Activate Dynamic Gallery
The first thing you have to do is to search for Dynamic Gallery element from Elementor dashboard.

Configure Dynamic Gallery Settings
After the EA Dynamic Gallery is activated, you will see Dynamic Gallery Settings option under the Content section.
You can set your preferred Animation Duration as well as the number of columns you want to see in your gallery. With the help of the drop-down menu, you can increase or decrease the number of columns and change the Item & Hover style.
Zoom & Link Icons are easily changeable as per your preference as well.
Choose a Layout
Most importantly, from the settings option, you can choose any of these two Layout Styles: Grid and Masonry.
First of all, let’s talk about the “Grid” style since it’s the default layout of Dynamic Gallery. Besides, Grid Item height is easily resizable. As a result, it gives you the flexibility to modify the thumbnail to any sizes.
You can also switch from Hovered item style to Cards. The difference between the two is that the latter one shows the content title and description.
If you don’t feel comfortable with the Grid style layout, you have the option to change the layout to Masonry. Masonry layout lets you balance out your layout if the height of the gallery items is different.
Since the Masonry doesn’t have any fixed height rows, your gallery items will look very fitting with each other.
Set up your Filterable Query
You can use your custom content as a source for your gallery. The Dynamic Gallery will automatically generate the galleries of the source you have selected. The source can be any of these three: Post, Pages & Manual Selection.
For the purpose of this article, Posts are gonna be used as the Source. You will then have the option to filter your gallery by either Author, Categories or Tags. If you don’t choose any of these mentioned, only the default “All” tab is going to be used.
The categories or tags you choose will be used to filter your gallery. From the drop-down menu, you can also increase or decrease the number of posts per page and offset.
On the other hand, if you want to leave out certain authors, categories or tags, you can simply put its name in the “Exclude” field as well. Moreover, you will also have the freedom to order your gallery images by ascending or descending.
