Event Gallery is a gallery component for Joomla!™. It allows you to upload and manage your image collection and display it with several layouts. It fully supports responsive web design and delivers adaptive images. Beyond this basic functionality, it offers the ability to sell your images directly on your website.
There are two versions available:
-
Event Gallery Core
A great way to get started! Includes the main component with essential features for personal use and smaller galleries. Perfect for trying out Event Gallery before upgrading.
-
Event Gallery Extended
The professional-grade solution for photographers and businesses. Enjoy unlimited cloud storage integrations, premium plugins such as Smart Search and the Content Plugin, plus payment options (PayPal, Stripe) — everything you need to turn your gallery into a revenue stream - or simply into a very nice gallery site. Your subscription directly supports the ongoing development of Event Gallery.
