QuickyPix project is thumbnail Web photo gallery software which features use of the underlying filesystem structure, meaningful URLs, and nicely-styled output.

QuickyPix is not for everyone. If you don't know anything about web and CGI applications yet want a kitchen sink of features in your web gallery, I recommend Gallery.

If you want a very small base for developing your own gallery software you might try Pix, on which QuickyPix was originally based.

Here are some key features of "QuickyPix":
Thumbnails

Album highlight with outset border
Movie thumbnails, with distinctive "movie" label

"Instant-on"

No import needed: add pictures simply by copying to the photo directory
Cached, on-demand image resizing

Meaningful URLs

Web hierarchy reflects file system hierarchy

The photo tree is untouched (except when editing metadata)

Cache data goes in a separate tree
Thus, you can easily backup the entire photo tree

Supported formats

jpg, png, gif, etc.; avi, mpg

Picture info

Image dimensions, picture-taken timestamp, movie length, codec, etc.

Metadata

album title, album comment, picture comment, album highlight

Admin mode

Resizing, rotating (including movies), transcoding, deleting, editing captions, changing highlight

Template engine using XHTML and CSS

Fluid-yet-aligned thumbnail arrangement (no tables)
Validated XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS
