Why 3pika Gallery is the right gallery plugin for WordPress
If you are looking for a WordPress gallery plugin that is fast, easy to use and does not slow your site down, 3pika Gallery was built for exactly that. It creates filterable photo galleries by category, opens photos in a modern lightbox with swipe and keyboard navigation, and lays them out in 6 layouts: Grid, Masonry, Justified, Mosaic, List and Slider, with columns that adapt to tablets and phones automatically.
The design is yours
Everything is picked from visual previews, no code: 8 filter styles (buttons, pills, square, soft, outline, underline, text only, dropdown) with size, shadow and background/text colors, how filters behave on phones (rows, swipe, chips, 2 columns, list, dropdown), 10 hover effects with an optional icon (magnifier, plus, eye, expand, link) and a color overlay with your own color and opacity, rounded corners set for each corner separately, sorting by date, file name or caption.
Works with the editor you already use
Place a gallery as an Elementor widget, a WPBakery element, a Gutenberg block or a shortcode in any theme. No jQuery, assets load only on pages that contain a gallery, and the HTML is rendered on the server, so Google indexes your images and captions. The admin builder handles galleries with hundreds of photos: add from the Media Library, shift-select ranges, view by category, reorder with drag & drop.
Free for the basics, Premium when you need more
The free version covers Grid, Mosaic and List, filters, lightbox, responsive columns and pagination. Premium adds Masonry, Justified and Slider, YouTube/Vimeo/MP4 videos (also from the Media Library), multi-select filters, infinite scroll, lightbox zoom and slideshow, watermark, right-click protection and custom CSS. The license is activated with a key and updates arrive automatically in WordPress.
