AI-Powered Carousel, Slider, Video & Photo Gallery Blocks by WP Carousel
WP Carousel builds carousels, 3D carousels, sliders, slideshows, grids and photo galleries right in the WordPress block editor, from your images, posts, WooCommerce products and YouTube or Vimeo videos. Start from a ready-made pattern, describe what you want to the AI builder, or design your own, and style it without code. It’s fast by default: images lazy-load, and no WP Carousel script or style loads on a page without a carousel. 200+ Gutenberg Patterns | Video Tutorials | Documentation | Support 10 Gutenberg Blocks Carousel: several items in a row, with center mode and Slide, Flip, or Cube effects. 3D Carousel: a Coverflow carousel in 3D, with the center slide in front, and the side slides turned away. Set how many side slides show on each device. Slider: one full-width slide at a time, in Slide, Flip, Cube, or Coverflow style, for hero slideshows and featured content. Thumbnails Slider: a main slider with a synced strip of thumbnails to browse. Tiles: a bento-style grid of mixed-size tiles, in three free layouts, with numbered pages for big galleries. Grid: an even grid of columns, set per device, with numbered pages for big galleries. Marquee (Pro): a continuously scrolling, ticker-style row of items. Panorama Carousel (Pro): a curved, panoramic carousel with a wide, immersive view. Masonry (Pro): a Pinterest-style grid of varying item heights. Justified (Pro): an image gallery with even row heights, filled edge to edge. Start in seconds Ready Patterns: insert a pre-designed carousel or gallery in one click, then make it yours. Build with AI: describe the carousel you want, and the AI builder picks a matching pattern or sets the block up for you. Use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Groq key, or WordPress Connectors. Saved Templates: save a design once and reuse it on any page, in widgets or in page builders, with its own shortcode. Convert a Gallery block: turn a core Image or Gallery block into a WP Carousel block, and switch between WP Carousel blocks without losing your content or settings. Classic builder: prefer shortcodes? The classic carousel builder with live preview is still here, with its Grid layout. A few options that are free in the blocks are Pro in the classic builder. Show any content Images from the Media Library, in any order. Edit titles, captions, descriptions and alt text without leaving the carousel, one by one or in bulk, and set a focal point so cropped images keep what matters. Posts, pages and custom post types, including several post types in one carousel. Order them by date, title, menu order, comment count or at random, skip the first few, and set how many to show. WooCommerce products with image, name, price, star rating and Add to Cart. In the classic builder, add a Quick View button with the free Quick View for WooCommerce plugin. YouTube and Vimeo videos, each with your own thumbnail if you like, playing in a popup.

Navigation arrows in 12 styles, and pagination in Dots, Dynamic, or Stepper style. Touch swipe, mouse drag, mouse wheel, free scroll, and keyboard navigation. How many slides move per click, set per device. Lightbox Open images and videos in a popup gallery, with a light, dark or custom theme, open and slide animations, an item counter, and a thumbnails strip. One set of settings covers every lightbox on your site. Design without code 6 Skins: Classic, Overlay and Diagonal, or show the text only on hover. Choose what each card shows: title, description, meta (date, author, comments, category, tags), category badges, a read-more button, price, rating, and share buttons for 14 networks. Hover animations, image overlays, typography with Google Fonts, and colors, borders, radius, and shadows for every part. Custom CSS for one block, or site-wide custom CSS and JavaScript. Fast, accessible and search-friendly Lazy-loaded images, a choice of image size for each carousel, and aspect-ratio presets (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9 and more). Query caching for post and product carousels, cleared automatically when your content changes. No WP Carousel script or style on pages without a carousel, and switches to turn off Swiper or Font Awesome when your theme already loads them. Alt text on every image, a heading tag (H1 to H6) for card titles, and keyboard navigation. Responsive Set columns and spacing for desktop, tablet, and mobile, hide a carousel on any device size, and set your own breakpoints for classic carousels. Works with your site Page builders: native widgets and modules for Elementor, Divi 4 and Divi 5, WPBakery, Oxygen, Beaver Builder and Bricks. The shortcode works in any other builder. Multilingual: ready for WPML and Polylang, with translated image titles and alt text. Multisite: works across a WordPress multisite network.

Each one is used only by the feature named, and only after you use that feature. AI builder (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq), only with your own key The AI builder does nothing until you add an API key for one of these providers in Settings → AI Configuration, or connect one through WordPress Connectors. When you save a key, the plugin checks it with that provider. When you use Build with AI or Refine with AI, it sends the provider you picked your request text, the block type and the block’s current values for the options the AI can change, with the plugin’s own instructions. Your carousel’s images, posts and products are not sent.

Ready Patterns (WP Carousel pattern server) The pattern library loads its list, previews and each pattern you insert from demo.wpcarousel.io, and caches the list for a day. No personal data is sent; like every WordPress request, it carries your WordPress version and site address. An inserted pattern’s sample images load from the same server until you replace them with your own. Privacy Policy, Terms. Google Fonts If you pick a Google font in a block’s or template’s typography settings, that page loads the font from fonts.googleapis.com, which receives the visitor’s IP address. Pages without a Google font load nothing from Google. Terms, Privacy Policy.
