What it does
Showing a lot of photos on a WordPress site can get messy fast. Images end up stacked in uneven rows or crammed into a layout that does not suit them. This plugin gives you three gallery layouts to choose from: a clean grid, a masonry wall that fits images of different heights together, and a justified layout that lines up rows edge to edge. You create and manage galleries inside the dashboard, so there is no code to touch.
Once a gallery is built, you can tune its look with settings for spacing, borders, captions and hover effects so it matches the rest of your site. Galleries are responsive and adapt to desktops, tablets and phones. Lazy loading brings images in as visitors scroll, and alt tags are supported on gallery images. It suits photographers, bloggers and creative professionals who want a tidy way to present their work alongside their existing theme.
Best for
- Photographers presenting portfolios on WordPress
- Bloggers who publish photo-heavy posts
- Creative professionals displaying visual work

Questions about Meow Gallery Pro
Which gallery layouts can I choose from?
There are three layouts: grid, masonry and justified. Grid places images in even rows and columns, masonry fits images of varying heights together like a wall, and justified arranges rows so they line up edge to edge.
Do I need coding skills to build a gallery?
No. Galleries are created and customized inside the WordPress dashboard with visual controls. You can change spacing, borders, captions and hover effects through the settings without editing any code.
Will my galleries work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Galleries are responsive and adjust to different screen sizes, so they display on desktops, tablets and smartphones. Lazy loading also brings images in as visitors scroll rather than loading everything at once.
Does the plugin expose my photos' EXIF data in the page?
The gallery data written into the HTML keeps only the image dimensions. The full list of image sizes and the EXIF data are no longer included in that markup.
Is Meow Gallery Pro free?
The code of Meow Gallery Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Meow Gallery Pro is this?
Version 5.5.6, released Oct 3, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Meow Gallery Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Meow Gallery Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
