Drag & Drop Gallery Builder

Create a stunning image gallery in minutes, not hours. Our drag & drop gallery builder lets you upload photos, reorder images, and publish with just a few clicks.

No coding. No confusing settings. Just drag, drop, and your photo gallery is live.

Envira Gallery works perfectly with the Block Editor, Classic Editor, and shortcodes. Embed your image gallery on any page or post instantly.

Lightning-Fast Photo Gallery Performance

Speed matters. A slow gallery plugin will hurt your search rankings and frustrate your visitors.

That’s why Envira Gallery is built for speed from the ground up. Testing by WPBeginner confirmed Envira Gallery loads faster than any other photo gallery plugin.

Your image gallery will load fast on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Responsive Lightbox Display

Every photo gallery includes a built-in responsive lightbox that works beautifully on all devices. Visitors browse images in a gorgeous fullscreen overlay without leaving the page.

The lightbox includes:

• Multiple lightbox themes to match your site’s design
• Touch and swipe support for mobile galleries
• Keyboard navigation for desktop browsing
• Fullscreen mode for immersive gallery viewing
• Zoom capability for full-resolution images
• Slideshow autoplay with manual controls

Photo Albums to Organize Your Galleries

Got a lot of images? Use albums to group your photo galleries into organized collections. Choose cover photos for each album and let visitors browse your galleries their way.

Albums are perfect for:

• Wedding and event photographers with multiple shoots
• Real estate agents with property photo galleries
• Travel bloggers organizing galleries by destination
• Businesses showcasing products by category
• Schools organizing event photo galleries by year

Video Gallery Support

Go beyond photos. With the Video Gallery addon, embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, DailyMotion, Twitch, and self-hosted video directly in your gallery.

Mix photos and videos in the same gallery, or create dedicated video galleries. Every video plays inside the same beautiful lightbox your visitors already love.

Sell Your Photos with WooCommerce

Turn your photo gallery into a revenue stream. The WooCommerce integration lets you sell prints, digital downloads, and licensed images directly from your image gallery.

Visitors browse your gallery, click a photo they love, and purchase — all without leaving your site.
