Overview
Standard image grids force every item into the same size, which can look rigid when your pictures vary in shape. Divi Next Masonry Gallery arranges items in a masonry layout instead, so mixed proportions sit together in an organized way. You add and manage galleries inside the Divi Builder, which keeps the work in the same environment as the rest of your pages.
You can adjust the number of columns and the spacing, add hover effects and overlays, and show captions and titles on items. Visitors can filter by category or tag and open images in a full-screen lightbox. Photographers, designers and shops that rely on visuals will find it a practical fit for portfolios and product displays.
Features
- Built for the Divi Builder: Create and manage galleries directly inside the Divi Builder, so the gallery follows the same design workflow as the rest of your site.
- Responsive masonry layout: Galleries adapt to different screen sizes and orientations, so the masonry arrangement stays tidy on desktop, tablet and phone.
- Column and spacing controls: Set how many columns the gallery uses and adjust the spacing between items to match the style of your site.
- Hover effects and overlays: Add animations and overlays to gallery items so visitors get visual feedback when they move over an image.
- Filterable galleries: Let visitors sort gallery items by category or tag, which makes larger collections easier to browse.
- Lightbox viewing: Images open in a full-screen lightbox with transition effects, giving visitors a closer look at each piece of work.
- Captions and titles: Add titles and descriptive text to gallery items so each image comes with context for the visitor.
- Keyboard and screen reader support: Filter items can be reached with Tab and used with Enter or Space. The selected filter is announced to screen readers, and focus rings are clearly visible.
Best for
- Photographers building portfolio galleries on Divi
- Designers and agencies working in the Divi Builder
- Business owners displaying products or past projects visually
