Photo galleries on your website.

Poper's photo gallery widget ships eleven layouts, and the right one depends on the content. Grid shows uniform thumbnails in a fixed column count, the safe default for product shots or evenly sized images. Masonry packs photos into a Pinterest-style waterfall that keeps tall and wide images at their natural proportion. Carousel is a swipeable horizontal slider for a hero or a highlight reel. Lightbox First is a minimal grid built to push visitors straight into the popup. Justified fills each row to the full width by adjusting heights so rows end flush. Collage arranges photos into an artistic patterned layout. Split View shows a large photo with a thumbnail rail. Timeline lays photos out as a chronological sequence. Stacked, Scroll, and Full Bleed each give a different storytelling rhythm, from layered cards to smooth vertical scrolling to immersive edge-to-edge images. You can switch between all eleven in the dashboard through the normal publish flow, so it is worth trying a few against your real photos.

Every gallery has to answer one question: what happens when a visitor clicks a photo. Poper's widget lets you choose. Set the click action to open a lightbox popup and clicking a photo expands it full screen, with the photo's title and description shown alongside it, so visitors can inspect a shot closely without leaving the page. Set the click action to follow the link instead and each photo becomes a link to a URL you set on it, which is useful when each image should lead somewhere, such as a product page or a case study. Pick the behavior that matches the job: a portfolio usually wants the lightbox, while a gallery of product tiles often wants links.

A gallery with more than a dozen photos benefits from structure. Poper's widget lets you tag each photo with a category and manage the list of category names. When the category filter is shown, the gallery displays a row of filter chips so a visitor can narrow it down to a single group: a real estate listing can separate interior, exterior, and neighborhood; a restaurant can separate plates from ambience; a photographer can separate weddings from portraits. Filtering happens on the page without a reload. Categories are optional, so a small gallery can skip them entirely and show every photo at once.

The Style and Settings tabs keep the gallery looking like part of your site. You set the background and text colors, the corner radius on the photos, whether photos carry a drop shadow, and a hover effect such as a zoom on mouse-over. Layout-specific controls cover the column count and the spacing between photos. If you want to mark your images, the watermark setting overlays text or an image across each photo with an opacity control, which photographers and illustrators often use on public-facing galleries. None of this requires writing CSS: every option is a dashboard control.

A photo gallery widget and a social feed widget look similar at a glance but solve different problems. A social feed widget pulls images from an account on a platform such as Instagram or Pinterest, and the photos, captions, and links point back to that platform. Use a social feed when your audience already follows you there and you want to surface that activity on your site. A photo gallery widget shows photos you upload directly, with your own titles, descriptions, categories, and links. Use a photo gallery when you own the photos and want full control over how they are organized and what happens when a visitor clicks them. Myour sites use both: the gallery as the curated portfolio and the feed as a live social rail.
