Cycle2 – The Popular jQuery Slideshow Plugin Got Better
Cycle, a pretty old yet very popular jQuery slideshow plugin now has a new, improved version: Cycle2.
The plugin is perfect for anyone looking to create a completely customized slideshow as it does not declare any markup or style. And, its functionality is flexible too.
Cycle2 supports responsive layouts, has options for everything (global and per slide) and can be extended easily using a full-featured API.
For browsing, there are built-in pagers and prev/next controls. And, for a flawless experience, it supports (progressive) image loading and delayed initialization.
Transitions offered are fade, scroll, shuffle, tile and carousel. Each slide comes with its own URL (bookmarking support) and it is mobile friendly (swiping).
There are lots of demos and a detailed documentation for easily learning the details of the plugin.
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Glad to see it updated. It is one of my most used, go-to plugins.
Hi,
I’ve just discovered this new version and it has some great features. Really very impressive! Also the documentation is really good and comprehensive.
I am having an issue getting non-image slides (li list) to work with the progressive loading feature though, which is a shame… So if anyone knows if this is possible I’d love to hear from them.
Thanks,
Tom
