Image Grid

An Obsidian plugin that renders images in a responsive CSS grid layout using image-grid code blocks.

Usage

Create a fenced code block with the image-grid language tag and list your images using Obsidian's wiki-link syntax:

```image-grid
![[photo1.png]]
![[photo2.png]]
![[photo3.png]]
```

Configuration

Add optional key: value lines before the image list to customize the grid:

```image-grid
columns: 4
gap: 8
![[photo1.png]]
![[photo2.png]]
![[photo3.png]]
![[photo4.png]]
```
Option Default Description
columns 3 Number of grid columns
gap 4 Gap between images in pixels

Per-image size

Use the pipe syntax to set a max-width on individual images:

```image-grid
![[photo1.png]]
![[photo2.png|600]]
![[photo3.png]]
```

This sets max-width: 600px on photo2.png.

Lightbox preview

Click any image in the grid to open a full-screen lightbox preview. Click the backdrop or press Escape to dismiss.
