Foobox
A responsive lightbox plugin for WordPress from FooPlugins that opens images in a popup instead of sending visitors to a new page. It works automatically with WordPress galleries, captioned images and attachments, and adjusts its controls for portrait and landscape screens on phones. It suits sites with many images or galleries. A free version covers the basics, and a paid Pro version adds more features.
