Adding a gallery to your Elements website is easy, just drag and drop a folder of images (or video) into the Gallery Component. Watch the video to learn more.

How does the gallery element handle a folder of images that are in different aspect ratios? Do the thumbnails scale up the vertical images to match the horizontal images? Will there be a masonry gallery available in the future?

Elements will crop the images for the thumbnails to give the grid an ascetically pleasing and consistent look. If you wish to mix and match aspect ratios, we recommend building a custom layout/gallery with the Grid Component.
