Add category filters so visitors sort your work themselves, photography, branding, web design, whatever categories fit your projects. Show or hide the filter menu entirely, your choice. ![Filterable by Category](https://skybootstrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/filter-by-category.gif) Two Looks, One Gallery ![Grid Layout](https://skybootstrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/grid-layout.webp) Every Image Tells a Story ### Masonry & Grid Layouts Masonry for an organic, Pinterest-style flow, or grid for clean, even rows. Switch between them without rebuilding anything. Adjust columns and gutter spacing to match your site’s width and your images’ proportions. ### Lightbox & Captions Click an image, and it opens in a clean lightbox view, no page reload, no losing your place in the gallery. Add captions to give each piece context, and fine-tune the lightbox behavior in Settings. ![Lightbox & Captions](https://skybootstrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/lightbox.gif) A Professional Finish, Not a Default Look ![Hover & Overlay Effects](https://skybootstrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/hover-and-overlay-effects.gif) Built Inside Elementor, Not Bolted On ### Hover & Overlay Effects Directional hover effects, gradient overlays, zoom, the small details that separate a real portfolio from a plain image grid.
