Add an Image Gallery in Weebly website

Weebly gallery element lets you display as many images as you’d like, in a click-to-see-a-larger-version (lightbox) grid format that you control.

In order to add a gallery, drag the Gallery element to a page to get started.

Then click the Upload Images button that appears in the element. After that, either drag images into the box or click the big green Upload Photos button.

This will let you select images from your computer to upload. You can select multiple images by holding the CTRL key on a PC or the Command key on a Mac. If you have trouble uploading images, we’d recommend limiting the number you upload to no more than 50 or so at a time. You can always add more images later.

Give the photos a few moments to upload and then you’ll see your Weebly gallery on the page.

Each image in the gallery automatically links to a larger version of the image. You can also link an image elsewhere, let’s say another external website or page if you like or add a caption that will appear on the enlarged version of an image. Click on the gallery to see these options.

You may click on thumbnails and drag them around to rearrange images within the gallery. Here, the gallery’s toolbox enables you to make additional changes.

• Add Images: There’s no limit, but we recommend uploading no more than 100 images to any gallery so as to not overwhelm your visitors or slow down your website.
• Determine the number of Columns you want. The default is 3, but you can use from 2 to 6.
• Select the amount of Spacing to place between each image.
• Adjust Caption settings and placement.
• And with Advanced, choose if you want a border around each thumbnail or not. And select if you want to crop the thumbnails to either squares or rectangles. This cropping has no impact on the enlarged images, it only changes the look of the thumbnails to make the gallery look more uniform.
