I was about to write some image gallery generator, probably in php or bash. Before I start coding, I type “gallery generator” in google and as expected, there’s already a few gallery generator available. No need to re-invent the wheel. The one that I tried, igal seem’s to produce what I’d intent for when I planned to write such a script. It was in Perl and used ImageMagick, which I already have in my system. Using it is easy. Just download the tarball. Some installation with make and then just type igal in the directory where your images exist. It will generate the HTML pages with all the thumbnails. Then I just upload the directory to my website.

Some other generators in PHP and Python also available.

• http://www.amk.ca/python/code/gallery - Python and need Python Imaging Library
• http://zgal.sourceforge.net/ - Perl but PHP port also available as agal.
• http://www.nobugs.org/developer/gallery/ - also Perl and use ImageMagick
