Does Webflow have a built-in photo gallery tool, or is there an alternative service available to create photo galleries without additional expenses for hosting or integration with Adobe Lightroom?

TL;DR
  • Build dynamic, customizable photo galleries in Webflow using native tools like Lightbox and CMS Collections with no extra hosting required.
  • For Lightroom integration, use third-party services like Pixieset or Flickr and embed them into Webflow.

Webflow does not have a built-in photo gallery CMS with advanced features like Lightroom integration, but it does allow you to create effective galleries using native elements, CMS Collections, or free third-party tools.

  • You can create visually appealing galleries using Grid, Flexbox, or Lightbox components.
  • The Lightbox element allows users to click and enlarge photos in a modal-style viewer.
  • Combine Lightbox with CMS Collections to make a dynamic gallery that auto-updates from your CMS content.
  • This setup is suitable for photographers who want control over layout without needing extra hosting.
  • Use Webflow CMS Collections to store and manage your images.
  • Each CMS item can contain an image and alt/title text.
  • Add a Collection List to your page and bind it to your image field.
  • If you use Lightbox inside the CMS List, each image can open in full view.
  • No external hosting is needed—images are stored on Webflow’s CDN.

3. External Free Services with Lightroom Integration

If you specifically want Lightroom auto-sync, Webflow alone won’t do that, but these free options offer alternatives:

  • Pixieset (Free tier): Offers beautiful galleries with Lightroom plugin support. However, embedding it into Webflow requires using an embed element.
  • Google Photos + Embed Code: Create a shared album and embed it in Webflow using an iframe; free but less professional.
  • Flickr: Supports Lightroom publishing and allows embedding galleries, though branding can’t be fully removed on free tier.

Webflow doesn’t charge extra to integrate external embeds, but some services may apply limits or branding on their free plans.

Summary

Webflow can create custom, dynamic photo galleries using native tools like Lightbox and CMS, with no extra hosting costs. However, if you need Lightroom integration, you’ll need to use a third-party service like Pixieset or Flickr, and embed the gallery in Webflow.
