Welcome to minishowcase
minishowcase is a small and simple php/javascript online photo gallery, powered by AJAX/JSON that lets you put easily your images in an online gallery, without having to configure databases or changing and customising code (though you may do it if you feel so) allowing to have an up-and-running gallery in a few minutes.
While here, you can check all the gallery features, get some information on minishowcase, know about all the releases, watch some screenshots of the gallery, » watch a demo gallery, share issues with the community , or just download the current release.

Screenshots
01. The gallery automatically searches your /galleries/ folder and builds the gallery main menu
02. When you select a gallery, the thumbnails are generated on-the-fly and presented on a thumbnails menu, without having to reload the entire page
03. When you click on a thumbnail from the menu, the selected image is showed in a lightbox-like screen. From there you can still navigate to ther images either with the arrows or with the generated thumbnails.
