3D virtual art galleries you own
Own your art
Share your space
Build immersive 3D virtual galleries from your images with the open-source engine. When you’re ready to share, publish a permanent URL we host — no server setup, always online.
Real spaces, built by artists
A rotating look at galleries published on OpenVGal — step inside and walk through work from artists using it right now.
Made for anyone with work to show
If you have a body of work and a flat folder of images doesn’t do it justice, OpenVGal gives it a space people can walk through.
Painters & illustrators
Hang a series in rooms people walk through, not a flat grid of thumbnails. Your solo show, online and always open.
Photographers
Turn a project, editorial set, or print release into a walkable space visitors explore at their own pace.
3D & digital artists
Show renders, concept art, and digital pieces in a built environment that does the work justice.
Emerging artists
Give your first solo or group show a permanent home visitors can walk, not just a folder of files — a link that lands harder than a PDF.
Galleries & curators
Mount a group show or an online-only exhibition with a real address you can put on the invite.
Designers & makers
Walk clients through product, furniture, or architectural work in a space they can step inside.
From images to gallery in minutes
Upload your images
Drop folders of artwork into the browser-based builder. Each folder becomes a separate room — no account, no upload, runs entirely on your machine.
Generate the 3D space
One click builds rooms, lighting, frames, and navigation. Walk through the exact result in WebGL — what you see locally is what visitors see.
Publish when ready
Export the ZIP, claim a slug, and you have a permanent URL at openvgal.com/view/your-slug. Always online, served globally — or host it yourself.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
You own it
No platform lock-in. The engine is MIT-licensed and your gallery is yours to host anywhere.
A real URL
A permanent, linkable, indexable address — not a Dropbox share. Live as long as you subscribe.
Zero ops
We handle hosting, CDN, and TLS. Your only job is to upload a ZIP — if something breaks, it's our pager.
Open source
Same engine we serve, free forever. Inspect, fork, contribute, or walk away with your work intact.
How OpenVGal compares to other virtual gallery platforms
Kunstmatrix, Artsteps, Exhibbit, ArtPlacer, Shapespark and more, side by side on self-hosting, free tiers, portfolio limits and price — including where they beat us.
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.
