Technical Guide

Two images are stacked using absolute positioning. The top image uses CSS clip-path: inset(0 X% 0 0) where X is derived from slider position. Mouse and touch event listeners track drag position as a percentage of container width. Canvas compositing generates the downloadable output by drawing both images and a divider line.
