Why Image Gallery Block?
Image Gallery Block is a lightweight Gutenberg gallery plugin that lets you create responsive image galleries, photo galleries, Polaroid galleries, portfolio galleries, and lightbox galleries directly inside the WordPress block editor. Display images in elegant grids, stylish cards, or Polaroid-style layouts, organize photos into albums, and open every image in a clean lightbox popup.
Everything adapts automatically to desktop, tablet, and mobile, and scripts only load on pages that actually use the block – so your galleries look great without slowing your site down. Titles, subtitles, dates, typography, gradients, shadows, and hover effects are all configurable from the block sidebar.
Need more? Pro unlocks advanced layouts including Masonry, Dynamic Motion, 3D Parallax, Hexagonal grids, and interactive 3D Image Sliders – perfect for photography portfolios, product showcases, and visual storytelling pages.

Frequently asked questions.
Is Image Gallery Block free?
Yes. The free version includes responsive image galleries with grid and Polaroid layouts plus a built-in lightbox popup. A Pro version is available with advanced layouts and design controls.
Can I create a photo gallery with Gutenberg?
Yes. Image Gallery Block lets you create responsive photo galleries directly in the WordPress Gutenberg editor without any additional page builder.
Can I create an image gallery in WordPress without Elementor?
Yes. Image Gallery Block works directly inside the WordPress Gutenberg editor and does not require Elementor or any page builder.
Can I create a masonry image gallery in WordPress?
Yes. The Pro version includes advanced Masonry image gallery layouts with responsive column controls.
Does this plugin include a lightbox image gallery?
Yes. The free version includes a built-in lightbox popup that lets visitors view images in an enlarged overlay.
Can I create a responsive photo gallery?
Yes. All gallery layouts automatically adapt to desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Does Image Gallery Block work with WooCommerce?
Yes. You can use Image Gallery Block to create product galleries, product showcases, and visual collections on WooCommerce-powered websites.
Will the gallery slow down my website?
No. The plugin uses optimized script loading – its scripts only load on pages where the block is actually used, helping maintain site performance.
Can I add titles, subtitles, and dates to gallery images?
Yes. You can add and edit titles and subtitles for each image, customize their typography responsively, and show or hide image dates formatted with the built-in date picker.
Can I use a shortcode instead of the block?
Yes. Go to Image Gallery → Add New , build your gallery, publish it, then copy the shortcode from the Shortcode column of the gallery list — it looks like [image_gallery id=123] .
This is the way to reuse one gallery in several places, or to put a gallery somewhere the block editor cannot reach: a widget, a page-builder row, or a theme template. The gallery is edited in one place and every copy of the shortcode follows it.
The block itself has not changed. If you only need a gallery on one page, adding the block straight to that page is still the simplest way.
Is Image Gallery Block translation ready?
Yes. The plugin is translation ready and fully compatible with multilingual websites.
How do I get support?
Free users can get help through the WordPress.org support forum. Pro users receive priority email support from our team.
Where do I report security vulnerabilities?
