Description
AZ Radial Image Ring Gallery for Elementor is a lightweight and flexible Elementor widget that allows you to display images in circular radial layouts.
Images are automatically clipped into perfect circles and distributed evenly around one or more rings surrounding a center image. The widget supports rotation, hover effects, captions, and custom links — all powered by CSS for maximum performance.
This plugin requires Elementor to be installed and activated. This plugin works with Elementor Free and does not require Elementor Pro.
