Common questions
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Visitors can walk through your gallery on a phone, a tablet, or a computer.
Do visitors need to install anything?
No. The gallery opens in the browser from a link, like any web page.
How long does it take?
A few minutes. Drop in a folder of images and walk through the result straight away.
What if I stop paying?
Your galleries stay online until the end of the billing period, then pause. You always keep your own copy to host anywhere.
Run the whole gallery on your machine. Pay only when you want the world to see it.
The viewer engine is lbartworks/openvgal — MIT-licensed, identical to what we serve. You can self-host forever, or hand publishing to us when sharing matters more than tinkering. Already hosting one? Add it to the showcase.
