Upload. Show off. Sell.
Photo gallery and photo shop for Joomla - free to start, Extended when you want it all.
Event Gallery is a photo gallery and a photo shop for Joomla. Every gallery is an event: a folder of photos on your server, in S3 storage, a Flickr album or a shared Google Photos album. Visitors browse it in the layout you choose and swipe through the photos in a lightbox made for phones. Buyers pick prints or downloads, see their quantity discount and order through the built-in cart and checkout. You run it all from the Joomla backend.
Don't let the name fool you: Event Gallery is a complete gallery component. Photographers sell event, sports and school photos with it; clubs, travellers and agencies show their pictures with it.
The next version is on its way - for the free edition and for Extended at the same time.
- A new frontend design. Calm, fast and the same under every template. Light and dark mode, and your own colours, fonts and corners with a small theme file. Dialogs open as sheets on a phone, the cart waits in a bar at the bottom, and every page works with the keyboard.
- A new backend. Every list and form rebuilt: search, filters, sortable columns, a short help for every setting - and every page works on a phone.
- Quantity prices at a glance. The format dialog and the cart show the price tiers, the tier the buyer is in, how many images are missing to the next one and what the buyer saves.
- Faster thumbnails. Made more than twice as fast, handed out in the size each page needs, as WebP where your server can.
- New editor buttons Extended Find an event or an image with a search, set the options in plain words, see what the tag will show - and every tag shows as a small card in the editor.

Event Gallery is free: the gallery, the sources, the cart and the checkout with the payment you settle yourself. Event Gallery Extended is a yearly subscription and adds more, whether you sell or not: galleries in your articles, six modules, Smart Search, upload on the site, whole Flickr and Google Photos albums - and for your shop PayPal, Stripe and the sale of downloads. Extended installs over the free edition - nothing to migrate. Your subscription pays for the development of Event Gallery.
