Lightbox Gallery for Squarespace

Replace your Squarespace lightbox with Lightbox Studio plugin 🔗 that allows pinch-to-zoom and support wheel zoom on desktop, packed with other advanced features to help you show off your media in an engaging way to attract more client attention that will keep the visitor around.

📗 General Functionality Overview

• Enable lightbox zoom functionality on all Squarespace lightbox-supported 🔗 gallery layouts and beyond:

  • Image Blocks – Works seamlessly with both Fluid Engine and Classic sections.
  • Gallery Sections – Supports Grid and Slideshow & Reel layouts 🔗.
  • Gallery Blocks – Fully compatible with Grid, Slideshow, Carousel, and Stacked layouts 🔗.
  • Product Page Galleries – Enhances default product lightbox functionality 🔗 with lightbox zoom and product videos.
  • Video lightbox gallery - Seamlessly create a mixed lightbox gallery 🔗  content between zoom images and videos

• Enhanced Lightbox Captions – Includes built-in lightbox captions for all galleries. For Gallery Section users, there’s a “Lightbox Caption Only” mode, which displays captions in Lightbox for galleries 7.1 while hiding them in the main gallery.

• Unified Gallery Lightbox – Connects image block lightboxes 🔗 within the same section into a cohesive gallery lightbox, perfect for custom image grid layouts.
  

• Download Button – Allows users to download images directly; on iOS, a new page opens with the image for non-Safari browsers.

• Real Site Preview Before Purchase – Enter your site URL to generate a live preview snapshot, so you can explore how the plugin functions on your site 🔗.
  

📗 Extended Functionality

Dynamic Lightbox Gallery

Lightbox Studio’s Dynamic Galleries feature allows each image to open as an independent lightbox gallery, thanks to Lightboxify URLs. This is ideal for creating specialized, self-contained galleries 🔗 —even with Squarespace Portfolio pages 🔗 —where each item opens in its unique lightbox view.

Squarespace Video Lightbox Gallery

Lightbox Studio automatically integrates video slides within Gallery blocks, mixing videos with images seamlessly. For Gallery sections, where video support is limited, the plugin converts clickthrough links into video-ready links, enabling dynamic video galleries 🔗  with sources like Squarespace hosted videos 🔗, Vimeo, and YouTube.

For Squarespace product detail page's lightbox, follow this tutorial to enable video product lightbox 🔗 

Squarespace PDF Lightbox Popup

With PDF Popup support 🔗, you can embed documents—like lookbooks, menus, or sizing charts 🔗—directly on your site. Visitors can view PDFs in a dedicated lightbox 🔗, creating a cohesive browsing experience that keeps them engaged without leaving the page.

📗 Lightbox Studio Across Industries

Lightbox Studio offers unique tools for different creative and professional fields. Explore how the plugin elevates portfolios and websites for specific industries:

It will work on any lightbox on your Squarespace site

@connieresch Thanks for purchasing the solution

I have developed a new way of installing and would like to invite you to try it out, there won't be manually file upload anymore...

This plugin is terrific!! It was pretty much exactly what I was looking for! I had some tweaks I wanted for my captions so I contacted Beyondspace and they gave me the extra code I needed, which was to zoom in on my images with no text anywhere. My site performs great on both desktop and mobile now. Top notch service and super friendly! If you are an artist or photographer, I highly recommend Lightbox Gallery for Squarespace for your site. You can see it in action here: timconlon.com

Hi, You can change the lightbox color in your gallery blocks or sections and the Lightbox will change accordingly ( you may need to let the theme option in the playground to auto, too)

How do I access the Lightbox Studio Playground shown above from my Squarespace account/site?

Could you mind to share your site URL? I just replied via email about this matter

Thanks

Hi yes, it is https://www.davidrenders.com/   goto PROJECTS on the top right then any of the first 5 or so projects have the lightbox feature enabled

I have copied and pasted the code into the footer section and the basic functionality is there.  However i don't have the other functionality that is shown in the Lightbox Studio Playground.

Can I please get an answer about why I don't have the Lightbox Studio Playground functionality that I thought I paid for?

Hi David, 

Hi and thanks for getting back to me via email and explaining how to access and configure the Lightbox Studio Playground.  Everything works great now, thank you!

Hey, everything works even better than expected and I've gotten a few compliments on our design at this point. I think I'm going to use the new feature for lightboxing PDFs on all of our artists' pages too. Thank you for always being helpful quick, lightbox gallery solved a lot of our issues and reduced all the coding I needed to do lol.
