Are you looking for a way to put images side by side in WordPress?

The beginners often struggle to put two pictures side by side in pages and posts. Well, you can easily put images side by side in WordPress by using its default editor (Gutenberg).

Yes, you don’t need to use any plugin. All you have to do is use the Default blocks of your WordPress website.

It’s very easy to use, and the most interesting part is you won’t have to write a single line of code.

So, let’s dive in.

Method 1: Using the Gallery Block

In this method you can put images side by side by using the Gallery block. Follow these steps and then try yourself.

Step 1: Insert Gallery Block

The Gallery Block allows you to display multiple images in rows and columns. 

At the very beginning, you need to create a new post or open an existing one where you want to add images. Now click on the add block button ‘+’ and search for ‘Gallery’. Then, insert the block by clicking on it.

Step 2: Upload Images

Now, you need to upload the images. Simply click on the ‘Upload’ button and select image files from your PC. You can also drag the images into the gallery block.

If you want to use images from the media library, then hit the ‘Media Library’ button and choose your preferred ones. 

Step 3: Put Images Side by Side

I’ve uploaded four images, and WordPress has positioned three of them side by side.

You can change the number of columns to show two, three, or four images side by side. Simply click on the ‘Block’ tab from the right-hand side options panel and change the number of columns.

You can also change the image positions with one click. Just click on the arrows over the images. These arrows will help images to move backward and forward in the gallery. 

That’s it. You’re done.

Method 2: Using the Columns Block

In this method, we will use the columns block. First

Step 1: Add Columns Block

From your dashboard, open the page/post where you want to put images side by side. Then Click on the ‘Add Block’ button and search for ‘Columns’ block.

Add the block by clicking on it.

Step 2: Choose a Variation

If you want to add two images side by side then choose 50/50. If you want to add three images side by side then choose 33/33/33. Here I am choosing 33/33/33.

Step 3: Add Images

Now, click on the ‘Add Block’ button inside the column and add the image block.

Upload any image or choose from the media library.

In the same way, add images to other columns.

Now, you will have your images side by side, something like this below.

If you wish to add more images here, you can change the size of the column and then add. To do it, click on the column and go to column settings.

Then adjust the column size and add images as you like.

Method 3: Using the Row Block

You can also put images side by side by using the row block.

Step 1: Insert the Row Block

Open the page/post and click on the ‘Add block’ button. Search for the ‘Row’ block.

Insert the block by clicking on it.

Step 2: Add Image Inside the Row

Click on the ‘Add Block’ button inside the row block and add the ‘Image’ block.

Upload any image or choose from the media library.

Now click on the row block and then hit the ‘Add Block’ button to add another image block.

In this way, you can add your favorite images side by side using a row block.
