Simple Image Gallery

Adding image galleries inside your Joomla articles is now super-easy and simple, using the magical "Simple Image Gallery" plugin for Joomla.

The plugin can turn any folder of images located inside your Joomla website into a grid-style image gallery with cool lightbox previews. And all that using a simple plugin tag like {gallery}myphotos{/gallery}.


So for example, if we have a folder called "my_trip_to_Paris" located in images/stories/my_trip_to_Paris, then we can create our gallery by simply entering the tag {gallery}my_trip_to_Paris{/gallery} into some Joomla article.

The galleries created are presented as a grid of image thumbnails. When your visitors click on a thumbnail, they see the original image in a lightbox popup. The thumbnails are generated and cached using PHP for better results.

So let's briefly see the main advantages of using Simple Image Gallery on your Joomla website:

  • you don't need to have an additional gallery component to display a few images,
  • you don't need to tell your visitors "to see our photos from Paris click here" and
  • you focus more on content writing and less on administering the images!


The plugin is ideal for news portals wanting to display some product images, for example, inside their articles. Or for people who quickly wanna show their summer vacation pictures. With Simple Image Gallery, you can have as many galleries as you want inside each article.

Since v3.6.0, the image gallery grid can be printed when using the print preview feature available in most Joomla components (including the default article system component and K2).

Please note that if you want to create a gallery from a subfolder located inside your "image gallery root folder", simply adjust the plugin syntax to reflect the remaining path (after your set "root folder"), e.g. {gallery}folder/subfolder/othersubfolder{/gallery}. Make sure you write the path to your target folder without any slashes at the beginning or the end of your path.

As of v4.0.0, Simple Image Gallery is also compatible with the upcoming Joomla version 4 release (currently in "beta").

You can see a demo of the plugin here: https://demo.joomlaworks.net/simple-image-gallery

Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.7.0 released

Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.7.0 is now available to download for subscribers. This new release introduces 2 additional popup engines (modals) and improves compatibility with K2 v2.10.x.

Here's what's been added or changed in Simple Image Gallery Pro with the release of v3.7.0:

  • Added Strip & Lightbox2 to the list of supported popup engines (modals). Strip allows for displaying your galleries on the right side of the available viewport and it's ideal for product display/presentation or e-commerce websites. Lightbox2 is the original Lightbox script updated for the modern web by its original author, Lokesh Dhakar.
  • Updated Fresco.js to its latest release. Additionally, the Fresco.js specific attributes on each gallery layout link are now removed as they are appended dynamically using JS (so older gallery layouts can work fine as well, without any modifications). Fresco.js is now also fully open source which means there is no watermark on the popup/modal.
  • LightView now supports captions as well.
  • Improved compatibility (and performance) with K2 v2.10.x which was released mid November 2019. Especially for anyone still on Joomla 1.5 and K2 v2.10.x, we highly recommend you update to resolve JS conflicts between K2 and SIGPro in the item edit form.
  • Fixed a bug where SIGPro's K2 plugin would accidentally trigger upon saving a K2 category in K2 v2.10.x.
  • In the backend component, SIGPro's media manager (elFinder) has been updated to the latest release (v2.1.50).
