Kind of nice, but I don’t like Gallerys at all.

:D

The CSS one looks nice.

Another script: Link [www.ibegin.com]

Link [www.ibegin.com]

Personally I use Flickr to archive all my photos and recently I came across this script from naggle.com which provides a beautiful gallery with seamless integration with the Flickr API. Link [www.naggle.com]

An example of the gallery on the site which uses the same script is here: Link [www.naggle.com]

That’s another PHP gallery script which can be added to the list:: Link [andyydev.com]

If you are in a hurry or don’t want to mess with too much code, check out this handy little app based on Lightbox2: Link [pranas.net]

2 others lightbox-like that can show single image, multiple images, inline content, iframed content, or content served through AJAX :
- SmoothBox : Link [gueschla.com]
- SqueezeBox : Link [dev.digitarald.de]

You missed one: Link [imagin.ro] , very powerful and complex …

Lightbox is defenitly the way to go if you want the ability to show a thumbnail and provide the visitor a nice, clean and intuitive big image of it.
Thanks for this useful post!

What about Scott Schiller’s 35mm Photo Viewer:
Link [www.schillmania.com]

I think his is really cool, works very well. Always been a fan of his work.

Very Thanks!
ขอบคุณมากครับ

Thak you for this post. I realy need, all of them in one place.

you might also consider Link [www.oscandy.com] you can have both Lightbox & Smoothgallery on the same page without any conflicts.

great post as usual, guys. thanks for the effort!

2 Good works in the same day!!!
Keep going!!!!

Here is a neat flash gallery, but i costs money =(

Top stuff again Smashing Magazine - great list

this is perfect for my next gallery :) thanks smashing magazines

Hi: I ran into yet another gallery solution last night called simpleviewer. Free for personal use, very easy to use (even for the technodolt) and very neat presentation with easy navigation. There is a version that integrates very well with Picasa2. Using the Picasa version means you don’t even have to create your own thumbnails. If you add captions to your Picasa gallery, these are included with the gallery images. If you don’t add captions in Picasa, the image file names are displayed instead. Captions are better. :)

Ive tried most of these galleries but the one I keep going back to now isnt on this list

have a look at Photostack

Link [photostack.org]

Same post as Drweb (german web magazine) wrote a month ago? :-) Have a look: Link [www.drweb.de].

here’s another flash gallery

Link [www.picsengine.com]

Great list, thanks. I’ll check them out. Some of the screenshots are a bit confusing though - it’s hard to see where the screenshot starts and your content ends.

Thanks for putting this list together, handy having a list of galleries, slideshows and lightboxes all in one place.

great scripts for web albums,
thanks…

Hi,
you forgot the brand new complete JS-PHP personal gallery solution, the Link [ondras.praha12.net]! :)

See my sample installation at

Hi,

Any idea how to use one of these image galleries for my wordpress blogging site Link [www.talentshakes.com].

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Nick.

Hey.. it’s very nice to see all good image galleries in a single page.. i was searching for a good image gallery to use in my site.. thanks to smashing magazine..lots of million thanks to you…

that is cool! thanks a lot

Here is another one I’m working on:

DEMO: Link [www.magnusottosson.se]

CODE: Link [dev.magnusottosson.se]

Hey you forgot LightWindow, the boosted Lightbox
Link [stickmanlabs.com]

Thanks pals , actually , i was looking out for a nice gallery i could use up .

Gallery by menalto , was actually , very heavy and sucks from root .

Found , phpgraphy to be useful .
Anyway , nice post and thanks .

@ Mark

Agree…simpleviewer is a great product.

Link [www.airtightinteractive.com]

No love for Link [paularmstrongdesigns.com]?????

Thanks so much for this all in one place! Exactly what I’ve been craving.

Link [gobekdeligi.com] is a Javascript flash movie (Youtube, Metacafe, etc.) player with Lightbox effect. You should take a look at it.

Or you could just drop doing the JavaScript yourself and use a 100% declarative library like the one in my sig.
;)

.t

Dont forget Link [www.flickrhelpr.com]. CSS, AJAX, using your flickr photos.

i really love the way u round them up, gr8 job guys.
keep it up.

