Demos of the basic gallery displays
The free version of NextGEN Gallery comes with a few templates that are perfect to help anyone start creating beautiful galleries on their site!
Below are demos of the gallery displays included with all NextGEN Gallery license levels.
Thumbnail
The Thumbnail gallery displays your images in a grid using the thumbnail sizes of the images. For more details on editing or creating new thumbnails, you can check out our guide here.
ImageBrowser
Next, we have our ImageBrowser display. This gallery display shows users one image at a time, and then they can navigate through the gallery using the arrow buttons at the bottom.
Slideshow
This display cycles through all the images in the gallery on a specified timer. Then the users can choose to view all the images as thumbnails!
TagCloud
The TagCloud display uses any tags you’ve assigned to your images and then displays these tags. Users can then click on one of the tags to view all the images with that specific tag.
