Media Grid is a popular, high-performance WordPress plugin designed to create advanced, filterable, and fully responsive portfolios. It stands out by using a “masonry” engine that allows you to mix different media types into a single, cohesive layout.

Unlike standard WordPress galleries that force every item into a fixed ratio, Media Grid allows you to treat your portfolio like a dynamic mosaic.
Mixed Media Support: You can mix images, video (YouTube/Vimeo/Self-hosted), audio (SoundCloud/Spotify), and even PDF links or WooCommerce products in a single grid.
Visual Grid Builder: It uses a “drag-to-resize” interface. You can literally draw how much space an item should take up (e.g., one item is 1×1, the next is 2×1).
Adaptive Lightbox: It includes a built-in lightbox that is mobile-optimized and supports social sharing and deep-linking (each item gets its own URL).
Filtering System: It features a robust category-based filtering system so visitors can narrow down projects instantly.
Media Grid is particularly effective for:
Photographers/Artists: Who need to show vertical and horizontal shots side-by-side without awkward cropping.
Agencies: To showcase diverse case studies that include both video reels and static images.
E-commerce: Creating “Lookbooks” where items link directly to a cart or product page.
