FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about layouts in the Pro Gallery:
Is the Wix Pro Gallery responsive?
Your Wix Pro Gallery behaves responsively when you choose certain layouts and set it to
Full Width. This means that the position of your gallery items and their size may change when the browser window is resized across all devices.
Learn more about responsiveness in the Wix Pro GalleryWhy are some of my images cropped when added to the Wix Pro Gallery?
You may notice that your gallery images appear cropped, depending on the
Custom layout you choose. This can happen when the orientation of the thumbnails in a layout is different from those of the images you upload.
For example, you select a Column layout, which displays all images in portrait (vertical) orientation, but upload images with a landscape (horizontal) orientation. This means part of your image may be cropped to ensure it fits within the thumbnail's boundaries.
To prevent your images from being cropped:
- Click the Wix Pro Gallery in your Editor.
- Click Settings.
- Click the Layout tab.
- Click Customize Layout.
- Select Fit below Thumbnail resize.
Additional options when keeping your images cropped:
- Adjust the focal point of your images to better control the parts of your images that may be cropped.
- Adjust the image ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16) applied to your gallery to best match the ratio and orientation of your uploaded images.
