jQuery Mosaic screenshot

Works wonderfully with images by creating a visually ordered and pleasant mosaic (much like mosaics on Flickr, 500px and Google+) without gaps between elements, but at the same time respecting aspect ratios. Reacts to window resizes and adapts responsively to any screen size.

Version history

  • v0.15.3 Added maxRows option for those situations where you need fine control on the maximum number of rows of your mosaic. Added advanced options maxItemsToShowWhenResponsiveThresholdSurpassed and showTailWhenNotEnoughItemsForEvenOneRow for even more fine-grained control of your mosaic. Mosaic is not resized when it's hidden and support for VIDEO elements thanks to @borekl
  • v0.15 Added the ability to pass parameters as html data-* attributes. Solved floating point width bug for compatibility with jQuery versions < 3. Thanks to @BenTalagan.
  • v0.14 New maxRowHeightPolicy 'tail' that renders items respecting their aspect ratio without surpassing the specified maxRowHeight, resulting in a last row that might not completely fit the screen horizontally, suggested by @borekl and @nzjrs.
  • v0.13 New outerMargin and innerGap parameters.

Compatibility

  • Requires at least jQuery version 3.3.0
  • Tested successfully on Safari 11.1, Chrome 65.0.3325.181 and Firefox 59.0.2
