Layer Slider is a QGIS plugin for navigating and composing ordered layers or layer groups with an intuitive slider, keyboard shortcuts, and dynamic layer compositing.
It is designed for any workflow where you need to flip through a sequence of layers — whether they represent increasing depth (e.g. GPR depth slices), successive points in time (e.g. historical satellite imagery), or alternative visualizations of the same area (e.g. DTM hillshade, slope, aspect). Key features include slider and keyboard navigation, dynamic averaged raster composites, full layer tree integration, caching, and GeoTIFF export.
For a demo, instructions and comparison to alternatives, see the homepage.
