# Gallery
The **Gallery** section displays a carousel of images and captions in an Instagram feed-like way. It's great for curating your actual social media posts while having total control over how they're presented.
## Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can [create new templates](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md#create-and-assign-multiple-templates) or [use metafields and dynamic sources](/lorenza/general/adapting-your-theme/dynamic-content-with-metafields.md).
{% endhint %}
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Select a **Template** to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.
> Learn how to use templates in our [Templates guide](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md).
2. Under **Template**, click **(+) Add section** and select **Gallery.**
3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles **`⋮⋮`** to re-order your sections.
## Add gallery items
Add as many **Gallery** items as you like, each one made to look like an image-focused social media post.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click **(+) Add item** and/or click on the **Item** block to open the settings.
2. Under **Image**, click **Select image** to upload and select your image file.
> Your image will appear in its original orientation by default. There are no required image dimensions but a **Square (1:1)** orientation is ideal.
> See our article for image recommendations for Lorenza to learn more.
3. Add some **Description** text.
> We recommend keeping this to a short, one or two sentence caption.
4. Select or paste a URL in the **Link** field.
> The gallery item will be clickable and take customers to the link destination.
> Make sure you copy the full URL, including **`https://`** at the start. For example: **`https://instagram.com/abc123`**.
5. (*Optional*.) Click and hold the drag handles **`⋮⋮`** to rearrange the blocks:
> Click **Remove block** in the block settings to delete a block.
> Click the **Eye icon** to hide or unhide a block.
6. Click **Save**.
## **Section content and style**
Change the overall style and layout of the section, along with headings and links.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click on the **Gallery** section to open the section settings.
2. (*Optional*.) Use the **Section style** dropdown to use **Contrast** colors.
> The **Contrast** style uses the contrast colors in your **Theme Settings**.
3. Choose whether to **Enable animation** to show visual effects when scrolling, hovering, or interacting with the section.
4. Select a **Text position** for the section headings, either above or beside the gallery items.
> Choose between *Top left*, *Top center*, *Top right*, *Middle left* or *Middle right* options.
5. Select the number of **Columns** of gallery images to display at one time. Choose between *2* and *4* columns.
> If the **Middle left** or **Middle right** text positions are used, the section headings display as one of the columns.
> On mobile, only one column displays at once.
6. To make your images a uniform shape and size, select the **Image aspect ratio** to crop your images to **Square**, **Landscape**, or **Portrait**.
> The default **Natural** setting will display the original orientation of your image.
7. Change the text for the **Small heading**, **Heading**, and **Subheading**.
8. Add a **Link** and **Link text** to display a call-to-action button.
> The most effective button labels ask customers to do something (e.g. Get started, Join us, Shop now). To learn more, read ["What is a Call to Action?"](https://www.thebalancesmb.com/call-to-action-1794380).
9. Use the **Max width of text** slider to control the maximum width of the headings.
> Use this setting to create a clean visual shape for your text and avoid unwanted line breaks.
10. Click **Save**.
