OVERVIEW

The gallery, in a window.

Turns a plain gallery into a screenshot switcher. Filters the gallery output into browser chrome with thumbnails, an address bar and keyboard navigation.

Showing a website inside a website is a presentation problem. A flat screenshot has no context; a video is heavy and cannot be linked into.

This filters the core gallery into a browser frame with a thumbnail row and an address bar, so a set of screenshots reads as a tour of a real site.

Perfect for showing off a build without a video.

WHAT YOU GET

The core gallery, reframed.

Core gallery, reframed

Filters the existing gallery shortcode. No new block, no new shortcode, no content migration.

Attachment-driven labels

Thumbnail labels and the address bar text come from attachment titles and captions.

Keyboard paging

Arrow keys move between shots with the pressed state announced, not just recoloured.

Device frames

Optional phone and tablet frames alongside the desktop window, switchable per gallery.
