Parameter	Description
align	right (default), left, center
direction	horizontal (default), vertical
background color	To set the background color of the box in which the images appear.
header_background
header_align	center (default), left, right
header
width	Use to set the same width for each image (i.e. overrides any width[n] below). Do not include if different image widths intended.
image[n]	(where [n] = 1 to 10) Filename of [n]th image.
width[n]	(as above) Width (in pixels, integer, omit "px") of [n]th image. Overridden by width (if set).
alt[n]	(as above) Alt description for [n]th image.
link[n]	(as above) To specify the page to which the [n]th image is linked (i.e. the page that is loaded when the image is clicked). If set as empty (e.g. ...\|alt1=... \|link1= \|caption1=...), linking is disabled (even to the standard Wikipedia image description page); consider WP:ALT. Note: This parameter must not be used with images that have been given free licenses (such as the GDFL or a free CC license) as these licenses require images to be linked to a declaration of the license under which they are being used.
caption[n]	(as above) Caption for the [n]th image.
caption_align	left (default), center, right
footer_background
footer_align	left (default), center, right

When a user has many of one type of barnstar, they can represent them with ribbons and these numerals to indicate the count.

with background color

Green herb with a few tiny yellow-white flowers

Three small white and yellow flowers before green-leaf background

Leaves of a plant, in groups of three each with three lobes

Adoxa (Adoxa moschatellina)

{{multiple image|caption_align=center|header_align=center

 | width = 160
 | image1 = Adoxa_moschatellina_210406.jpg

 | footer = [[Adoxa]] (''Adoxa moschatellina'')
}}

with links (link[n])

A mule
(骡子 luózi)

A donkey
(驴子 lǘzi)

A fish
(鱼 yú)

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.

{{multiple image|caption_align=center|header_align=center
 | align = left

 | image1 = Frecklesmule.jpg
 | width1 = 143
 | alt1 = A mule
 | link1 = Mule
 | caption1 = A mule<br />(骡子 ''luózi'')

 | image2 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | width2 = 150
 | alt2 = A donkey
 | link2 = 
 | caption2  = A donkey<br />(驴子 ''lǘzi'')</center>

 | image3 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width3 = 91
 | alt3 = A trout
 | caption3  = A fish<br />({{lang|zh|2=鱼}} ''yú'')</center>

 | footer = 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 [[Image description page|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)

(vertical)

to match image heights

Decide on a total width for all the images, say 320px
Examine 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=
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|caption_align=center|header_align=center
 | align = right
 | total_width = 320

 | image1 = Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg
 | width1 = 750 | height1 = 536
 | alt1 = A donkey
 | caption1 = Rectangular image of a donkey, originally 536 pixels high.

 | image2 = Rainbow_trout.png
 | width2 = 300 | height2 = 300
 | 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

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.
