Description

The gallery plugin that doesn’t fight back.

Modula is a WordPress image and photo gallery plugin used on 160,000+ sites. Build a responsive gallery or a portfolio: add your photos, pick a layout and publish, with no code. Modula 3.0 rebuilt the editor from scratch, and everything in the first part of this page is in the free plugin, including a connection to your own AI assistant.

Free: work on your galleries with your own AI

Modula includes an MCP connection at no cost. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex or any other client that supports MCP, then ask for what you want in plain words:

“Create a masonry gallery from these images in my Media Library.”
“Switch this gallery to a justified grid and give it some air.”
“Round the corners and add a hover effect.”
“Write custom CSS that makes the captions smaller on this gallery.”
“Write alt text for every image in this gallery.”

You stay in control of what it can reach:

You approve each connection on your own site, and you can make it read only.
The assistant works only with Modula galleries, media and Modula settings. Changes to WordPress settings, plugins, users, posts or pages are refused.
Recent activity shows what it did, and you can disconnect it at any time.

You use your own AI account. Modula adds no API key, credits or extra charge. Connect your AI assistant.

Free: better alt text, written by your AI

Ask your assistant to write alt text, titles, captions or descriptions for one image, one gallery or your whole Media Library. It looks at the image itself, not the filename, and writes in the language you ask for. Tell it to fill in only what’s missing, and your existing text stays as it is.

The text is saved on the image in your Media Library, so every gallery that uses the image gets it.

Prefer not to connect an assistant? Smart Captions writes titles, captions and alt text from inside Modula, using a Modula AI key and credits instead of your own AI account. How credits work.

A gallery editor that keeps up with you

Settings on the left, your gallery on the right, updating as you change things.
Every change saves itself. Undo, redo or go back to any earlier step.
Type a word to jump straight to the setting you need.
Preview your responsive gallery on tablet and phone, each with its own columns and breakpoints.
Edit each image’s alt text, title, caption and click behavior in the sidebar.

Seven free gallery layouts

Masonry: images keep their shape and stack into tidy columns.
Custom grid: resize and rearrange each image on a grid, with alignment guides, to build your own layout.
Justified grid: rows that fill the width, with each photo keeping its own shape.
Uniform grid: equal tiles in the shape you choose.
Fit grid: equal tiles, with each photo shown in full.
Creative: a tiled gallery. The Mosaic engine lays photos out in rows at their own proportions, with nothing cropped.
Polaroid: photos look like prints with a pin and a caption. You choose how much they tilt and shift.

Switch layouts whenever you like: same photos, same gallery. Add a content block to put your own text between the photos.

Motion

The Motion tab has 11 entrance animations, including Rise, Darkroom and Aperture, plus hover effects such as Zoom, Lift, Tilt, Spotlight and Pan. You see each one on your gallery as you pick it. One switch turns motion off on phones, and another setting turns it off for visitors who ask for less animation.

Style it your way

Frames, rounded corners, borders and shadows.
Titles and captions: where they sit, plus size, color and weight for desktop and mobile.
Gallery width in px or %.
Custom CSS with a real code field. Or click “Describe the change instead”, type what you want, and Modula AI writes CSS that stays inside that gallery.
A lightbox with arrows and keyboard navigation.
Sharing buttons for X, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest and email.

Built for speed and image SEO

Images load as people scroll, in sizes that match the layout.
Galleries load a small script first and the rest only when needed.
Schema.org markup for your galleries.
Gallery images added to the XML sitemaps from Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress.

Works with your site

Add a gallery with the block editor, the Classic Editor, a shortcode like [modula id="123"] or a PHP snippet. Modula also works with Elementor, Beaver Builder and Divi. Developers can list, convert and restore galleries from WP-CLI with wp modula gallery.

