize the slider
              }
            },
            {
              images,
              options: {
                // customize the slider
                animationType: "fade"
              }
            }
          ]),
          headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
          }
        }
      )
      const data = await res.json()
      setSrcLinks(data)
      setLoading(false)
    })()
  }, [])

  if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>

  return (
    <>
      {srcLinks.map((src) => (
        <iframe
          src={src}
          style={{ border: "none", width: "300px", height: "300px" }}
        ></iframe>
      ))}
    </>
  )
}

export default TestPage
