Simple static gallery generator
Project description
Sigal is yet another simple static gallery generator. It’s written in Python and it allows to build a static gallery of images with the following features:
Process directories recursively.
Generate HTML pages using jinja2 templates.
Relative links for a portable output.
Support themes, videos, EXIF tags, zip download.
MIT licensed.
The idea behind Sigal is to ease the use of the javascript librairies like galleria. These librairies do a great job to display the images, Sigal does what is missing: resize images, create thumbnails, generate html pages.
Sigal is currently compatible only with Python 2.