Great list SM.

I used to keep track of galleries scripts at delicious. Now I need to keep just one link :)

thanks again.

thanks for the nice thematic link collection. would pick something of these for the next client projects.

A great alternative to Lightbox is Link [www.dolem.com]. It does not really on any JS library and produces the same effect as the original (better in my opinion).

This is a great list, thanks for compiling it.

Here’s another: Link [www.bigfolio.com]

Good one, galleries can be useful at times especially for projects etc

Thanks for posting them :)

I came up with another solution that is in beta right now: imgStack. Display a sequence of images in a area of your website, users can click through it with an unobtrusive fading interface. Super-easy to use: Link [tint.de]

Hi !
Niiiiiiiiiiiice article !
I made this gallery for my association, using a flickr account ( usefull for low space hosting ) and i released it under GNU/GPL licence:
Link [allviewer.mat-b.info]
I’m using lightbox and the same display of zenphoto …
Well, it’s still under beta version but it’s working fine ( here is an example: Link [marseille.afev.org]

Thx ! And keep on offering us such goood articles !

Very very useful list.
Many thanks!

Same post as Drweb (german web magazine) wrote a month ago? :-) Have a look: Link [www.drweb.de].
But nice to have this post in english now ;-)

Nice article. My recommendations goes to Zenphoto. I’m using it and I’m completely satisfied.

Hey, you really should try this light script for your gallery :

Link [www.chez-xuxu.net]

It’s french, light (very light) :)

These aren’t bad at all. I like most gallerys that use any form of jquery, ajax, etc.

I prefer to use highslide: Link [vikjavev.no]

Hey, my gallery script is missing :-) Link [codeboje.de] Comments welcome

Too bad that this nice list is quite too late

the “previous - “next” links doesn’t work in the AgileGallery!

Is this a bug? Does anyone knows how to fix this.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know about a new image hosting service i just found: Link [www.onedump.com]

Seems like a good and fast service,

enjoy

Great list of slideshow thank.

I’ve written an Image Gallery for Flickr based on Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org), JavaScript and CSS. It has a bunch of cool features, including intelligent pre-loading of images , fade effects and much more.

It’s open source, and it’s only dependency is the Dojo toolkit.

See Link [shaneosullivan.wordpress.com] for more information.

Hi, just passing through try this gallery also,
very customizable free for private use
expose 4 works with joomla also standalone flash

Link [www.slooz.com]

thanks for sharing these useful galleries!

This article is an eye opener as I have been a lightbox user for a while now. I will be looking over alternatives you mention as some of the screenshots look very interesting.

Excellent list !!!!
The jQuery solution is a killer lightbox solution.
I´m blogging about it ok ?

regards

Very good list ! Thanks.

Thanks for this wonderful compilation.

Here’s another lightbox photo gallery script. Not really “another” thought, it’s quite unique. Since it is YUI based, it has great compatibility across browsers.

Sorry my bad. There was a delay before the comment shows up. Can moderator please delete comment 64 and this one?

The great thing about these scripts is that you don’t have to use them as galleries that are traditionally thought of. The SmoothGallery can be used as a rotating header. I have used it that way before. You can hate galleries all you want, but if you look at them as another way to present graphics in general or use differently they can become a whole lot more than galleries.

Thanks for this. It was extremely helpful.

No mention of what I think is the best, easiest to implement gallery around. Made by the brilliant folks over at Link [www.dezinerfolio.com]. It’s a flash/xml based gallery - you can see it in action here at a gallery I made for my fathers work.

Link [www.ducktrapphoto.com]

I have just added three new image widgets to the Dojo ajax toolkit, a Slideshow, a ThumbnailPicker, and a Gallery. Using Dojo’s data stores, they can display images from Flickr, Picasa, or just your own pics. Check out the blog post at Link [shaneosullivan.wordpress.com]

Heres the gallery to put all these little beginner galleries to shame

Hi,

I was just wondering if i can create a gallery which would be feeded by an album in picasa. I.e when i update it it automatically updates. It could be made with the rss feed of picasa.

