A tiled alternative for photo stories

Polaroid gives the collection a framed-photo feel. If you prefer varied image tiles without that framing, try the Mosaic PRO demo and use favourite stars to influence the larger tiles.

Post Query Gallery

You can add galleries from datasources, one of which is a Post Query, so you can populate your gallery with featured images from your posts.

Product Gallery

Display ecommerce products in a dedicated gallery layout.

Sale Ribbons and Buttons

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about FooGallery’s Polaroid Gallery.

Polaroid PRO requires FooGallery PRO Starter or higher. For a free layout with captions below each image, try Simple Portfolio; it does not use the tilted Polaroid frames. Compare plans for the full feature list.

Add text to your images in the Media Library or the gallery’s Manage Items panel, then choose the title source in Captions settings. This demo uses image titles below the photos. If text is missing, check that the selected source field contains text. Polaroid does not show a separate description beneath each title. See the caption settings guide for source options.

Polaroid uses cropped thumbnails; this demo uses 250 by 200 pixels. If your subject is cut off, try different thumbnail dimensions and preview the result. Clicking a photo in the demo opens the full-size image in FooBox. See the Polaroid layout settings.

The cards wrap to fit the available width, with captions below them. The device preview lets desktop visitors inspect a narrower layout. It does not simulate touch: check the published page on a phone too, especially image taps and long captions.

This feature styles a gallery on your WordPress page. It does not export the framed cards as new image files or create printable Polaroid photos. See the live gallery for the on-page effect.

The tilted frames and straightening effect are part of the Polaroid template. Move the pointer away and the frame tilts again. Captions stay below the photo, so visitors can read them without hovering. Try it in the demo; a phone-width preview on a desktop still uses your mouse.
