Grid Gallery Section Filter

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A filterable gallery grid where visitors click category buttons to show or hide items. The active filter is highlighted, and items smoothly transition as they filter in and out.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace Gallery Sections don't have built-in filtering. If you want visitors to browse a large gallery by category, you'd normally need separate pages. This technique adds client-side filtering so everything stays on one page with instant results.

Perfect For

Portfolio filtering, Photography galleries, Product showcases, Work samples by category, Case study collections, Art galleries by medium.

What Makes This Different

A custom JavaScript library reads keywords from your gallery items and creates a filter menu. CSS styles the filter buttons with active states. The filtering happens instantly without page reloads, creating a smooth browsing experience.
