An image gallery component for Joomla built for large collections: bulk upload, EXIF and IPTC metadata, custom image types and a front-end panel for users.
JoomGallery is an open-source gallery component developed by volunteers of the JoomGallery::ProjectTeam. Version 4 was rewritten from scratch for the Joomla 4+ architecture while keeping an interface familiar to users of older releases. It targets large collections: clubs, photo communities, photographers and image archives.
Features
- Handles collections of 10,000 images and more; management modelled on the Joomla articles manager.
- Bulk upload and a clear folder layout in the file system.
- Image types: original, thumbnail, detail and custom types; processed by ImageMagick or GD, formats jpg, png, gif and webp.
- Reads EXIF, IPTC and PNG-chunk metadata.
- Settings stored in the database, with configuration import and export.
- Front-end images load via AJAX to reduce server load.
- A front-end user panel where members create their own categories and upload images.
- Gallery search and filters with Joomla Smart Search support, a backend task manager and migration scripts from other galleries.
