Showcase
We made up 22 businesses and designed each one a gallery.
A wedding studio, a potter, a parish, a dive crew. Each card names the Modula layout and features behind it, so you can copy the setup.
02
Custom grid







“…the creative freedom offered by the custom grid feature really sets it apart from other photo gallery plug-ins.”

Layouts
Every layout you need.
Masonry, justified, polaroid, story, slider and nine more. Change your mind later and switch: same photos, same gallery, new layout.

“Finally, a gallery plugin that doesn’t turn my website into a crawling mess. My clients’ sites look incredible now.”

I’ve tested most of the gallery solutions that claim to be ‘fast and flexible.’ Modula actually delivers on both — lightning-fast, adapts across every device, and their support genuinely knows their stuff. Rare in this space.

This has a very nice balance of features/ease of use. The options available are very well thought out, and the galleries look terrific. I especially like the various Lightbox options built in. Saves me from having to graft a preferred lightbox on via functions. All in all, excellent performance, value and presentation.

Great features and beautiful layout. I tried many plugins, many looked good and many worked just as good but I was looking for a specific feel and I found it. Easy to use and beautiful results

There is a lot of gallery plugins but for some reason, they are not 100% masonry – they layout the photos often in an ugly way, and not at an even height. This plugin makes a perfect masonry, what is the main reason I use it.

Modula has a immense depth of customization options, but for me, the creative freedom offered by the custom grid feature really sets it apart from other photo gallery plug-ins. The support team was able to solve the major technical issues I had, and I’m really happy with the results =)

I downloaded the free version of this while changing over some photo galleries that were previously in sliders. The output is amazing and my site looks so much better. I ended up purchasing a license to I can use more than 20 images. Great product; I look forward to exploring more options with it.

Our website consists almost exclusively of images grouped into modula galleries. We like the flexibility arranging the images and the speed when viewing the galleries. Modula support is also very fast and helpful. Gunther

I’m a new WP user. I evaluated a number of gallery plugins and found Modula to be the best of the group. Its functionality and flexibility are outstanding, especially the custom grid feature. Their support was also exemplary in helping me address a setup issue. A five star rating is easily justified.

Need a gallery plugin for my blog since I have a lot of pictures. Not only did it deliver the type of design I was looking for but gave me the flexibility to change certain items around without have to pay for the Premium version. Would highly recommend it.

I have used many similar plugins in the past for creating custom galleries but I believe that Modula is the best in the market currently! Specially for those who wish to create custom mosaic galleries! It has also great support and they helped me whenever I asked their help.

As an amateur panda photographer, I really appreciate how easy it is to use Modula’s drag and drop features. I love the integration of ShortPixel, lightbox, alt text, custom grid and all the features. I’ve made a review video at: Frances

After playing around with this plugin for a few hours, I managed to display the gallery exactly as I wanted it. The free version is already very powerful and with enough resources to create a simple gallery with many different layouts. Kudos to the developers.
