Image Upload Guidelines for Your Photo Gallery Widget

This article will guide you through uploading images to your Photo Gallery widget. We’ll cover the best dimensions, formats, and resolutions to help your photos shine. Let’s dive in and make your gallery even better!

Here are some tips for optimizing your images:

  • Optimal Resolution: Full HD (1920 x 1080 px) works well for most uses.
  • Maximum Resolution: Quad HD (2560 x 1440 px) is ideal for high-quality images.
  • Mobile Consideration: Lower resolutions are fine for mobile devices and help with load speed and data saving.
  • File Size: We suggest keeping file sizes under 1 MB for better loading speed and user experience.

You can upload images in any proportion, as all images will be shown in their original size in the popup:

However, preview images on the main gallery page may appear differently depending on your chosen layout. Some layouts maintain the original proportions, while others automatically crop or adjust the images.

Click the toggles below to explore the image preview options for different layouts!

Carousel


For the Carousel layout, you can choose from different aspect ratios for your previews. To maintain the original proportions, select Original in the Photo Aspect Ratio setting:

Grid, Thumbnails, and Slider


For the Grid, Thumbnails, and Slider layouts, you can customize:

  • Photo Ratio for your previews, such as Square (1:1), Standard (3:2), and others.
  • Photo Resize to either crop the image to fit the preview box (Crop) or keep the original proportions without cropping (Fit).

These settings can be found in the Layout tab → Customize section. Here's an example for the Grid layout:

Horizontal & Vertical Masonry


The Masonry layouts always display images in their original proportions, without cropping.

Horizontal Masonry arranges photos in horizontal rows, creating a smooth flow from left to right:

Vertical Masonry stacks photos in vertical columns, creating a staggered and uneven look down each column:

Panoramic


The Panoramic layout crops all previews to fit a panoramic format:

The Photo Gallery widget supports several image formats. These formats are suggested:

.jpeg .png .svg .gif .webp

To keep things running smoothly, there's a limit on how many images you can upload at once. Currently, you can upload up to 1,000 images per batch. If you need more, just repeat the process.

Each image can be up to 100 MB, but for seamless performance, we recommend uploading files under 1 MB. 🙂

The Photo Gallery widget supports Alt Tags, which help with accessibility and SEO. Here's how you can add an Alt Tag:

  1. Click on the uploaded image in the Photos tab:
  2. Enter your desired text in the Photo Alt Text field:

That’s it! Repeat the process for the other images, and you’ll have custom tags across your entire gallery.

We hope these tips help you optimize your image uploads and unlock the full potential of your Photo Gallery widget! 🚀
