What the author says it does

Photo gallery and portfolio plugin for WordPress

★★★★★

Visual Portfolio is a WordPress gallery plugin built around gallery and portfolio blocks. Use it for photo galleries, image galleries, video galleries, and albums. Pick masonry, justified, tiles, grid, slider, or carousel layouts.

See Live Demo | Documentation | GitHub

Keep it simple with a basic image gallery, or go further with nested galleries, filterable portfolio grids, post grids, and taxonomy grids. Add images, choose a layout, then tweak skins and the lightbox. You do not need to write code.

🏆 Visual Gallery Builder

Build gallery and portfolio blocks without coding. Customize layouts visually with live preview in the editor.

Supported layouts: Masonry, Justified, Tiles, Grid, Slider, and Carousel. You get skins and the usual gallery controls in one place.

🚀 Optimized to be Fast as Native

Despite the rich functionality, the Visual Portfolio is optimized as much as possible, to be fast and lightweight.

Due to the modular code structure, all scripts and styles are loaded only when they are needed for the current page that displays your gallery. So, your pages will never load unused features.

Pictures are not loaded in the main thread due to lazy loading. Moreover, our plugin is compatible with third-party WebP providers and image optimization plugins.

The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.

Questions the author answers

Does Visual Portfolio has documentation?

Yes, our plugin has documentation to easily get started with galleries. Read it here – Visual Portfolio Documentation

What themes does Visual Portfolio support?

Visual Portfolio has been tested with many WordPress themes and supports all major WordPress themes. Since we follow WordPress’ plugin development guidelines, you can rest assured that Visual Portfolio galleries will work perfectly, no matter what theme you use. If you’ve installed Visual Portfolio and are facing issues, it might not be because of a theme incompatibility.

Do I have to remove other Gallery and Portfolio plugins if I install Visual Portfolio?

That is recommended. Visual Portfolio is designed to be an all in one Gallery and Portfolio plugin. If you use other Gallery plugins with Visual Portfolio on your website, not only will the performance of your website be negatively affected, but both plugins working together can produce unexpected conflicts or errors.

Are the galleries mobile friendly?

Yes, Visual Portfolio built with mobile optimization in mind. It will automatically fit your screen size, so you don’t need to worry about. Furthermore, we prepared lazy loading, which significantly increases page loading speed. Before making a decision, just check by yourself how Visual Portfolio works on mobile devices.

Can I upload multiple images at once?

Yes, you can batch upload entire photo galleries at one time thanks to WordPress media library functionality.

Is there pagination for photo galleries?

Yes, you can use 3 type of pagination when displaying photo galleries or posts. Choose the number of photos to display and select Paged, Load More or Infinite Loading pagination. Examples with all gallery pagination types are available on the Visual Portfolio website.
