Overview
Introduction: The Image Gallery Masonry 8 component displays images in a dynamic masonry layout, ideal for showcasing visuals in a more artistic and staggered format. This component works in sets of 8 images; any images beyond a multiple of 8 will not be displayed. It’s ideal for visual collections where the structure of a masonry layout adds aesthetic value.
Key Features:

How NOT to use this
Common Missteps:

- Ensure high-quality images to make the most of the masonry layout’s emphasis on visual appeal.
FAQ, pro tips, and troubleshooting
