Step 1: Creating a Gallery View

Step 2: Uploading Pictures
Once you have created the gallery view, it’s time to start adding pictures. To upload pictures, simply click on the “+” button at the top of the gallery view and select the images you want to add from your computer.

Pro Tip: You can also drag and drop images directly into the gallery view to upload them.
Step 3: Customizing the Gallery View
Now that you have added pictures to the gallery view, it’s time to customize the way they are displayed. Notion allows you to change the layout, size, and spacing of the pictures in the gallery view to suit your preferences.
To change the layout, click on the three-dot menu at the top right corner of the gallery view and select “Layout options.” From here, you can choose between different layout options such as grid, list, or gallery.

You can also adjust the size and spacing of the pictures by clicking on the three-dot menu again and selecting “Properties.” In the properties menu, you can change the size, spacing, and alignment of the pictures to achieve your desired look.

Step 4: Adding Personal Touches
Now that you have the basic gallery view set up, it’s time to add some personal touches to make it truly your own. Notion allows you to add captions, tags, and other metadata to your pictures to provide more context and organization.
To add a caption to a picture, simply click on the picture and enter your desired caption in the field provided. You can also add tags to your pictures by clicking on the three-dot menu and selecting “Tags.” This allows you to easily filter and search for specific pictures based on their tags.
