Description

6 responsive designs

Starting with a standard Bootstrap design you can get 5 more to make your gallery stand out Pinterest design, Elegant design, Polaroid design, Fancy design, and Classic design. The designs can be selected and configured in the global Settings or individually at a category level.

Photo, video, audio or mixed categories

Create Image, Video, Audio or Mixed (Images + Videos + Audios) categories to present information exactly as you need for your needs. Use popular images formats like JPG, PNG, GIF for pictures. Video can be uploaded as MP4 files or added as remote movies from YouTube or Vimeo. For audios you can use MP3, WAV, OGG file types.

Front-end manager

The easiest way to manage files online without going to Admin Panel. Very helpful for those users who are not very tech-savvy. While functionality for managing categories and files is almost identical to Admin version, Super User can limit Front-end Manager to certain categories.

Shortcodes

Place images or video files or even full galleries within posts or widgets on your website using Shortcodes. Add a layout shortcode inside a post or a widget to define a gallery object you want to place, use parameters to choose design and layout for the selected object.

Translation manager

Get a translation to any language for your FW Gallery website. Use Translation Manager in Admin Panel to download a language you need and correct translation to your taste and need. Select a language you need to translate to, add your translations based on English version, save, and you are done.
