Photographers and artists alike have several reasons for building a gallery website. It increases publicity for their work, it gives them a way to communicate with their fans, and it brings in sales or original work and prints. Because creating a gallery site is so simple, artists and photographers have every reason to do it. Thank you.

Hello Piwigo Community,

Piwigo 2.5 is available for download or upgrade! You can read the Full release notes of Piwigo 2.5.0, which includes many screenshots and details.

An advanced setting for protection of original photos was added, to make Piwigo an even safer place for your photos. Piwigo becomes more social with email and website fields for user comments. The external authentication with plugin oAuth let your visitors connect with their Facebook, Google, OpenID or Wordpress.com account (and many others). The new web API explorer will help developers to know how to communicate remotely with Piwigo.


In the Batch Manager, you can filter photos on dimensions (width, height and ratio)