What Modula Pro adds

Everything above stays free. Compare Free and Pro or see what each plan includes:

Seven more layouts: Parallax, BnB, Story, Showcase, Freeform, Slider and Video gallery, with self-hosted videos and links from YouTube and Vimeo.
Albums: group galleries into a single listing.
Filters and pagination: a filter bar, page numbers, a Load more button or infinite scroll.
The full lightbox: titles, captions, thumbnails, sharing, downloads, loop, transitions, slideshow and lightbox zoom.
Protection: watermarks, password-protected galleries and Image Guardian, which blocks right-click and dragging, blurs images when visitors leave the tab and hides the real file address.
Client work: image proofing and comments on images.
Faster setup: Bulk edit, select multiple images, sort, Defaults and presets.
More sources: Content Galleries, Instagram, ZIP archives and server folders.
Speed Up: smaller, modern image files.
Whitelabel: replace Modula’s name and logo with your own brand.

With Pro, your AI assistant can also work with albums, presets and other Pro features.

External services

Galleries work without any of the services below. The plugin connects to them only in these cases.

Modula AI (ai.wpchill.com), run by WPChill. Used only when you use Smart Captions or “Describe the change instead”.

Smart Captions sends each image’s URL, your site’s URL and the language you chose.
If you claim a key from inside the plugin, it also sends your first and last name, email address, site URL and site name to create your account.
“Describe the change instead” sends what you typed, plus the gallery’s ID, layout, enabled features, style settings and current custom CSS.

Your AI assistant. If you connect one, what it reads on your site goes to that AI provider under its own terms. That can include gallery data, settings, image text and, when you ask it to look at images, the image files. You choose the provider and approve the connection.

MCP Adapter. The AI connection needs this separate plugin from WordPress.org. Modula can install it for you from wordpress.org when you ask it to.

Usage data (telemetry.wpchill.com). Sent only if you choose Enable Telemetry in the notice Modula shows you. It is anonymous usage data about how the plugin is used.

Notices and offers (wp-modula.com). The plugin requests admin notices and upgrade offers from https://wp-modula.com/wp-json/notification/v1/get and https://wp-modula.com/wp-json/upsells/v1/get. These requests include no gallery, image or user data.

Sharing buttons. If you turn them on, they send visitors to the service they pick, such as X or Facebook, only when they click.

Modula Gallery

Installation

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for “Modula”.
Click Install Now, then Activate.
Go to Modula > Galleries and click New gallery.
Add your images, pick a layout, then add the gallery to a page with the Modula Gallery block or its shortcode.

To install it by hand, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and choose the plugin’s zip file, or unzip it into /wp-content/plugins/ and activate Modula from the Plugins screen.

FAQ

Is the AI connection really free?: Yes. The MCP connection is in the free plugin and needs no Modula license, API key or credits. You use your own AI assistant, under whatever plan you have with its provider.
What do I need to connect an AI assistant?: WordPress 6.9 or newer and the free MCP Adapter plugin. Go to Modula > Settings > AI and follow the steps for your assistant. Signing in needs HTTPS on a live site, and a local site can use an application password instead. Multisite is not supported yet. Full guide.
Which galleries can an AI assistant edit?: Galleries made in the new editor. Classic galleries stay outside the connection until you convert them.
Can the assistant change the rest of my site?: No. It can work only with Modula galleries, albums, presets, media and Modula settings. Changes to WordPress settings, plugins, users, posts and pages are refused. You can also connect it as read only.
How do I write alt text with AI?: Connect your assistant, then ask it, for example: “Write alt text for the images in this gallery that don’t have any.” It looks at each image and saves the text in your Media Library. Your assistant needs to be able to view images sent through MCP. Smart Captions is the alternative if you’d rather use Modula AI credits.
What is the difference between AI assistants and Smart Captions?: AI assistants connect your own AI to Modula, at no cost from us, and can also build and edit galleries. Smart Captions runs from inside Modula, writes image text only and uses Modula AI credits.
Will my existing galleries keep working?: Yes. They keep working as they are. You can convert a gallery to the new editor at any time, alone or in bulk, and restore the classic version from the same list if you change your mind.
How do I show a Modula gallery?: Use the Modula Gallery block, or copy the shortcode and paste it where you want the gallery. This guide covers the options.
Can I move my old galleries to Modula?: Yes. If you use NextGEN, FooGallery, Envira, Final Tiles or Photoblocks, you can switch with our free migration plugins:
Migrate away from NextGEN Gallery
Migrate away from FooGallery
Migrate away from Envira Gallery
Migrate away from Final Tiles
Migrate away from Photoblocks Gallery
Is Modula a responsive gallery plugin?: Yes. Galleries adapt to the screen on their own. You can set the columns and breakpoints for tablets and phones, and preview them in the editor.
Can I build a portfolio or photography gallery?: Yes. Custom grid lets you resize images so your best work stands out, and you can add a title and caption to each photo. To protect your photos with watermarks or block right-click, you need Modula Pro.
Can I add videos to a gallery?: Yes, with Modula Pro. Use self-hosted videos or links from YouTube and Vimeo.
Can visitors filter a gallery?: Yes, with Modula Pro. Add filter labels to your images and visitors can narrow the gallery down by category.
Is image zoom included?: Hover effects, including Zoom, are free. Lightbox zoom, which magnifies a photo in the lightbox, comes with Modula Pro.
Why do some images look blurry?: Check the Image file size setting under Layout and pick a larger size. Also make sure the images you upload are large enough for the space they fill.
A gallery or some of its images don’t show. What can I do?: Check that the gallery ID in the shortcode is right, then clear your site and browser cache. Optimization tools can also get in the way: Modula shows a notice when SiteGround Optimizer or Avada lazy loading is active on your gallery images. If that doesn’t solve it, turn on the Debug log under Modula > Settings > Diagnostics and contact us.
Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?: Please report security bugs found in the source code of the Modula Image Gallery plugin through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify the developers of this plugin.

