What can Diapo Slideshow do for you?
Built for real Joomla sites
Drop images into a module and publish an Overlay, Split, or Stacked slideshow. Slides can come from Media Manager, a folder, or article intro images. Fade, slide, or zoom, with optional Ken Burns. Flush with the page by default, or add a card look when you want one. No jQuery.

Captions sit on the image with a designed gradient. The default homepage hero look.
