Organize images into galleries

Image Gallery Premium is a WordPress gallery add-on for portfolios, photography blogs, business sites, and other image collections. Create as many galleries as needed, add unlimited images to each, select them from the media library, and arrange their order with drag and drop.

Choose a layout for the collection

Grid galleries use rows and columns, while masonry galleries arrange images according to their dimensions. Circle layouts offer another presentation style. Grid layouts support aspect ratios such as 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9. Standard column options range from two to six; high-resolution widescreen layouts can use up to 16 columns. Galleries adapt to smaller screens, and widget support lets you place them in sidebar areas.

Adjust spacing, borders, corner radius, border thickness and opacity, and card colors. Choose whether image titles appear over the hover overlay or below each image. Image alt text and descriptions shown in the lightbox help provide context for visitors.

Set how images load and open

Choose among six lightbox scripts: G Lightbox, PhotoSwipe v4, Modal, Viewer, Blue Imp, and LD Lightbox. Each opens the selected image in an overlay. A website-wide settings page includes controls for lazy loading, WebP conversion, skeleton placeholders, loading animations, and backup import and export. Set colors for shimmering skeletons or spinner, pulse, and dots animations.

For galleries with more images, AJAX Load More pagination offers button styles including solid, outline, glass, neon, and gradient. Custom redirect links can be assigned to individual slides with same-tab or new-tab targets.

Manage and reuse gallery settings

Duplicate or clone a gallery to copy its settings and slides. A custom CSS editor is available in the admin dashboard. Custom profile headers come in standard, centered, and compact layouts, using mock social branding designs.

Publish galleries in a post or page

Use the shortcode [IMG-Gal id=X] in a post, page, text widget, or custom template. In Gutenberg, add the Image Gallery block, select a gallery, and preview it in the editor. In Elementor, add the Image Gallery widget to a layout and choose the gallery.

2. Upload images or choose them from the media library, then arrange their order.
