# How do I display my Instagram photos in a popup window?

> Set Photo Link to Photo Popup or Instagram Popup on a Pro widget to open a photo in a small popup window when a visitor clicks it.

With a popup, a click on a photo opens a small browser window. Your website stays open behind it. **Photo Link** has two popup options:

* **Photo Popup**: opens the large photo in a popup window.
* **Instagram Popup**: opens the Instagram post in a popup window. On Facebook and X widgets, this option is **Facebook Popup** or **Twitter Popup**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Popup options need a Pro widget. Pro widgets come with the Lite, Pro and Developer plans. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See [Free and Pro widgets](/docs/getting-started/free-and-pro-widgets).

**1. Open your widget**

On your [dashboard](https://snapwidget.com/dashboard), click the widget.

**2. Choose a popup option**

On the **Advanced** tab, set **Photo Link** to **Photo Popup** or **Instagram Popup**.

**3. Save**

Click **Update & Get Widget** to save. The popup works with the code that is already on your website.

These options are on Pro **Grid**, **Board**, **Slideshow** and **Scrolling** widgets. To keep the post on your page instead of in a new window, use a [lightbox](/docs/widget-settings/lightbox).

> [!TIP]
>
> Looking for the small floating box that shows your latest Instagram post on your website? That is the **Popup** layout. Select it when you [create an Instagram widget](/docs/getting-started/create-an-instagram-widget).