I have been using Modula Galleries on my professional illustrator and graphic designer website for years. Showing a large number of images in beautiful, responsive galleries is essential to my online presence, so I need galleries that are reliable, pull their image SEO information from the WordPress Media Library and can therefore be indexed, allow efficient bulk editing through a smooth interface, and offer plenty of advanced features. What I also appreciate is that the product is actively developed and continues to evolve. Customer service is excellent, and the development team is extremely proactive whenever an issue does arise. Five stars. I recommend Modula without hesitation.

wolfganghoesel October 13, 2026

I'm using Modula Pro. First of all, the product is user friendly and fullfills all requirements. I needed the product support twice so far. In both cases the response was fast and the problem could be resolved.

rachburns September 18, 2026

This has been generally easy to work with! And when my head isn't remembering some things, it's not hard at all to find what I'm looking for on Modula's site. I was looking for a gallery type of upload for my website's artwork and this one has answered what I needed. Thank you, Modula's makers!

artcgeek September 16, 2026 1 reply

After updating to the latest Modula version, my image gallery was showing up in a narrow column which was not intended. Modula support offered to troubleshoot and fix this. Although I was apprehensive about giving them user access, they found and alleviated the issue (settings were at 100px instead of 100% for column width). I appreciate their prompt attention to fixing the problem for me.

johnchrisbroyles September 5, 2026

I am doing an overhaul of my website using the Modula Galleries. After I downloaded the Modula plugin, Cristian contacted me from Modula. Since then, he has helped me configure the galleries in a very specific way that will benefit the people that come to my website. He went as far as doing CSS code for the webpage. He even offered to login to a shared Wordpress platform to help me get the galleries optimized on the website. All this for free!!! This customer service was a good as I've ever had, and exceeded all possible expectations.

I use the Modula Plugin to create a portfolio for my work. Had a problem and the guys from Modula got in touch with me very quickly. No chatbot, real person. They were super friendly and solved the problem very fast. I am very happy.

Changed: Beta galleries use a smaller initial loader and load gallery rendering, lightbox sessions, and comments when needed.

Info: Read more about Modula 3.0 Beta: https://wp-modula.com/modula-3-0-beta/

3.0.7 – 21.09.2026

Fixed: Modern lightbox vendor CSS is scoped under the body Modula host class, and open-state opacity is protected when another plugin styles shared Fancybox container classes (e.g. Easy FancyBox).

3.0.6 – 18.09.2026

3.0.5 – 18.09.2026

3.0.4 – 18.09.2026

Added: Duplicate on gallery listing row hover actions (same as ⋮; short label).

Changed: Gallery listing default SHOW is Published; removed the Everything (all live) status option.

