Media Grid

An Obsidian snippet

Skip to installation instructions

Note

This is a generic snippet that I intended for use with any Obsidian theme. The idea was heavily inspired by Stephan Ango's Minimal theme which incorporates this same kind of grid functionality. You can find him @kepano on Twitter or buy him a coffee 👇 to show your support.

Introduction

Media Grid gives you more control over the way your linked content is rendered in Obsidian. Add more meaning and visual interest to your documents by grouping sets of images, videos, or even audio tracks into grid layouts.

Creating a new grid is as easy as placing two or more image links next to each other in your markdown document. Below you can see the result of three links.

Want to start a new row? Just put an empty line between your links. Below you can see the result of two groups of links separated by an empty line. 😎

Awesome for throwing together a quick moodboard or collecting ideas for your next project.

It works with audio and video files too!

Make it yours

Media Grid looks great out of the box but can be further configured to your liking through the Style Settings Plugin (not required).
