Gallery for Google Photos

Import photos and videos from your Google Photos account and show them as responsive grid, masonry, carousel, and story galleries. Pick your media with Google’s official Photos Picker, save it to your own Media Library, then design the gallery in the block editor — block or shortcode.

Gallery for Google Photos publishes your Google Photos library without coding. Choose a layout, set responsive columns, add captions and hover effects, and open photos in a full-screen lightbox with video playback. Because the photos you pick are copied into your own Media Library, your galleries keep working even after your Google session expires.

Use it for photography portfolios, travel blogs, event recaps, real-estate listings, or client galleries. It works with any WordPress theme.
