WPBakery Page Builder users often struggle with default image grid limitations when creating complex visual layouts. Fast Gallery for WPBakery solves this by providing two dedicated visual modules—Fast Gallery and Fast Gallery Mosaic—that let developers set up custom image displays directly within the page builder interface.
Fast Gallery for WPBakery is an addon plugin designed for WordPress websites running WPBakery Page Builder. It equips developers, agency owners, and site builders with responsive grid, masonry, and mosaic display tools complete with multiple lightbox integrations, pagination, and lazy loading. This plugin is ideal for photography portfolios, agency display blocks, and media-rich business sites, but it is not suitable for standalone WordPress installations without WPBakery.

Core Features & Capabilities
The package combines two distinct gallery engines to handle structured grids and modern mosaic setups within WPBakery.
Fast Gallery Module
The primary Fast Gallery module provides structured multi-column layouts and granular responsiveness controls:
- 7 Lightbox & Display Modes: Choose between PhotoSwipe, Prettyphoto, Magnific Popup, Fotorama Slideshow, Light Gallery, Custom URL redirects, or standard non-lightbox images.
- 12 Preset Styles: Select from 12 pre-formatted design options or utilize a raw unstyled mode for custom CSS integration.
- Grid Column Layouts: Set up flexible layouts ranging from 1 to 9 columns with standard grid, masonry, or fluid responsiveness.
- Animation Engine: Features over 200 animation combinations for hover effects and image appearances.
- Performance Management: Native pagination and LazyLoad visual effects prevent slow page load times on media-dense pages.
- Custom Styling Controls: Adjust primary and secondary colors with opacity sliders, fine-tune space between thumbnails, and optionally set up single-thumbnail gallery triggers.
Fast Gallery Mosaic Module
The Mosaic module generates dynamic visual layouts with asymmetrical image dimensions:
- Mosaic Layout Engine: Automatically packs thumbnail assets into balanced mosaic layouts using custom height settings.
- 4 Lightbox Choices: Native support for Prettyphoto, Magnific Popup, Light Gallery, and custom direct web links.
- 10 Design Presets: Includes 10 curated style presets designed specifically for photo walls and portfolio displays.
- Layout Control: Built-in pagination, customized thumbnail margins, and individual color setup per gallery instance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this plugin without WPBakery Page Builder installed?
No, this software is strictly an extension addon designed for WPBakery Page Builder. It depends directly on WPBakery to render gallery blocks and control visual layout settings within WordPress.
How does the plugin maintain performance with large photo collections?
The plugin integrates native LazyLoad scripts and built-in pagination options. Images outside the active viewport delay loading until the user scrolls down, minimizing upfront HTTP requests and conserving server bandwidth.
Are the gallery layouts mobile-responsive out of the box?
Yes, both modules provide responsive fluid grid systems out of the box. You can configure custom breakpoint settings, set individual column counts per screen size, and adjust image heights for smaller mobile viewports.
