What it does
Presenting a mix of photos and videos on one page can get messy, especially when visitors arrive on phones and tablets as often as on desktops. This plugin places everything in a single grid that adjusts to screen size and orientation, so a portfolio, photo collection or video reel keeps its layout on any device. Touch interactions work on iOS and Android, and the gallery is built to display consistently in modern browsers.
Each item in the grid can open in a lightbox for full-screen viewing with navigation between items, or it can point to a custom URL that opens in the same tab or a new one. Visitors can share content to Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest from the lightbox, and deep linking lets you send people straight to a specific image or video. You can add descriptive text to every image and adjust settings such as animation speed, easing and whether the gallery runs full width or centered.
Best for
- Photographers and videographers presenting portfolios
- Bloggers sharing photo collections and video reels
- Business sites displaying mixed image and video content
