[[!meta title="Static image gallery generator comparison (FOSS)"]]
## Introduction
This document describes several static image gallery generators,
their advantages and disadvantages. All of them are FOSS and
have been tested under a Unix like operating system.
If you have any kind of update, do not hesitate to
[[contact me|about]]. I am using a downscaled sample directory
(**basis**) for testing.
I'm not referencing the navigation, but only "Next Image", because
this is probably the most often used navigation part.
## [cataract](http://cgg.bzatek.net/) (1.0.0)
* Next image: Click on image
* Output: Different directory
* Original image reference: links to original image (full size)
* Original image location: Originals are copied
* Image scaling: supported
* Exif: Supported
* Default design: Good usable
* Configuration: XML files
* Subdirectory index: No
* Other: Scrolling (middle mouse button) does not work
### Sample usage:
cp -r basis cgg-input
cd cgg-input
# create directory listing
cgg-dirgen > index.xml
cd ..
mkdir cgg-output
cgg -s cgg-input -o cgg-output/
## [igal2](http://igal.trexler.at/) (2.0)
* Next image: Link below and above image
* Output: Same directory
* Original image reference: Link from scaled image
* Original image location: .
* Image scaling: ***unsupported***
* Exif: ***unsupported***
* Default design: Very basic
* Configuration: Command line
* Subdirectory index: No
* Other: Automatic link to parent directory
### Sample usage:
cp -r basis igal2-input
cd igal2-input
igal2 --www
## [lazygal](http://sousmonlit.dyndns.org/~niol/playa/oss/projects/lazygal/) (0.5)

llgal --sx 1000 --sy 700 -R
# Create real world site
llgal --sx 1000 --sy 700 -R --exif --fe -L --li --title "Nico Schottelius' Photos" --www --lang en_US
