# Fancybox or PhotoSwipe?

Both are bundled. Fancybox has thumbnails and a slideshow, PhotoSwipe does not. PhotoSwipe is the lighter of the two.

Everything else (arrows, counter, zoom, fullscreen, share, download and deep linking) works in both.

See [Settings → Popup & Lightbox](https://www.visualportfolio.com/docs/settings/popup-gallery/).
