Using the Pro Gallery

Wix Pro Gallery: Adding and Setting Up Your Gallery


The Wix Pro Gallery allows you to showcase your images, videos, and text all in one beautiful multimedia gallery. You can choose from multiple layouts and customize your gallery's design and settings. This tool helps you create a visually engaging experience for your visitors, making your content stand out.


For example, you're an interior designer looking to showcase your work. With the pro gallery, you can upload a mix of photos and videos that highlight different spaces you've designed and present it in a sleek layout. Then add text descriptions that detail the materials used or the design inspiration behind each project. You can even choose to have these descriptions always visible, or only appear on hover.

FAQs


Click a question below to learn more.


The pro gallery displays the latest saved version. Currently, it is not possible to restore your gallery to a previous version from the Site History tab.


Currently, it's not possible to add a title to your pro gallery. Galleries are automatically titled in chronological order, e.g., Pro Gallery 1, Pro Gallery 2, etc. These titles are not displayed on your live site. If this is something you'd like to see in the future, vote for that feature.


You will likely experience performance issues if you have several pro galleries on a single page. Galleries are optimized to showcase multiple media files at once.

We recommend having one gallery with several media items per page, as opposed to multiple galleries with less items. Having too many individual elements on a single page (even if the elements are identical) can affect site performance. Learn more about site performance.


You can add images, videos, or text to your gallery. If you want to display standalone images or videos, we recommend adding an image element, or a single video player. If you want to display a portfolio requiring individual galleries, we recommend using Wix Portfolio or dynamic pages.


This glossary contains a comprehensive list of the settings available to help you customize your gallery.


No. Currently it is not possible to hide an item from your pro gallery. You must delete the item from the gallery to no longer display it.


If you want to display single images or videos, we recommend adding an image element from the Add Panel, and adding Wix Video to your site. For displaying a portfolio of work requiring individual galleries, we recommend using Wix Portfolio or dynamic pages.


To allow visitors to zoom in on details in your gallery items, you need to set your gallery items to Open in Expand Mode. Then, customize the expand mode's Viewing Settings and display a magnifying glass on your gallery items.

Learn how to display a magnifying glass on your items in the expand mode.


No. Currently, it is not possible to organize gallery items into categories or collections in the pro gallery. If you want to organise your media into collections, we recommend using Wix Portfolio.


If you want to create a private gallery, you can add a pro gallery to a page on your site and password protect that page. Learn how to customize page permissions in the Wix Editor and in the Studio Editor.
