Image gallery

To create an image gallery, use the "Text & Media" element with multiple images (at least 2) and the "Enlarge on click" feature.

Prepare images for the website

Images must be prepared before uploading them to the website:

  • Do not upload images directly from the camera to the website or the website's file system.
  • Edit the images in advance using image editing software (e.g., Photoshop):
    • Change the file names.
    • Reduce the image size to the dimensions in which they will be displayed on the website.
  • Use only image file formats such as jpg/jpeg, gif, png, svg, or webp.
  • Ensure that images have the same width and height if they are to be inserted into the same content element before uploading them to the website's filelist.
  • For layouts with a right column, the maximum width for images is 936 pixels; for layouts without a right column, the maximum width is 1176 pixels.

Create content element "Text&Media"
