Tilled galleries allows you to display your images in three styles, rectangular mosaic, square mosaic and circular grid. The former two have hover-over captions.
To do this:
- Make sure the module is activated in your Jetpack dashboard
- Create a new gallery with the “Tiles” option selected.
- Optional: To make all of your galleries tiled by default, go to Settings → Media in your blog’s dashboard and select the box next to “Display all your gallery pictures in a cool mosaic.“
Carousel
Carousel allows you to launch embedded galleries in wordpress in a full-screen photo browsing experience. Simply activate carousel in the Jetpack settings. You can also set the background colour to black or white.

To do this you first need to activate custom content types in Jetpack settings then go to Settings → Writing in your wordpress dashboard and check the Portfolio Projects option.
