What’s new in Epic Gallery 1.0.3

What it does
Plain image grids often make it hard for visitors to see detail in a photo, and building a zoomable gallery by hand usually means writing code. This plugin gives you gallery elements inside the page builder you already use, so you can set up zooming galleries through the familiar editor. You control layout and style from the backend, and the galleries display responsively on phones, tablets and desktops, with retina support for high resolution screens.
On the front end, visitors can zoom in and out to look at images closely, switch to a fullscreen view, or browse a slider that expands within your content. You can attach captions or longer descriptions to each image, and there is an ads optimized gallery option that lets you place advertisements inside your galleries. It suits sites that lean on visuals, such as photography portfolios, design studios, blogs and business pages. Elementor is required, and the addons also work with WPBakery.
Best for
- Photographers and designers presenting portfolio work
- Bloggers who publish image-heavy posts
- Business sites built with Elementor or WPBakery
Features
Elementor and WPBakery addons
Build and customize image galleries inside Elementor or WPBakery using the builder's own editor, with no coding needed to set up a gallery.
Zoom in and out
Visitors can zoom into images to inspect fine detail, then zoom back out, with smooth transitions between views.
Fullscreen mode
A simple toggle displays images as full-screen backgrounds, which works well for portfolios and presentations where each image needs the whole screen.
Image descriptions
Add captions or more detailed descriptions to individual images so visitors get context about what they are looking at.
Ads optimized gallery
Place advertisements within your galleries, giving sites that run ads a way to include them alongside image content.
Expandable gallery slider
Show a gallery as a slider embedded in your content, combined with the same interactive zoom features as the other layouts.
Responsive and retina ready
Galleries adapt to different screen sizes and support high resolution displays, so images stay sharp on modern devices.
Questions about Epic Gallery
Which page builders does Epic Gallery work with?
The plugin provides gallery addons for both Elementor and WPBakery. Elementor is listed as a requirement, and you create and style your galleries through the builder's editor rather than writing code.
Can visitors zoom into images on mobile devices?
The galleries are responsive and retina ready, so they adapt to different screen sizes and high resolution displays. The zoom in and out feature is part of the gallery display, letting visitors look closely at image detail.
Can I show ads inside a gallery?
Yes. There is an ads optimized gallery option that lets you integrate advertisements within your galleries, which is useful for blogs and content sites that run ads next to their images.
What gallery layouts are available?
You can use a fullscreen mode that shows images as full-screen backgrounds, and a normal expand gallery slider that sits inside your content. Both include the interactive zoom features, and you can add descriptions to images.
Is Epic Gallery free?
