Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Easy Justified Gallery is a responsive photo gallery that lays your images out in tidy, full width rows without cropping them, the way photo sites do it. It does that one thing and nothing else. No upsells, no ads, no dashboard banners, no tracking.

Fast by design

5 KB of JavaScript and CSS, and none of it is jQuery. Rows are worked out from the image dimensions WordPress already stores, so the layout is correct before a single image has downloaded and nothing jumps around as they arrive. Images load lazily, at the size they are actually displayed, using the srcset WordPress generates.

Assets load only on pages that really contain a gallery. A page without one downloads nothing at all, and a gallery that opens images in a new tab never downloads the lightbox.

Features

  • A gallery block for the block editor, with a live preview of the real thing
  • As many galleries as you like, each with its own images and settings
  • Reuse one gallery on any number of pages. Edit it once, every page updates
  • Rows justified from image aspect ratios, never cropped, never distorted
  • Captions off, on hover, or always visible, taken from the media library caption and falling back to alt text
  • A modern lightbox with pinch zoom, swipe, and keyboard navigation
  • Per gallery row height and spacing, overridable per placement
  • No jQuery, no frameworks, no build artefacts you did not ask for
  • Works with the block editor, the classic editor, widgets, and do_shortcode()

Blocks or shortcodes, your choice

Add the “Justified Gallery” block and pick a saved gallery, or choose images right inside the block. Prefer shortcodes? x.
