How Do I Create a Gallery in Shopify?

Last updated on January 8, 2023 @ 9:18 am

There are a few different ways that you can go about creating a gallery in Shopify. One way is to use the built-in gallery feature that is available with Shopify.

Another way is to use a third-party app or plugin. And lastly, you can also manually create a gallery using HTML and CSS. Let’s take a look at each of these methods in more detail.

Using the Built-in Gallery Feature

Shopify comes with a built-in gallery feature that you can use to create a gallery for your store. To use this feature, you’ll need to go to the Settings page of your Shopify admin and click on the Files link. On the Files page, you’ll see an option to add a new image, video, or file. Click on the Add image button and select the images that you want to upload to your gallery. Once you’ve selected the images, click on the Save changes button.

Now that you’ve added the images to your Shopify account, you can go to the Pages link in the Settings section of your admin and click on the Add page button.

On the Create page, select “Gallery”. You’ll see a list of all the images that you’ve added to your Shopify account. Select the images that you want to include in your gallery and click on the “Add Selected Images”. Once you’ve added all the images that you want, click on the Save page. Your gallery will now be created and will be accessible from your store’s navigation.

Using a Third-Party App or Plugin

If you want more control over how your gallery looks and functions, you can use a third-party app or plugin. There are many different apps and plugins available, so be sure to do your research to find one that best suits your needs. Once you’ve found an app or plugin that you want to use, follow their instructions for setting it up.

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to create a gallery, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, make sure that you have the correct dimensions for your images. If your images are too small, they may not look good in the gallery. Second, make sure that you have enough space on your server to host the gallery. If you do not have enough space, your gallery may not load properly or may even crash.

Manually Creating a Gallery Using HTML and CSS

If you’re comfortable working with HTML and CSS, you can manually create a gallery for your store. To do this, you’ll first need to create a new page in your Shopify admin.com/en/manual/using-themes/change-the-layout/add-a-gallery-page”>Create page, select “Page”. Give your page a title and then click on the “HTML” button in the rich text editor.
Paste in the following code:

 <style>  
     .row {  
          display: -ms-flexbox; /* IE10 */  
          display: flex;  
          -ms-flex-wrap: wrap; /* IE10 */  
          flex-wrap: wrap;  
          padding: 0 4px;  
       }  

 /* Create four equal columns that sits next to each other */  
       .column {  
          -ms flex: 25%; /* IE10 */  
          flex: 25%;  
          max width: 25%;  
          padding: 0 4px;  
       }  

.column img {  
          margin top: 8px;
    width 100%;
    border radius 8px;
   opacity 1;
    transition all 0 3s ease 0s;
    backface visibility hidden;
    transform origin left top 0;
}

     .column p {

}
