Gallery Layouts
Blende allows you to display your images in various gallery layouts, each offering a different aesthetic and user experience.
Available Gallery Layouts
Blende supports the following gallery layouts:
-
Grid: A classic, uniform grid where all images are displayed in equally sized cells. This layout is ideal for collections where you want a clean, organized look and consistent image sizes.
Best for: Portfolios, event highlights, and any gallery where uniformity is important. -
Masonry: A Pinterest-style layout that preserves the original aspect ratio of each image, stacking them in columns of varying heights. This layout is perfect for galleries with images of different orientations and sizes, as it minimizes empty space and creates a dynamic, flowing look.
Best for: Storytelling, travel, and galleries with a mix of portrait and landscape images. -
Justified: An edge-to-edge layout where images are arranged in rows of consistent height, but their widths vary to fill the row. This creates a visually balanced gallery with straight edges on both sides, similar to professional photo sites.
Best for: Showcasing series of images, editorial work, or any gallery where you want a polished, magazine-style appearance.
