The Gallery block is a UniLink block that allows you to display a grid of images directly on your page, giving visitors a visual overview of your work, products, or portfolio.
What is the Gallery Block?
The Gallery block transforms your UniLink page into a visual portfolio or lookbook. Unlike the Slider block, which shows one image at a time, the Gallery block displays multiple images in a grid format so visitors can see everything at once. It is ideal for photographers, designers, artists, fashion brands, restaurants, and anyone whose work is best communicated visually. A well-curated gallery immediately establishes credibility and sparks interest from new visitors.
How to Add the Gallery Block to Your Page

- Click the Add Block button (+)
- Search for or scroll to find Gallery
- Click to add it to your page
How to Configure the Gallery Block
The Gallery block gives you control over how your images are arranged and displayed:
- Upload Images — Add as many images as you want to include in your gallery. You can upload photos, product shots, artwork, or any visuals relevant to your brand.
- Section Heading — Add an optional title above the gallery such as "My Work," "Latest Collection," or "Recent Projects."
- Grid Columns — Choose how many columns to use in the grid layout. Two or three columns work well on mobile, while three or four can look great on wider screens.
- Image Spacing — Adjust the gap between images to create a tight mosaic look or a more airy, spacious layout.
- Clickable Images — Make gallery images clickable so visitors can tap on an image to view it in full size or navigate to a linked URL.
- Caption Text — Add optional captions to individual images to provide titles, descriptions, or context for each photo.
Best Practices for the Gallery Block
- Use high-quality images with consistent lighting, composition, and color treatment to create a cohesive, professional gallery.
- Stick to a consistent aspect ratio for all gallery images, such as square or portrait, to keep the grid visually uniform.
- Curate your gallery to show only your best work. Ten strong images make a better impression than thirty average ones.
- Compress images before uploading to reduce load times. Large unoptimized images can significantly slow down your page.
- Update the gallery regularly with fresh content to give returning visitors a reason to stay engaged with your page.
