Built for motion, crafted for clarity
Carousel Gallery Block
The Carousel Gallery Block is part of FolioBlocks — a premium WordPress plugin that brings advanced, responsive galleries directly into the WordPress block editor. Designed for immersive, swipeable presentations, the Carousel layout lets your audience glide effortlessly through your images with smooth horizontal scrolling that feels fast, modern, and highly engaging.
Perfect for full-width hero sections, featured project strips, portfolios, and storytelling sequences, it offers optional autoplay, customizable navigation controls, and flexible alignment settings to help you create motion-driven galleries that command attention. With built-in Lightbox support, configurable playback behaviors, and responsive fine-tuning, it’s ideal for photographers, designers, and creatives who want to showcase their work with impact and movement.
Behind the scenes, the gallery is powered by our own custom Image Block, allowing gallery images to be inserted as InnerBlocks. Giving you full block-editor flexibility — including effortless drag-and-drop rearranging directly in List View. No external interfaces, no modal editors, and no friction. Just a smooth, native WordPress experience designed for speed and creativity.
With optional autoplay, Pro-only enhancements like downloads and WooCommerce product overlays, and carefully tuned responsive behavior, the Carousel Gallery Block gives you a sleek, modern way to display your work that feels dynamic and visually compelling.
