Add an image gallery in Pages on iPhone

With an image gallery, you can view a collection of photos and SVG images in one place on a page, so only one shows at a time. You might want to do this, for example, if you plan to export your document in EPUB format and publish it to Apple Books, so readers can tap or click through the images as they would through a slideshow.

An image gallery object containing four images, with a caption below it and navigation arrows on the left and right sides.
  1. Tap the Add button in the toolbar, tap the Media button, then tap Image Gallery.

  2. Drag the image gallery to reposition it on the page, then drag any blue dot to resize it.

  3. Tap the Add Image button in the bottom-right corner of the image gallery, tap to select multiple images, then tap Add.

  4. To customise the image gallery, make sure it’s still selected, then do any of the following:

    • Adjust the position or zoom level of an image: Double-tap the image on the page, then drag it to move it in the frame. Drag the slider to zoom.

    • Reorder images: Tap the Format button, tap Gallery, tap Manage Image, then tap Edit. Touch and hold the Reorder handle, then drag to reorder images.

    • Add an image description that can be used by assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver): Tap the Format button, tap Gallery, then tap Description. Enter your text in the text box. The image description isn’t visible anywhere in your document.

      To add descriptions to other images in the gallery, tap the left or right arrow below the text box.

      You can also add a title to an image gallery, as well as add captions to individual images or all images. See Add a caption or title to objects in Pages on iPhone.

  5. To view the image gallery, tap the Previous Item button or the Next Item button.

To add more images, tap the image gallery, tap the Show More Items button, then tap Add Images.

To remove an image, tap the Format button, tap Gallery, tap Manage Image, then tap the Delete button next to the image you want to remove.