Info: Read more about Modula 3.0 Beta: https://wp-modula.com/modula-3-0-beta/

3.0.2 – 11.09.2026

Added: Convert to new editor on the gallery listing bulk bar for selected classic galleries (same classic settings backup as row Convert).
Added: Restore classic editor on the gallery listing (⋮) for Beta galleries that have a Convert backup — restores flat classic settings and clears the Beta flag (shortcode unchanged).
Fixed: New gallery editor choice no longer stays stuck when a View Transition aborts; each choice and dismiss finishes (Beta gallery, classic gallery editor, or back to the listing).
Fixed: Modern/Beta visitor galleries no longer stay forever on “Loading gallery…” — renderer assets enqueue reliably (with cache-busting), stalled mounts recover or fail visibly with retry, and missing assets show an alert instead of an invisible shell.
Added: Modula Debug Log in Settings Diagnostics — opt-in JSONL failure log (enable, status, Download, Clear) for support, without requiring WP_DEBUG.
Added: Debug Log instrumentation for settings REST, gallery persist, and shortcode bootstrap failures (plus album.persist channel for Compatible Pro).
Added: WP-CLI gallery helpers to list, convert, and restore galleries from the command line.
Added: Compact Beta gallery editor chrome — fixed 72px icon-only sidebar rail with accessible names/tooltips and short rail labels.
Added: Gallery document status (publish / draft / private) in the takeover topbar, ahead of save status.
Added: Image click behavior “Lightbox, or link when set” — tile opens the lightbox when an image has no custom URL, or goes to that URL when one is set (pre-3.0 Pro hybrid; no automatic migration).
Changed: Gallery settings panel narrowed to 300px; supplementary field help moved into accessible info tips for a denser, cleaner canvas.
Changed: Hub drill-row secondary value summaries hidden so nested settings navigation stays scannable.
Changed: Takeover topbar layout cleaned up (shared select sizing, style-guide spacing/typography).
Changed: Renamed Image click behavior “External URL” to “Go to URL” (same external-url mode).
Fixed: Security issue — social share meta and visitor shortcode no longer expose non-visitor-readable galleries (private/draft) to unauthorized requests.
Fixed: Classic Update Gallery no longer wipes stored images when the modula-images payload is blank, invalid, or an empty array.
Fixed: Classic gallery items now sync into the hidden field on Update Gallery (including after bootstrap and before submit).
Fixed: Classic Save no longer empties the gallery when image captions contain quote characters (e.g. 30″ × 40″) — JSON is decoded after a single unslash, without a second stripslashes.
Fixed: Clearing Alt / Title / Caption completely in the Beta item panel now persists after autosave (Media Library non-empty text is still not wiped by empty sync).
Fixed: Lazy load gallery setting honored on modern visitor bootstrap (turning Lazy load off actually reaches the frontend).
Fixed: Gallery sizes attribute matches column breakpoints so eager thumbnails no longer default to undersized srcset candidates.
Fixed: Admin gallery listing and Beta editor status bar no longer show “0 images” when the gallery catalog has items (classic and/or v2).
Fixed: Gallery editor Captions & Titles Size number input no longer snaps to the minimum on each keystroke, so multi-digit sizes (e.g. 16) can be typed; the value clamps after a short pause or when leaving the field.
Fixed: Gallery listing checkboxes keep accumulating selection across galleries and albums (mixed-type bulk); a second row check no longer replaces the first.
Fixed: New album no longer opens a blank Add New Album screen when Albums editor takeover is off; the classic album editor is shown.
Compat: Beta gallery pagination dual-classes legacy hooks (.modula-navigation, .page-numbers, .current) alongside .modula-pagination* so shallow custom CSS keeps working; deep selectors (a.page-numbers, list wrappers, sibling #gallery + .modula-navigation) still need updating to the Beta markup.
Compat: Item chrome dual-classes Justified Grid Gallery hooks (.jtg-title, .jtg-description, .jtg-social) alongside .modula-title / .modula-description / .modula-social so theme and Defaults CSS keep matching; nested .jtg-body wrappers and #jtg-* root ids are unchanged (see ADR 0029).
