CSS Photo Gallery wGrid - Gap Problem // Margin around images - html

Question

EDITED - 3x3 grid with NO GAPS solved (if images are all same size) Now, how would I do that for different sized images stored in my computer rather than online? Should I standardize the images' size BEFORE adding to code, or can is it best to resize them in HTML...I'd think CSS. When different sized images are included, how can I best get them all to the same size/dimensions? Object fit doesn't seem to do it.. The JS Fiddle and code has been updated to show the grid with one differently sized image causing problems.... From what I'd seen, a grid like the DOES NOT usually want width/height specified in the HTML but in the CSS?
I'm trying to put a 3x3 photo grid within a grid item (onearticles) which is the main content section for my website. Grid-gap, or just gap, for the gallery, is the issue. I don't know much about formatting images for web design yet, but even with this stock photo, the images have HUGE gaps between them. Please help!
I have the images in that 3x3 layout with the simple
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
and
grid-template-rows: minmax(100px, auto);
and have a tried a lot of other "responsive" variations, though, the problem persists. I don't think "onearticles" and the photo-gallery is inheriting any gaps from parent items, and I know I'll have to figure out a way to make all 9 images be the same size in their "grid," despite them not all having the same dimensions/sizes. As of now, its a repeated stock image, so same dimensions but that gap issue is the main problem
In posting the code in these different places, I see there can be a greater gap between the 1st and 2nd row than the 2nd and 3rd row because of the grid-template-rows: minmax(100px, auto); I could just switch it to auto to make those gaps vertical gaps the same, but I don't know how to parlay that into solving the overall gap issue....
My goal is to have the 3x3 photo grid to the left of wrapped text, which I don't think will be that much harder than just making the grid with NO gaps.
I've attached ALL my code below as well as a JS Fiddle. Thank you for the help and keep being awesome everyone!

Answer 1

Your question is a bit confusing but is that what you are looking for?
I simply removed the width and height of .gallery__img and removed the padding of figure.
