Designed for Creative, Waterfall Layouts
Masonry Gallery Block
The Masonry Gallery Block is part of FolioBlocks — a premium WordPress plugin built for photographers, designers, and creatives who want complete visual control inside the block editor. It delivers a modern, free-flowing layout where images naturally fall into place, creating the signature waterfall-style presentation that makes your portfolio feel organic, dynamic, and beautifully unstructured.
Unlike rigid grid-based galleries, the Masonry layout embraces mixed aspect ratios, allowing tall portraits, wide landscapes, and unconventional crops to sit together harmoniously. This makes it ideal for storytelling sequences, editorial collections, event coverage, and any portfolio that benefits from visual rhythm and variety.
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 fine-tuned responsive controls, built-in Lightbox support, hover effects, and advanced Pro-only enhancements like downloads, filtering, and WooCommerce integration, the Masonry Gallery Block gives you a flexible and professional-grade foundation for showcasing your work at its best.
