Image List

The Image List displays 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.

<ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }} cols={3} rowHeight={164}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

<ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }} cols={3} rowHeight={164}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=164&h=164&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </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.

<ImageList
  sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }}
  variant="quilted"
  cols={4}
  rowHeight={121}
>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img} cols={item.cols || 1} rows={item.rows || 1}>
      <img
        {...srcset(item.img, 121, item.rows, item.cols)}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

<ImageList
  sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }}
  variant="quilted"
  cols={4}
  rowHeight={121}
>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img} cols={item.cols || 1} rows={item.rows || 1}>
      <img
        {...srcset(item.img, 121, item.rows, item.cols)}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </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.

<ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }} variant="woven" cols={3} gap={8}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

<ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 450 }} variant="woven" cols={3} gap={8}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=161&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </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.

<ImageList variant="masonry" cols={3} gap={8}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=248&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=248&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </ImageListItem>
  ))}
</ImageList>

<ImageList variant="masonry" cols={3} gap={8}>
  {itemData.map((item) => (
    <ImageListItem key={item.img}>
      <img
        srcSet={`${item.img}?w=248&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`}
        src={`${item.img}?w=248&fit=crop&auto=format`}
        alt={item.title}
        loading="lazy"
      />
    </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.
