PowerFolio – Portfolio & Image Gallery for Elementor

79 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs the plugin sits in the lower-mid range of the category and well behind the 600,000 to 10 million installs of the leading Elementor addons.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated in June 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, so it is current with the latest core release and clearly actively maintained.

User Rating

14/15

A 90 out of 100 from 12 reviews is a strong score but the sample is small, so the rating is a positive signal rather than a proven track record.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is essentially unproven support health; we cannot confirm whether the developer actually replies when users need help.

WP Compatibility

15/15

It requires WordPress 5.0 and PHP 7.4, which is broadly compatible with virtually every modern host and well below current recommended versions.

What It Does

PowerFolio is a portfolio and image gallery plugin that lets you build responsive portfolio grids and lightbox galleries directly inside Elementor or Gutenberg. It provides shortcodes and widgets so you can drop styled galleries into any page without writing custom CSS. The focus is on quick visual setup for showcasing image-heavy work.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for solo creatives and small studios (photographers, designers, artists, architects, real estate agents) who want a dedicated, lightweight gallery tool rather than a full page builder suite. It fits sites where images are the primary content and the owner wants Elementor or Gutenberg compatibility without bloating the site with addons they do not need.

Who Should Skip It

If you already run a large Elementor addon suite like Essential Addons or Ultimate Addons, you likely have portfolio widgets bundled in and do not need a separate plugin. Sites with only a handful of images or those needing advanced features like client proofing, e-commerce galleries, or video portfolios should look at more specialized tools.

The Bottom Line

PowerFolio earns a solid 78.91 out of 100, with maintenance and compatibility as its strongest pillars and support health as its biggest unknown. It is a reasonable choice for image-heavy Elementor or Gutenberg sites that want a focused gallery tool without adopting a full addon suite, but the small install base and lack of support tickets mean you are buying on potential rather than proven scale. For most Elementor users the bundled widgets in a major addon kit will be the safer, more battle-tested option.
