== Description ==

Spartan Gallery is a responsive, multipurpose portfolio gallery plugin for WordPress. It works well for agencies, personal portfolios, architecture and photography studios, product showcases, artist portfolios, and blogs.

Six layout styles are included: Freewall Chaotic, Random, Fixed, Pinterest, Hexagon, and 3D Slider. Each gallery has its own options panel to control image size, thumbnail behavior, container styling, and custom CSS, plus a Gutenberg block for adding galleries anywhere in the block editor.
