I am looking for an alternative to FancyBox 2. It should be lightweight, mobile friendly (use hardware accelerated css transitions), and free to use commercially (FancyBox isn't). Any good alternatives?

I think Swipebox is the closest I've seen to what you're after. It doesn't look exactly the same as fancybox, but it is a lightbox, mobile-friendly, uses css transitions, and appears to be free for commercial use

Thanks! Can it be used to display iframes and other DOM elements (like div)? – Tzach Sep 13 '13 at 21:38

It looks like it has some support for that (video for example: http://brutaldesign.github.io/swipebox/#advanced). I don't know any more than you do though, check out the docs! – Jeff Escalante Sep 16 '13 at 18:49

Be aware, it's a jQuery plugin. Non-jQuery alternative licenced under MIT is https://github.com/blueimp/Gallery#lightbox-setup (which does NOT require jQuery, but can be also used as a jQuery plugin if needed) – jave.web Aug 20 '22 at 14:13
