lightGallery is a customizable, modular, dependency-free JavaScript lightbox gallery plugin for displaying images and videos on the web and mobile. It ships with official components for React, Vue.js, and Angular, and supports YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, and HTML5 video.
Use cases
- add a lightbox image gallery to a website
- display YouTube and Vimeo videos in a lightbox overlay
- showcase a photo gallery with animated thumbnails and zoom
- build a responsive touch-friendly gallery for mobile devices
- embed a gallery component in a React, Vue, or Angular app
- create an inline or dynamic gallery with deep linking support
When to choose
- you need a feature-rich lightbox with zoom, thumbnails, fullscreen, and video support
- you want framework components for React, Vue, or Angular
- you need a zero-dependency, modular plugin where you only include the features you use
- mobile/touch optimization and accessibility matter for your gallery
When to avoid
- you need a simple slider/carousel rather than a lightbox overlay
- your project requires a permissive license (lightGallery is GPLv3 with commercial licensing)
- you want a fully server-rendered or static gallery without JavaScript
