NextGEN Pro Photography Galleries for WordPress

NextGEN Pro and NextGEN Plus extend the NextGEN Gallery add-on for WordPress, which photographers, visual artists, and imaging professionals can use to organize and present photos. Galleries contain and display images; albums collect related galleries for users to view together.

Batch upload photos, import metadata, add or remove images, and rearrange their order. Photos can also be imported from a ZIP file or folder. In the WordPress editor, the Insert Gallery Window lets you make, manage, personalize, and place galleries or albums. A shortcode system is available if you prefer it.

Choose how visitors browse your photos

Gallery presentations include mosaic, masonry, tile, filmstrip, slideshow, thumbnail, imagebrowser, and other styles. Settings let you adjust dimensions, styling, timing, transitions, controls, and lightbox effects. Themes and animations provide further choices for each gallery.

Galleries adapt to phones and tablets, including Android and iOS devices. NextGEN Pro includes a fullscreen, responsive Pro Lightbox with mobile gesture support. Choose display and lightbox options to suit the way visitors will view each collection.

Organize and protect images

• Group images with tags that you can rename and manage.
• Apply picture or text watermarks.
• Protect gallery images from right-click and drag-and-drop downloading.
• Set permissions for who can read, edit, and publish galleries.
• Use backups, search, filtering, and social sharing utilities as part of gallery management.

Lightroom integration can sync with Adobe Lightroom and create galleries without requiring site updates.

Collect photo proofs and handle sales

Image proofing lets customers choose the photos they want to purchase, giving them a review and selection step before an order is completed. eCommerce supports selling individual images or complete galleries, with payment processing through Stripe and PayPal.

Offer digital image downloads or use automated print lab fulfillment to send prints to customers with zero commissions. Automatic tax calculations can calculate sales tax when required, and coupons let you offer discounts or incentives for gallery sales.

Set up a gallery process

Add NextGEN Gallery to WordPress, then create galleries and albums in its management tools. Upload or import photos, organize them with tags, pick a display style, and place a gallery or album in your content. Configure presentation, proofing, sales, delivery, and permissions to fit your workflow.
