# Show an image gallery from a folder in Confluence

To show an image gallery from a folder in Confluence, insert the **Image folder gallery (Capable)** macro, choose the **Library Scope** and **Folder**, and pick a grid or table **Layout**. The gallery lists every image in that folder, stays in step as images are added, and lets readers click any image to download it.

## Before you start

* You need permission to edit the page.
* The images must be in a folder in a space or global library.

---

## Steps

1. Open the page in the editor, type **/image folder gallery** and choose **Image folder gallery (Capable)**.
2. On the **Content** tab, choose the **Library Scope**: a space, or Global.
3. Choose the **Folder**.
4. Choose a **Layout**. For a grid, set **Columns** and **Thumbnail Height**.
5. On the **Style** tab, adjust the gap, corners, shadow, border and image fit if you like.
6. Close the panel and publish the page.

## What happens next

The page shows every image in the folder. Images added to the folder later appear automatically. Readers click a tile or row to download that file.

📝

Quicker route: in the library, use **Copy as macro** on a folder and paste the link into the page. It turns into a gallery with the folder already chosen, using plainer default styling.

## If it does not work

* **It says No images in this folder.** Check you picked the right scope and folder, and that the images are in that folder rather than at the top of the library.
* **The gallery is missing from a PDF or published site.** Galleries are loaded live, so they do not carry into exports. Use plain images for content that must export.
