Wix Pro Gallery: Adding and Setting Up Your Gallery

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.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more.
Can I restore a previous version of my pro gallery?
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.
Can I add a title to my pro galleries on my live site?
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.
What happens if I have several pro galleries on one of my site pages?
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.
What media can I add to my gallery?
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.
Where can I find more information about Wix Pro Gallery?
This glossary contains a comprehensive list of the settings available to help you customize your gallery.
Can I hide an item from the pro gallery without deleting it?
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.
What if I want to add single images, videos or display a portfolio?
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.
How can I allow visitors to zoom in on gallery items?
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.
Can I organize gallery items into categories or collections?
