Instant Gallery Maker

Thanks to the Internet, pictures can be shared with anyone and anywhere. If the available web sites do not satisfy your needs, you can create your own gallery. With Instant Gallery Maker, you can do this, without needing to know anything about code writing. In a few simple steps, it will create your gallery, with all the HTML files and thumbnails, neatly organized in a folder on your hard drive.

The software is free to try, without restrictions, but after a 30 day trial period, you will have to buy a license. Until then, you can download it in less than a minute, due to the package's small size (4.18 Mb). After a brief installation process, you can launch the software and get started right away.

Instant Gallery Maker is designed like a wizard, which means that it will guide you from start to finish. Navigating through its steps can be done via Next and Back buttons or you can jump to any step by clicking the labeled button on the upper part of the interface. Images can be loaded in a list, like in any other software by browsing for them in the interface or by clicking and dragging them. Once loaded, their order in the list and crop alignments can be changed and they can also be rotated. During the next step, you can choose one of many gallery themes. They are found in a long list on the left side of the interface and a preview will be displayed on the right.

A selected theme can be edited in the Options section. The options found here will help you set the images and their thumbnails to a certain size, edit the size of table columns, their layout and borders and more. Like in the previous step, a list of settings can be found on the left side, and the settings themselves can be made on the main area on the right, with the aid of simple tools, like check boxes or drop menus. Although you will not need to write any code, Instant Gallery Maker will still provide an HTML template in a built in text editor. A series of navigation tabs will display the code for the index and image pages, the frames, as well as CSS code and custom tag parameters.

The gallery will not take long to generate and you can open the output folder or the gallery itself (in your default web browser) with simple clicks on the buttons which will appear after the process is complete. If you do not want to make the same settings in the future, the project can be saved as a file, during the last step of the wizard, and it can be loaded at a later time.
