Masonry, filter or lightbox
A gallery lets the work speak, for photographers, venues, craftspeople and shops. The seven layouts here take your own img or picture elements, so loading, sizes and alt text stay in your hands, and fit each one into its frame without distortion.
Masonry suits photos of mixed formats. Grid with filter helps when there are categories such as kitchens, bathrooms and gardens. Carousel and Horizontal scroll show a series in little height. Lightbox opens each picture large with arrow keys and Escape. Featured with thumbnails fits a product or a property, Before and after compares two states with a slider that also works with the keyboard.
Pick fewer, better pictures, twelve strong ones say more than sixty. Use the same light and crop across a series. Export images in the size they are shown, aiw media optimize writes AVIF and WebP in four widths for you.

Accessibility
Read from the source of the component.
- Gallery handles the keys Arrow left, Arrow right, Home, End and Space itself.
- Built on the native dialog element. The browser keeps focus inside and closes it with Escape.
- Sets aria-current, aria-haspopup, aria-label, aria-live, aria-pressed, aria-roledescription and aria-valuetext, so screen readers announce purpose and state.
- Uses the roles group and region.
- Announces changes through a live region without moving focus.
- Adds text for screen readers where icons and graphics stand alone.
- Shows a visible focus ring when used with the keyboard.
- The server renders the starting state in full, JavaScript only adds the interaction.
Motion
- Rises in briefly the first time it comes into view (kit-rise, useInView).
- Brings animations of its own, calmly timed and without wobble.
- With reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion) it stays still. 11 places in the code switch motion off then.
