Gallery CMS

A simple online gallery where the images are the database.

There are many programs and websites for managing your photos. But they all have a high level of lock-in. With Gallery CMS, all the data is stored using standard IPTC metadata instead of a database. If you bring your photos into another program/site, that data will go with it.

With Gallery CMS, you'll be able to share a rich gallery with content on any Internet connected machine with a file system (see [Requirements]).

This is not a replacement for a media manager. It's designed for small tweaks; things like mass-tagging and naming should be done elsewhere.
