The masonry layout offers a more dynamic presentation by stacking media items in a staggered, Pinterest-like grid. This layout allows for images of varying heights to be displayed without alignment restrictions, giving the gallery a flowing, creative appearance.

It enhances the visual hierarchy by drawing attention to the key image, making it perfect for portfolios or showcases.

The values range from one to twelve, giving you flexibility to control how many columns appear in the grid.

As the number increases, more columns are introduced, such as three , four , or even up to twelve .
