<h2>Easily add captions to single-product photo galleries</h2>
<p>When present, image <strong><em>captions are read <a href="https://neilpatel.com/blog/shocking-truth-about-graphics/">up to 300% more</a> than a page’s main text</em></strong>. They are an opportunity to educate potential customers in bite-sized chunks, to tell as well as show why your product will solve a customer’s problem, and may be the only text on the page that gets read after the title.</p>
<p>Gallery Captions for WooCommerce adds captions to the photo gallery on WooCommerce single-product pages to help you show the best features if your products. The image’s title and caption are displayed below the image, both on the page and in the expanded lightbox view.</p>
<figure id="attachment_5444360" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5444360" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-5444360 size-large" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/wgc-screenshot-1.png?w=650" alt="A screenshot showing a product gallery with captions." width="650" height="371" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5444360" class="wp-caption-text">Captions can have either a title, text, or both.

<h3>Simple to use</h3>
<p>No configuration is required. If Gallery Captions for WooCommerce is active  and an image has a title or caption set, they’ll appear in the gallery.</p>

<h3>Captions Help Sell More</h3>
<p>Because <a href="https://apps.prsa.org/Intelligence/Tactics/Articles/view/11649/1132/Get_the_Picture_Communicate_With_Captions#.XnOpuzdKhTb">captions may be the most-read text on a page</a>, and most people <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/how-little-do-users-read/">only have time to read 28% of all the text</a> on a page, captions are a golden opportunity to communicate with your customers. Captions help customers understand your product better than an image alone; for example drawing attention to specialized features or reinforcing the quality of materials. They give you a chance to explain things that are difficult to communicate in an image like size, weight, or feel, in a place that’s highly likely to be read.</p>
<p>Using captions with your images helps customers be better-informed about their purchases so they can be confident that they are buying what they think they are buying.</p>
<h3>Technical Details</h3>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Turn captions on or off by activating or deactivating the extension in WordPress Admin > Plugins.</li>
<li>Caption title and text is pulled from each image’s “Title” and “Caption” fields.</li>
<li>Gallery Captions for WooCommerce doesn’t change your data — it’s completely non-destructive.</li>
</ul>

<p class="upg-marketplace-description__intro"><strong>Ultimate Product Gallery</strong> replaces the standard WooCommerce product gallery with a fast mixed-media buying surface for images, video, PDFs, zoom, lightbox, and responsive layouts.</p>
<ul class="upg-marketplace-feature-list wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Show product images, self-hosted video, YouTube/Vimeo embeds, and PDFs in one WooCommerce gallery.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Handle variable products with variation-aware gallery behavior: sync WooCommerce variation images into one gallery or replace the gallery per variation and add unlimited images to each.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Help shoppers inspect products with zoom, full-screen lightbox, thumbnails, captions, posters, and mobile-friendly layouts.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Start from existing WooCommerce featured and gallery images, then add richer media only where needed.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Use one gallery across classic product templates, block themes, Elementor, Divi, widgets, modules, and shortcodes.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-feature-list__item">Keep product pages fast with poster-first video, lazy loading, responsive image handling, minimal frontend scripts, and no jQuery dependency.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">The product media layer for WooCommerce</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Most WooCommerce stores outgrow the default product gallery. Shoppers need close-up inspection, product videos, downloadable product proof, mobile-friendly browsing, and a gallery that still feels fast.</p>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Ultimate Product Gallery turns each product page into a complete media surface for WooCommerce. Use your existing images and variation images, add videos and PDFs, choose responsive layouts, enable zoom and lightbox, and keep the experience consistent across the ways stores actually build product pages.</p>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">Keep every product answer in the purchase flow</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Product pages lose momentum when shoppers must leave the gallery to understand what they are buying. Ultimate Product Gallery keeps the important media beside the add-to-cart decision.</p>
<ul class="upg-marketplace-media-list">
<li class="upg-marketplace-media-list__item">Product images for fast visual scanning.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-media-list__item">Self-hosted video, YouTube, and Vimeo for demos, movement, and use cases.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-media-list__item">PDFs for manuals, size guides, warranties, spec sheets, safety information, and technical documents.</li>
<li class="upg-marketplace-media-list__item">Captions, alt text, posters, thumbnails, and hidden gallery items for cleaner presentation.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">Use existing WooCommerce images. Add richer media when needed.</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">You do not need to rebuild every product page. Start with the existing WooCommerce featured image and product gallery, then add richer media only for the products that need it.</p>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">For each product, you can add media from the WordPress media library, paste remote media or embed URLs, attach PDFs, set posters and thumbnails, reorder items, hide selected gallery items, and override store defaults when one product needs a different setup.</p>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">Variation-aware galleries for variable products</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Variable products can keep one shared gallery while syncing WooCommerce variation featured images into that gallery, or replace the gallery per variation when specific variations need their own media. In <strong>Replace the gallery per variation</strong> mode, each variation can have unlimited images in its own gallery. Variation settings inherit cleanly from global, builder/template, and parent-product settings, so stores can stay consistent without losing per-variation control.</p>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">One gallery across your WooCommerce build</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Use the same product media system across classic WooCommerce templates, block themes, Site Editor templates, Elementor widgets, Divi modules, widgets, modules, and shortcode output.</p>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Store-wide settings keep the default experience consistent. Per-product overrides let you tune layout, media order, captions, lightbox, zoom, spacing, and device-specific behavior where needed.</p>
<h2 class="upg-marketplace-section-title">Built to be the product gallery serious stores standardize on</h2>
<p class="upg-marketplace-section-copy">Some extensions add only video. Others focus on one gallery detail. Ultimate Product Gallery is designed as the full WooCommerce product media layer: images, variation images, video, PDFs, zoom, lightbox, responsive layouts, builder integrations, and performance-conscious storefront output in one place.</p>
<blockquote class="upg-marketplace-review-quote">
<p class="upg-marketplace-review-quote__copy">“I tested two other plugins before I gave UPG a chance. It integrated very well from the beginning. No custom code or tweaks were necessary. We stayed with it.”</p>
