Grid Gallery – for Photo Gallery, Image Gallery & Portfolio vs Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery

Do you want to show your images in a clean grid? This plugin helps you create a stunning Photo Gallery, Image Gallery, or design Portfolio. It is fully integrated with a native Gutenberg Block and a dedicated Elementor Widget, allowing you to insert and customize your grids directly within your preferred editor without copying and pasting shortcodes. Showcase your photographs, design projects, and business assets with high-performance grids. Traditional galleries use pop-ups that hurt user experience.
