What it does
Putting a large set of images on a WordPress site can get messy without a proper gallery tool. This plugin gives you a drag and drop builder for uploading, arranging and customizing galleries without writing code. You choose from gallery templates, adjust them to match your branding, and add custom CSS if you want finer control. Galleries can hold photos and videos together, and finished galleries open in fullscreen lightbox slideshows.
The plugin also covers the work that comes after a gallery is built. Photographers can sync edits from Adobe Lightroom, pull images in from Instagram, and add text or image watermarks. Sensitive galleries can sit behind a password, with right-click disabled. With WooCommerce, you can sell photos straight from a gallery and handle order proofing. There is also an AI image generation option offering square, wide and portrait sizes, plus scheduling to control when a gallery is visible.
Best for
- Photographers building portfolios or client galleries
- Bloggers who publish lots of photos and videos
- Creatives selling prints and photos through WooCommerce
