User Testimonials
[Submit your own testimonial]"Not long ago, I installed Gallery2 as a Drupal module on one of my web sites. I did it primarily because I wanted to see how it would stack up against the other image gallery software I use on my other sites.
I have to say that I am absolutely astonished at the impressive program that's been developed here. But the program is not the half of it. When I go to the forums, I see that the Gallery team has developed a "culture" that is open and willing to help people use and support this product. I am more impressed with the people who administer this program. Your willingness to help people who are just starting to use this program is commendable.
While I don't normally waste time with "warm fuzzys", I just wanted to recognize the people who make this program happen, not only for their great programming, but their outstanding people skills too.
Thanks!

"Thanks for Gallery. It´s a great product with many features and best of all - setup is really easy, you can´t do anything wrong. We (hitflip.de) use it for our internal gallery and are very happy with the product! Thanks to everybody who helped to create Gallery. Best regards, Peter from Germany" |
"I just wanted to pass on my thanks to all how have worked on this project as well as the many people who have contributed to this forum. A little over a year ago, I was asked to set up a photo gallery for our high school band so that those of us who were shooting pictures could put them in a single place that would all the students and parents to easily access them.
Since that time, the site has grown to include over 13,400 pictures sorted into may different album levels. We have five photographers shooting pictures at every show and in one month, I tracked over 8.5GB of traffic and over 287,000 page hits. The most popular feature is the ability for the kids to get together and run the slide shows on their home computers after the weekends shows.
Again, many thanks to all involved!

"I just downloaded an installed Gallery 2.
Can I just congratulate the team on creating a first class installation experience?
This was the best installation wizard I have used by far, easy to use, informative and with some superb features which enable people to install their gallery installation. It really does prove that spending the additional time on coding the install properly pays off. Very very well done!" |
"Hi Gallery2 developers.
Thank you all.
What a superb professional user oriented and smart set of PHP scripts.
What a great web photo album application you have produced.
Thank you," |
"Since this is the place for feedback, I just wanted to let any developers of Gallery2 that this is a great piece of software. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Mostly, it was easy for me to install (being better with cameras that php files.
The install was a pleasant surprise after dealing with some other 'automated' install programs, and the security warnings were a bonus.
I've been playing with it for a couple of hours and have a good grip on it, and I'm sure I'll have more questions and confusion along the way.
But for now, I can only say, "WOW"
Thanks!
Gallery ROCKS!" |
"Kudos to all of you developers,
Your product is great, the code is written brilliantly, and by reading
your weekly status I'm very impressed. It looks so professional! It
really gives me a new opinion on PHP (I got acquainted with PHP before
OO features made it in). It's the living proof that one can make real
industrial-strength applications with PHP. It's great!
I'm currently evaluating G2 to replace my huge photo and video
gallery, and I'm sure version 2.3 will convince me to switch, once the
flash videos are properly transcoded and rendered.
Thanks again, and keep the ball rolling!" |
"I just wanted to leave some feedback and say what a great piece of software Gallery 2 is. It has a very complete feeling feature set & the UI is very well considered, especially considering it's freeware.
Well done to all involved!" |
"Thanks to the developers for creating Gallery. It's a great piece of software and I am glad it is available for "free"." |
"Incredible! Such flexibility and Power is usually only found in expensive commercial packages. The installer was near perfect! Love it Thanks to your team for doing this – and the security is amazing." |
"The easiest, most precise installation instructions I have every encountered. Up and running in less than a half hour (maybe a few minutes longer due to wine consumption). Congratulations on an exceptional product.
Thanks once again.

"I want you to know how impressed i am with the Gallery2 Photo CMS. This is among the finest I've seen in Open Source Community. It's so simple to install and configure. Uploading images with Gallery Remote is very easy, and changing and editing themes are quite smooth. May your future endeavors be as successful as this one has been. " |
"I installed gallery 1.5.6 yesterday and integrated it into Mambo successfully. I was having trouble with getting the images to show but I kept troubleshooting. I searched your forums and looked at the FAQ and finally found the problem. I just wanted to post because I saw that a lot of people were having the same problem but they created a new post on it without researching it first. I just wanted to let you know that people ARE reading the FAQ and ARE reading the forums to find solutions and not just posting first. THANKS! You guys have a great product. I'm in the Air Force and it's going to be great having a gallery on my site that my family can check and keep up on my family without having to go to an external host like webshots or photobucket to get the pics. Thanks again." |
"I just downloaded and installed Gallery 2.2. Setup and installed was so easy for a newbie likes me. It was amazing. I love it, it's simple, very user friendly software. Now I can manage my personal gallery online.
Thank you for the wonderful program." |
"I used Gallery v1 several years ago when I was running a personal
photo album and I knew I would not be disappointed when I installed v2
for a new project yesterday. The package is fantastic--the default
theme is clean and simple, everything is laid out logically, and the
software doesn't waste my time with annoying quirks or an unintuitive
workflow.
You should be proud. You've created one of the finest, most polished
open-source products available." |
"I'm new to the comunity and I should agree with you guys. This tool is amazing.
I used to work with an ASP gallery that just gave me headaches.
Thanks!

"I recently installed your aplication on my site.
man.. THIS IS WILD ! The best & easiest image server utility I've met.
The auto install feature was probably magic.. because I set back, had
a soft drink, and smiled all the way to "Installation Successful".
Good stuff.
I know this utility is freeware, and I intend to donate soon as much
as I can afford to it.
I was *really* amazed by the simplicity of everything in it.
I'm not that "veteran" in webmastering - and believe me, I have found my love ^^
*Thank you sir for the hard work you put into it.*" |
"I'm still reeling over how simple it is to be so powerful, a wonderful tool. Many thanks." |
"This is genius. I was using yappa for a couple years, completely oblivious of gallery. Don't know what I was ever thinking =) And surprisingly the default gallery theme seems to make the most sense... [see here] Thanks, guys." |
"I just wanna thank the Gallery team for producing such a great product.
I want to particularly thank the principle developers -- bharat, mindless, and valiant -- who seem to put so much energy into making this product a living and breathing entity. It amazes me that they have the time to work on their day jobs, work on gallery code, and still have time to read the forum posts and help countless users out. (Also that someone in Switzerland can work so closely with people in California is impressive).
You guys are doing a bang up job!
