About this tool.
Full Screen Galleries creates an automatic full-screen slideshow mode for image galleries in your content. Posts and pages with several immages are automatically transformed into a full-screen browsing mode when you select an image. Within the slideshow, visitors can see captions and access full-size images. The slideshow allows visitors to easily browse larger versions of your images.
This plugin differs from the core WordPress “lightbox” feature and other similar plugins with its philosophy to: 1. Consistently work out of the box for all pages with at least three images, regardless of their source (image block, gallery block, gallery shortcode, or other legacy post/page content). No manual setup or configuration required. 2. Maximize the size of enlarged images, including access to a direct link to the original source image for further browser zooming. 3. Load full size image content only when needed, progressively enhancing the user experience without impacting performance for initial pageloads. 4. Enable consistent, accessible navigation between images, in and out of the slideshow, and across keyboard, mouse, and touch input modes.

Frequently asked questions.
Where’s the settings page?
This plugin does not have or need any settings. Slideshows will automatically work on any single post or page view with at least three images. Click on an image to open the slideshow.
How Does it Work?
Full Screen Galleries is a frontend-based JavaScript application. It searches through your post content for images and automatically creates a gallery slideshow if there are at least three images in the content. It only runs on single post and page views (it does not run on home pages, archives, etc.).
