Wisp Gallery

Wisp Gallery is a gallery plugin for WordPress site owners who show photos or portfolios, and for designers and agencies building client sites with the block editor.

How it works: add the Filterable Gallery block, choose images, post queries or media queries, and pick a layout. A separate Gallery Filter block lets visitors filter by Gallery Categories; filter changes animate with View Transitions.

Features:
- Five layouts: masonry, justified rows, grid, carousel and accordion, with columns, row height and aspect ratio per device
- Gallery Filter block: buttons or a dropdown, counts, multi-select
- Gallery Categories for images, posts and pages, mixed in one gallery
- Native <dialog> lightbox with swipe, keyboard and captions; reveal-on-scroll effects without JavaScript
- About 3 KB of JavaScript to start, no jQuery, no dependencies (core blocks + Interactivity API)
- Free importers from Envira Gallery, NextGEN Gallery, Modula and FooGallery, with replacement shortcodes
- Patterns, a Gallery Categories archive template, commands and Abilities API support
- Translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch and Portuguese (Brazil)

Pricing: the complete plugin is free forever on wordpress.org, with no ads. Wisp Gallery Pro (from $2.99/month) adds videos (Media Library, YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram), load more, albums and WooCommerce products in the lightbox. Galleries keep working if a Pro license lapses.
