Excelent free option for ACF photo gallery field
I have been using ACF Photo Gallery Field for about 4 years now, and it worked excelent. I use it with Elementor Pro and custom templates, and I am able to access the dinamic data in the gallery field
Too buggy
Does not work inside ACF fields groups. Simply does not saving any selected images. Also, if a lot images was added, sometimes spontaneously losing all of them when saving the post. Updated 05.1

worked well for me, colour me happy
Tried a few plug ins that did not work, but this one did. Happy days.
webp support added
I’ve managed to add support for the WebP format. Both developers and users can contact me to obtain it.Special thanks to Mr. Wojtek Szałkiewicz, the original developer.
sometimes doesn’t work
I positioned my watermarks in the bottom right corner as a small logo and text. It works for most images. However, for some, the logo is large and centered, obscuring large portions of the image.
