Major advantage of static HTML: no web server needed

The major advantage of a static HTML gallery is that you dont need a web server.

You can serve your gallery from any device. Directly from an USB stick, over WiFi from a smartphone, online from your NAS and naturally from any web server.

How to create a static gallery?

JustResizeIt!+ will create the index.html and all images needed for the gallery in a folder. When you add images, JustResizeIt!+ will add them to the folder and modify the gallery index.html accordingly. After creation or modification of the gallery, simply copy or synchronize the folder on any device like a USB stick, a smartphone or NAS.

To create a static gallery follow the next easy steps:

Setup JustResizeIt!+
Create a new widget, set to resize e.g. 1920x1080 and choose the folder where to save the gallery. Optionaly, use the other features for a more advanced setup.
Drag and Drop images
Your widget is now ready to receive new images whenever you want.
(Optionally) Copy or synchronize the folder with your SB stick, smartphone, NAS or even web server. See

How to create a dynamic gallery?

A simple gallery often has only one index.php file to copy, along with the images you want to be displayed.

To create a simple gallery follow the next easy steps:

Find a free gallery you like
Search the web for "single file gallery" or "image gallery folder"
(Examples: http://getpagemap.com/free-photo-gallery and http://sye.dk/sfpg/)
Dowload the file
Dowload the gallery file(s) and save them localy
(Examples: index.php in both examples)
Create a new gallery on your server
With an FTP client, create a new folder and copy the file(s)
(Examples: /galleries/trip_to_switzerland/ and copy index.php)
Setup JustResizeIt!+
Create a new widget, set to resize e.g. 1280x800 and to send the resized pictures to the server.
Drag and drop images
Your widget is now ready to receive new images whenever you want.

To add albums to existing galleries, either:

Create an additional folder and copy the gallery files (mostly index.php)
On some galleries, just add new subfolders
(Example: /galleries/ -> /galleries/marriage, /galleries/my_birthday,...)
