Image Gallery Google Style

Description

Transform your regular WordPress galleries into elegant grids of thumbnails. Click on any thumbnail to open a panel and display a bigger image with its title and caption and previous and next buttons. Easy to use (just edit a gallery and check a box), matches any theme, clean standards compliant code, responsive, supports high resolution screens, no image cropping.

Supported in Classic Editor, either using the plugin, or using the Classic Editor block in Gutenberg. Do NOT set thumbnails to crop in WordPress Admin / Settings / Media.

Works as expected, gives a nice Google-look to your web site. Very happy with the service, replied asap!

Very glad i found this brilliant plugin! It’s clean, without unnecessary distractions (no lightbox!) and works perfect. The fact that it lines up all the images very neat (including on smartphones) and the ability to add caption and title next to the image, makes it a no-brainer. I did purchase the pro version which has some additional settings. The developer (Mike) is very kind and dedicated to help and to further develop the plugin. Thumbs up! Bert
