Drag-and-Drop Builder

Supersize Lightbox Images

WordPress automatically compresses and resizes your image, which reduces the quality of your photos. The Supersize feature allows you to display your images to the full dimensions of your visitor’s viewing window. That way, your visitors see the full-scale photo in your galleries without having to squint their eyes or change the size of the WordPress featured image

Social Addon

Social media is an opportunity to get your images in front of a new audience. The social addon allows your visitors to share your galleries on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. You can also choose how you want the social buttons displayed, like the bottom left corner of each photo.

Watermarking Addon

Image theft is a widespread issue on the internet, so the solution is to watermark your photos to identify your brand as the creator of the image. The watermark addon allows you to automatically place a watermark to all your uploaded images. You can also customize the watermark with a logo or copyright symbol to fit your brand style.

Albums Addon

Organizing your galleries can help your visitors find specific images. You can use this addon to create albums from your galleries, write descriptive gallery titles, and even show the number of images in each album. Albums are also displayed in a masonry-style format and can have their own unique URLs.

Pagination Addon

Pagination displays your image thumbnails on multiple pages to speed up your page load time and enhance the viewing experience for your visitors. This addon works well for galleries and albums with lots of photos. For instance, if you have a 200-photo album, you set a limit of 20 images per page.
