A fish

The image of the mule links to Mule; the image of the donkey does not link anywhere; the image of the trout links to a standard image description page.

Using direction

By default, the images the template presents are displayed horizontally, as a row (see left; equivalent to setting |direction=horizontal). To display them vertically, i.e. as a column, set |direction=vertical (see right).

(horizontal)

File:Ribbon numeral 4.png

(vertical)

On mobile devices some images may always be displayed vertically if the total width is larger than around 320.

To match image heights

Decide on a total width for all the images, say 320px
Set the total width using |total_width=

Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.

Square image of a trout, originally 300 pixels high.

Both images have been rendered with the same height, and a total width of 320px

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320

 | image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | alt1 = A donkey
 | caption1 = Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | alt2 = A trout
 | caption2 = Square image of a trout, originally 300 pixels high.

 | footer = Both images have been rendered with the same height, and a total width of 320px
}}

Using the |width[n]= and |height[n]= parameters.

Square image of a trout, originally 300 x 300 pixels.

width2 x height2 = 900 x 900.

width3 x height3 = 100 x 200.

File:Kern Theodolit DKM2-A.jpg

width4 x height4 = 200 x 100.

All images have been rendered with the same height except for image3, which is 100/200 = 1/2 the height of the other images. Image4 is 200/100 = 2 times the height of image1, so only its top half is visible. Total width set to 480px.

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 480

 | image1 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | caption1 = Square image of a trout, originally 300 x 300 pixels.

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width2 = 900
 | height2 = 900
 | caption2 = <code>width2</code> x <code>height2</code> = 900 x 900.
 
 | image3 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width3 = 100
 | height3 = 200
 | caption3 = <code>width3</code> x <code>height3</code> = 100 x 200.
 
 | image4 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width4 = 200
 | height4 = 100
 | caption4 = <code>width4</code> x <code>height4</code> = 200 x 100.
 
 | footer = All images have been rendered with the same height except for image3, which is 100/200 = 1/2 the height of the other images. Image4 is 200/100 = 2 times the height of image1, so only its top half is visible. Total width set to 480px.

The aspect ratio of each image is automatically retrieved from the File metadata. You can override the native width and height values by

Examining the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example:
- File:Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg shows "Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg (750 × 536 pixels, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)"
- File:Rainbow trout.png shows "Rainbow_trout.png (300 × 300 pixels, file size: 158 KB, MIME type: image/png)"
Specify the full width and height for each image, of the form:
- |width1= |height1= |width2= |height2=

Multiple rows

To create an array of images, with multiple rows, use |perrow=. The value passed to |perrow= may be a single number, or a list of numbers delimited by /. This feature may also be combined with |total_width= for multiple rows of images with the same total width.

Removing the image border

The border around the images can be removed using |image_style=border:none.

Image of a donkey

Image of a trout

{{multiple image
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320
 | image_style = border:none;

 | image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | alt1 = A donkey
 | caption1 = Image of a donkey

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | alt2 = A trout
 | caption2 = Image of a trout
}}

Increasing the gap between images

The gap between the images can be increased using |image_gap=N, where N is the number of pixels (must be non-negative).