I want then to embed it into my webpage: Link [www.hec.ca].

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

ilias,

I didn’t see a gallery built on the YUI framework. Link [nicora.net] is a nice application that could be added to this list.

Link [nicora.net]

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for including my CSS showcase thingy in your line-up. Again I am honored and appreciative.

Very nice set. Thanks!

All these scripts display images from album statically.. i m looking for scripts that display images from RSS Feeds… I want to display images from flickr like site …!! Any idea ???

I like this galleries very much. Pretty handy! ;)

Lovely image galleries, these increase my workflow.

Many Thanks

Magic Zoom is another tool to add to your list, particularly for showing high res versions of product images.

This site would be great if it wasn’t for all the extra graphics on the side bar that slowed it down considerably.

check out our gallery…

Hi,
I’ve write a script that is directly create your gallery from a directory.

This script’s name is ilksen-Hermione.

More Specifications:
Some IPTC data supported.
It will directly create your gallery from a directory.
Thumbnails are creating automatically with GD Library.
Resized versions can specify.

Requires: PHP and GD Library. No setup required.

My photoscript is not that leightweight…it’s a bit more complex than most mentioned solutions, but it also offers a lot of possibilities (like a combination of photoblog and gallery, exif support etc).
I wish this list would have existed 5 years ago, would have saved me a lot of work ;-).
Anyway, my script is named Sylverblog and is also released :
Link [www.sylverblog.com]

Link [www.frontpageslideshow.net] by Link [www.joomlaworks.gr] originally started as a Joomla! only extension but now there is a standalone version which can be integrated into any php based website or CMS, including Wordpress or Drupal. Related demos are available on Link [www.frontpageslideshow.net].

What separates Frontpage Slideshow from the rest is that a) it uses templates and comes prepacked with 8 (more added as versions progress) and b) it utilizes 2 different slideshow engines based on jQuery and Mootools (thus providing alternatives in case of javascript conflicts). The templating of the slideshow relies solely on CSS coding and anyone can create their own template pack and use it within the slideshow.

Enjoy! ;)

Thanx this is a greate site.
I like the smooth gallery. (java script)

Hi,
Really wonderful collection. Awesome.

Best Regards,
Link [shubhamoy.wordpress.com]

i’ve been usign light box that’s cool.
JonDesign’s SmoothGallery and Cross Browser Multi-Page Photograph Gallery are also attractive.

Can some one help me with this effect:

Link [www.ilovedesign.com]

iGall generator gives few lines of code you need to include in your HTML, no need PHP, or ASP, works everywhere where is Javascript
And Link [elp.euweb.cz] is a link

Very very good archive.. Thanks.. great..

Would like a gallery that looks like piclens, with all its 3d animation, but totally on my site, no external links, no messing with rss feeds and does not require the user to have a piclens enabled browser, ie totally browser independent. Anyone got any ideas, one for the developers perhaps.

I just updated my own Mediabox script to the latest Mootools 1.2 library…

mediaboxAdvanced (http://iaian7.com/webcode/mediaboxAdvanced) now supports 13 different social videos sites, flash video, audio, animation, inline and external HTML content, images, gallery sets, and title::caption formatting, among many other updates.

It’s fast, conforms to the original Lightbox syntax standard, and is easily styled using CSS. What more can I say? I use it on my own sites!

super thank you

Link []

Nice articile

Sorry, but this list is complete crap. I went through each and every one of those scripts without finding a good one that does:
* NOT show a 5 second “loading” message between each image (like ALL these ajax/lightbox ones does.. Whatever happened to preloading?! )
* Offer a slideshow ability
* And transition effects, just a simple fade would do.

If anyone can offer me a link to a script that does the above I would it would make those 30 above completely obsolete!
-stfn

Thanks for this, it really help me!

steffn: I have experience only with minishowcase gallery and I must say it is really fast (even on slow network connection at work) and it offer slideshow.
