How to add images to your SharePoint page using the Image Gallery Web Part

SharePoint

Since SharePoint sites in modern SharePoint are pretty visual, one of the common requirements on employee-facing sites and Intranet Homesites is to add graphics and images. There are a few options available in SharePoint Online, and one of my favorite ones I want to highlight is the ability to add an Image Gallery Web Part. So in this article, I would like to explain how it works.

What is Image Gallery Web Part?

Image Gallery Web Part is a web part that allows you to add multiple images to your page. Moreover, it allows you to change the display options of those images as well.

This allows you to put all the images into that library, and this web part will draw them from there and display them on your page. You can optionally click the Include subfolders checkbox to include images from the folders within a document library. You can also specify how many images will be displayed on a page at a given time.Image Gallery Web Part
  6. Finally, you can also choose from one of the three available layouts (Brick, Grid, and Carousel). If you choose Carousel, users must manually cycle through the images on your page.Imagegallerywebpart7
