Transform any gallery into a full-screen slideshow with thumbnails, auto-play, keyboard navigation, and touch swipe support. Perfect for immersive portfolio presentations.
All Features
What You Get
AJAX Lazy Loading
Slides load on-demand via AJAX, so 500-image galleries run without memory issues. Customize max slides, effects, and ordering per gallery.
Five Thumbnail Positions
Position the thumbnail strip at the bottom, top, left, right, or hide it entirely for a pure image view. Each layout fits different brand styles.
Full-Screen Presentation
Full-screen slideshow with centered main image and thumbnail strip. Visitors see your work large and uncluttered, the way it was meant to be shown.
Fit or Fill Scaling
Choose between fit mode (letterbox, shows the full image) and fill mode (crop, fills the frame). Photographers often prefer fit to respect composition, agencies often prefer fill.
Auto-Play Control
Auto-Play Control
Auto-start on load with a configurable pause interval between slides. Visitors see a rotating showcase without clicking. Pause and resume via space bar.
Keyboard and Touch Navigation
Arrow keys, space bar pause, escape to exit, plus touch swipe on mobile. Works naturally on every device without extra setup.

Can I position the thumbnails on the side?

Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Touch swipe navigation is built in, thumbnails scale responsively, and keyboard shortcuts still work when a physical keyboard is attached.

What effects are supported?
Fade and slide transitions are built in. The plugin reads the effect parameter from the slideshow config and applies it per slide.
-
How does it handle large galleries?
AJAX lazy-loading streams slides on-demand, so the first load is fast even for galleries with hundreds of files. You can also cap the total slide count per slideshow.
