Modula is a flexible and user-friendly WordPress gallery plugin that makes it easy to create beautiful image grids and galleries. One standout feature is the “gutter” setting, which controls the space between your images, helping you fine-tune the look and feel of your galleries.
What is the Gutter Setting?
The gutter setting in Modula refers to the spacing between images within your galleries. This setting allows you to control the padding around each image in your grid or gallery, influencing the overall visual aesthetic of your presentation.
By adjusting the gutter, you can achieve different effects, from tightly packed images for a modern, seamless look to spaced-out images for a more relaxed and organized appearance.
How Does it Work?
The gutter setting is essentially the margin or padding between individual images in your gallery. When you increase the gutter, you are adding more space around each image. Conversely, decreasing the gutter reduces the space between images, causing them to appear closer to each other.
Demos:
A gallery that has the “Gutter” Setting set to 0px (no space between images).
A gallery that has the “Gutter” setting set to 20px.
Adjusting the Gutter Setting
Modula provides a user-friendly interface for adjusting the gutter setting.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Understanding the gutter setting in Modula allows you to fine-tune the spacing between images, providing greater control over the visual presentation of your galleries. Experiment with different gutter values to achieve the desired balance between image proximity and overall aesthetic appeal.
