Gallery & Portfolio

Show your work beautifully. Albums with a clean grid or masonry layout, captions, and a fast lightbox — no external libraries, no page-builder required.

What it does

  • Albums — as many as you need: portfolio, team, before/after shots, certificates, interiors.
  • Two layouts — Grid with equal, smart-cropped tiles, or Masonry keeping the original proportions. 1–6 columns, custom gap; collapses gracefully on phones.
  • Bulk upload — up to 30 photos at once; previews and resized variants (thumb / medium / large) are generated automatically by the core image processor, so pages stay fast.
  • Lightbox — click opens the photo fullscreen with arrows, keyboard navigation, touch swipe, a counter and captions. Written from scratch, weighs ~2 KB, CSP-friendly.
  • Captions & alt texts — per photo, with the alt text feeding image SEO.
  • One tag to embed — {gallery slug="works"} works in page content, news posts and theme templates alike. Several albums on one page? No problem.

Details that matter

  • Hide a photo without deleting it; reorder with one click.
  • Deleting a photo removes its files from the server — no orphaned uploads.
  • Files live in public/uploads/gallery/ and travel with your normal backups.
  • JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF up to 15 MB per file.
