Finding the settings you need

There are two main areas where you can adjust different gallery settings: 
  • The Pro Gallery settings panel
  • The Inspector panel

The Settings panel

The Settings panel lets you adjust your gallery's design and functionality. You can choose a layout that suits your images, decide what happens when clicking on an item, add animations and much more.

The Inspector panel

From the Inspector panel, you can adjust your gallery's size, position and behavior across breakpoints. These settings can help to ensure your gallery is responsive and looks great in every screen size.

There are many different ways to ensure your gallery is responsive to all screen sizes. Read below to choose the best method for your design needs.

Check the gallery's size, docking and margins

You can show the same gallery layout on all screen sizes. We recommend using a fluid measurement (e.g. %, vh, vw) to set the size of your Pro gallery, so it resizes automatically and in relation to your visitor's screen. 
Tip:
It is not possible to adjust your gallery's height when:
  • Your gallery is set to scroll vertically. 
  • Your gallery is horizontal with a fixed ratio.

You can change these settings from the Layout tab in the gallery's Settings panel.

Still in the Inspector panel, check the docking and margins of your gallery on every breakpoint. If these settings don't fit a smaller screen, your gallery might only appear partially or not at all. You can make these settings relative to the screen using fluid measurements (e.g. %).

You can stretch a gallery across a section so it automatically adjusts to different screen sizes. This means you don't have to worry about sizing, docking and margins.

Use different layouts

Pro Gallery offers many different layouts - some are more minimal and others suit larger screens better. You can choose a layout for each of your breakpoints so the gallery always fits your visitor's screen.
