Trying to make a lightbox on Webflow? Here’s a list of some of the best free webflow lightboxes that you can clone and use on your website right away!
Lightbox is a native Webflow feature that makes it easy to create great experiences, especially if you are creating e-commerce or portfolio websites. They allow users to display multimedia content like images and videos in a pop-up window on top of a web page. Lightboxes are a great way to make content more engaging and interactive, and they work well on all devices. But we all know that the lightbox feature on Webflow is not very flexible and can’t be easily customised.
So to help, we gathered some of the best lightbox cloneables that will make you rethink what is possible. Plus, we included cloneables that solve some of the most common lightbox problems anyone might have when working on your Webflow project.

CMS Team Intro Popup Lightbox Cloneable by Timothy Ricks
This lightbox is and isn’t a lightbox at the same time. This makes this cloneable perfect if you are looking for inspiration.
While it follows the idea behind what a lightbox is, it’s actually just a unique way to use Webflow interactions and CMS (yes, it’s a CMS collection list!) to create a really unique teams page.
In other words, this is a collection list that has pop ups in it. If that caught your attention, you will love this cloneable!

Looping Lightbox Cloneable by Francesco Castronuovo

This simple jQuerry script adds looping behaviour to all lightbox components. You still need to add the class to them, but if you do - your lightboxes will not stop at the last image and will show the first image after the last one, making it an endless loop.

Dynamic Lightbox Cloneable by Makers Team
This cloneable solves a very unique problem in a cool way. It uses two CMS collections and merges them together to make this one page website. Lightbox will show images from different collection items based on a multi-reference field.
We know this sounds weird, so let’s try to explain it again. Each lightbox image inside each lightbox place comes from a different CMS collection item. Think of it like a photo album where you can mix and match pictures from different events or sources. Instead of having all wedding photos in one album and all vacation photos in another, you can create custom albums that pull specific photos from both collections. Each time you click to view a photo (the lightbox), it can show images from any of these different sources, giving you more flexibility in how you organize and present your content.
Basically this cloneable allows you to create native Webflow lightboxes that pull data from multiple collections at once, based on different CMS field inputs. If that didn’t make sense, just check the cloneable, it might be one of those cases where showing it is easier than trying to explain it.
What is in this lightbox?
Custom code solution that allows you to add images to lightbox through the CMS.
What is this lightbox best for?
- Situations where you create smaller websites and want your clients to be able to manipulate those websites by adding or removing CMS collection items.
Bottom line:
😎 Use this lightbox if you want to broaden your perspective of what’s possible with Webflow. This is a really complex solution that shows that if this is possible, then anything is possible with Webflow!
