Description

Marbak Multi Image Field for ACF adds a lightweight multi-image field to Advanced Custom Fields.

It focuses on a simple core workflow:

  • Select multiple images from the WordPress media library
  • Preview selected images inside the field
  • Reorder images with drag and drop
  • Remove images easily
  • Return gallery values as Image Array, Image URL, or Image ID

Optional Elementor integration is included through a custom dynamic tag, allowing the field to be used with Elementor Pro gallery-capable widgets.

This plugin is designed as a clean addon field type for ACF. It does not replace ACF Pro features or attempt to duplicate the full ACF Pro Gallery field.
