Unlike many other lightbox libraries, Yet Another React Lightbox is not limited
to just two images per slide ("thumbnail" and "original" / "full size").
Instead, we favor responsive images with automatic resolution switching and
recommend you provide multiple files of different resolutions for each image
slide. Yet Another React Lightbox automatically populates srcset / sizes
attributes and lets the user's browser decide which image is more appropriate
for its viewport size.
`jsx
import * as React from "react";
import Lightbox from "yet-another-react-lightbox";
import "yet-another-react-lightbox/styles.css";
export default function App() {
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
return (
<>
close={() => setOpen(false)}
slides={[
{
src: "/image1x3840.jpg",
alt: "image 1",
width: 3840,
height: 2560,
srcSet: [
{ src: "/image1x320.jpg", width: 320, height: 213 },
{ src: "/image1x640.jpg", width: 640, height: 427 },
{ src: "/image1x1200.jpg", width: 1200, height: 800 },
{ src: "/image1x2048.jpg", width: 2048, height: 1365 },
{ src: "/image1x3840.jpg", width: 3840, height: 2560 },
],
},
// ...
]}
/>
>
);
}

You can also integrate 3rd-party image components (e.g., Next.js Image or Gatsby
Image) via a custom render function. See
examples on the documentation
website.
