  3. 3.Adjust the layout options that appear.
  4. 4.Publish.

Full walkthrough with screens below.

A ceremony and a reception don't want the same grid. Layout is a per-section decision, so the gallery can change pace the way the day did.

The seven layouts

  1. 1Classic — an even grid. Safe for large mixed sections.
  2. 2Editorial — one feature frame with supporting stills. Best for a first look.
  3. 3Mosaic — varied tile sizes for texture-heavy detail sections.
  4. 4Filmstrip — horizontal scroll; good for a short sequence.
  5. 5Vertical Story — full-width 9:16 stack, built for phone-shot clips.
  6. 6Cinematic Reel — one clip at a time, letterboxed, for hero video.
  7. 7Chapters — titled sub-groups inside one long section.

Choosing quickly

If a section is mostly vertical video, use Vertical Story or Cinematic Reel. If it's mostly stills, use Editorial for the story beats and Mosaic for texture. Use Chapters when a section grew past about twenty items.

Common mistakes

  • Using one layout for every section.
  • Putting horizontal footage in Vertical Story.

Pro tips

  • Alternate dense and airy layouts so the gallery breathes as you scroll.
  • Cinematic Reel is strongest with three to five clips, not thirty.

Best practices

  • 1Open with Editorial, close with Cinematic Reel.
  • 2Recheck each layout on a phone before publishing.
