Gallery Factory Lite

Gallery Factory Lite is a WordPress plugin for managing image collections, creating albums and presenting them to the website visitors in modern, responsive and attractive way.

The main feature of the plugin is Gallery Manager, the ajax-driven interface which keeps almost everything that you need to work with your WordPress image gallery in one place. It allows to organise albums in multi-level folder structure using simple and intuitive UI, like in your favourite file manager.

The plugin offers three layouts to choose from: Grid, Metro, and Masonry. All three layout types can be edited using WYSIWYG layout editor.

This is the Lite version of the full-featured premium Gallery Factory plugin, which is available at CodeCanyon. Lite version is 100% forward-compatible with the premium version, so you can upgrade at any time.

• Adjustable column count for mobile gallery display;
• Lazy loading for thumbnails (loads thumbnails only when they’re needed, speeding up the initial page load);

• Custom thumbnail compression ratio
• Layout defaults: enable you to set the default layout options for the newly created albums;
