Minigal Nano WP is a very simple image gallery. It adheres to the KISS principle and is very easy to install. Minigal Nano WP does not have a web admin interface: You just upload your images in the photo folder on your server (using FTP, SFTP…). It only requires php and GD (no database, no special libraries like PEAR or ImageMagick).
Minigal Nano WP uses a javascript Lightbox (Use left/right arrows for navigation), but it degrades gracefully if javascript is disabled.
Minigal Nano WP is based on <a href="http://www.minigal.dk/minigal-nano.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Thomas Rybak’s</a> version which seems to have been abandonned in 2010.
This plugin is based on the work of <a href="https://github.com/sebsauvage/MinigalNano" rel="nofollow ugc">SebSauvage</a> who took over the project. It adds new themes and icons, use more modern html/css, updates JS libs, and wants to be more community pull-friendly for the future.
<h3>Features</h3>

Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes – NextGEN Gallery


We recently had a plugin conflict with Rank Math, but we were able to get a prompt response from support letting us know that our issue has been identified and will be fixed in the following update.


Support is responsive


Great plugin, except for one part.The "Manage Album" page gets really slow with many albums. We have 612 albums and 2491 galleries. And it takes a few minutes to load.But luckily the functions are quite accessible within our own plugin, therefore we don't use the official backend anymore. 



The support is helpful and fast.


Great plugin and easy to customize


I'm a long time Nextgen gallery user, so the latest major update under the Imagely brand came as quite the shock.



Generally, the esthetic changes aren't bad, but it's pretty buggy and important functionality has been removed. I'm not going to list all the problems here, but if things do not improve over the next couple of updates, I'm seriously going to look for alternatives.


Latest version under Imagely brand is a disappointment

The most popular gallery plugin that lets you create galleries and albums in seconds.
