Image list

Image lists display a collection of images in an organized grid.

Image lists represent a collection of items in a repeated pattern. They help improve the visual comprehension of the content they hold.

Standard image list

Standard image lists are best for items of equal importance. They have a uniform container size, ratio, and spacing.

  • Breakfast
  • Burger
  • Camera
  • Coffee
  • Hats
  • Honey
  • Basketball
  • Fern
  • Mushrooms
  • Tomato basil
  • Sea star
  • Bike
<ImageList cols={3} rowHeight={164} className={classes.root}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format 1x,
            ${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        alt={item.title}
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

Quilted image list

Quilted image lists emphasize certain items over others in a collection. They create hierarchy using varied container sizes and ratios.

  • Breakfast
  • Burger
  • Camera
  • Coffee
  • Hats
  • Honey
  • Basketball
  • Fern
  • Mushrooms
  • Tomato basil
  • Sea star
  • Bike
<ImageList variant="quilted" cols={4} rowHeight={121} className={classes.root}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img} cols={item.cols || 1} rows={item.rows || 1}>
      <img
        srcSet={srcset(item.img, 121, item.rows, item.cols)}
        alt={item.title}
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

Woven image list

Woven image lists use alternating container ratios to create a rhythmic layout. A woven image list is best for browsing peer content.

  • Bed
  • Kitchen
  • Sink
  • Books
  • Chairs
  • Candle
  • Laptop
  • Doors
  • Coffee
  • Storage
  • Coffee table
  • Blinds
<ImageList variant="woven" cols={3} gap={8} className={classes.root}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format 1x,
            ${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        alt={item.title}
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

Masonry image list

Masonry image lists use dynamically sized container heights that reflect the aspect ratio of each image. This image list is best used for browsing uncropped peer content.

  • Bed
  • Books
  • Sink
  • Kitchen
  • Blinds
  • Chairs
  • Laptop
  • Doors
  • Coffee
  • Storage
  • Candle
  • Coffee table
<ImageList variant="masonry" cols={3} gap={8}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format 1x,
          ${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        alt={item.title}
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

Image list with title bars

This example demonstrates the use of the ImageListItemBar to add an overlay to each item. The overlay can accommodate a title, subtitle and secondary action - in this example an IconButton.

Custom image list

In this example the items have a customized titlebar, positioned at the top and with a custom gradient titleBackground. The secondary action IconButton is positioned on the left. The gap prop is used to adjust the gap between items.
