A customizable Elementor image ticker for showcasing logos, partners, products, and banners with full control over style and behavior.

== Description ==

**Elementor Image Ticker Carousel** is a flexible and lightweight Elementor widget for creating continuously scrolling image tickers.

Use it to display logos, sponsors, products, featured items, or other images in a seamless horizontal loop. Each item can include an optional title, subtitle, and link. The widget works directly inside Elementor's drag-and-drop editor and includes controls for motion, spacing, dimensions, and styling.
