Photo gallery software ??

12 years 10 months ago #107270 by Cays Cove
Tried a search and didn't see much. I like to put together a website. Looking for suggestions of software for display of thumbnails/blowups to full size. Ideal would be if it could be password protected so that it can have a page that only the specific client can access. Maybe free or cheap too????

Thanks for any suggestions

I used to use php Photo Album. It seems to be ok for free. It offeres password protection, galleries, thumbnails. It also will show the info about the picture you can setup different users, with different permissions to view differnet album's.


I tried Copper Mine, but for what I saw, it didnt fit what I wanted, so I went back to php Photo Album.

I'm with Smugmug for my "Fine-Art" prints - there is a free as well as a Pro version, and I have sold about $120 worth of prints this year to people who found the pictures through a search, and so the Pro account has been covered at least for one year! It is pretty flexible as well. You can also set it up with your own URL.

I know there are also free Wordpress plugins that handle photo albums, but I haven't tried to use one.

In the past I've used a number of different gallery builders that you host on your own website. They worked, but in fact that was a lot of work. Using a hosting outfit like Flickr, Pbase, Shutterfly, Webshots, Zenfolio, etc is just a whole lot easier.
