Create stylish image galleries
MetaSlider Gallery allows you to create stylish image galleries that work with the block editor, the Classic Editor, and any page-builder. To create a new gallery, find the “Galleries” screen.
There are five layouts available for your image gallery: Grid, Masonry, Justified, Carousel, and Showcase.
- Grid: Show your images in rows and columns. Each row and column will be the same size.
- Masonry: Show the images in a grid-like layout, but this approach has a flexible placement that fills gaps left by shorter items.
- Justified: This allows each image to keep its original aspect ratio, so it won’t always be possible to fill each row edge-to-edge.
- Carousel: Show one main image at the time. The visitor can use arrows or the thumbnail navigation to browse to the next image.
- Showcase: Shows one image at a time. In this layout, the arrows and the thumbnail navigation are both underneath the image.
