WordPress Gallery Plugin Reviews

NextGEN Gallery was one of the first WordPress gallery plugins available, and has continued to be the most popular, by far, every year since. Take a look below at some kind words from our real users from WordPress.org.

Solid performance over the long haul

We’ve been using NextGEN gallery on one site or another for years now. Not only does it have a great feature set, but it is well maintained, always up-to-date, and we’ve had great success with any support inquiries over the years. I recommend it highly!

David G. Johnson

This is such a great plugin

This is such a great plugin, everything just works out the box and has many, many features and customizations available. It’s no wonder this is the most popular Gallery plugin available. Great job!

John Bradfield

Almost 17 years of Awesome and Easy!!!

My wife and I started a personal WordPress blog back in 2002, before our oldest daughter was born. We settled on NextGEN gallery because it was simple and easy for my wife to use, and it delivered a great experience for our friends and family.

After almost 17 years; countless server, database, WordPress, theme, and plugin updates; and many wonderful family moments shared, NextGen Gallery remains THE plugin of choice for sharing our favorite images with friends and loved ones around the world!

No other image plugin comes close

I have been using NextGEN Gallery since its first days ... Although there are quite a few other similar plugins for WordPress, their image management back end relies mainly on WordPress’ media management. NGG provides a far better organization of images with great ease. After the new team took over the development, there was a short period of hiccups but since those issues were cleared it continues to provide excellent platform for image management and presentation.

The Imagely team quickly and accurately responds to problem reports and occasional issues are addressed in a timely manner. Search but you will not find a better feature set in any image management plugin.

A Godsend

Best Photo Gallery Plugin

The free version is better than other paid photo gallery plugins. I went and purchased the Plus and Pro version of the plugin, and it’s even better. Imagely’s support staff is pretty responsive. I would consider it a must-have plugin if you’re going to have a photo gallery on your site.

Great Product, Support and Documentation

This product has it all. Before I bought I read reviews and researched their support. I’ve tried other photo WordPress plugins and services such as Smugmug, Zenfolio, and Squarespace. This is the closest to those services but I have complete control and so many options. Looking forward to many years ahead.

I’ve used NextGEN Gallery for as long as I’ve used WP

And it keeps getting better.

Fantastic gallery plugin

Many times when you download a plugin, it does almost what you want but not quite. NextGEN does everything I want, plus extra useful functions that I hadn’t even thought of but are extremely useful! Top job!

trevorstaats

Simple to use, looks great

It’s as simple as that. Powerful tool that accomplishes a lot without too much work.

alloquep

One of the best

Have used this gallery plugin since I first started with wordpress. It gets better & better.

Tried and True

This is the gallery plug-in I keep coming back to. I’ve tried others, but this one is my favorite. I like the interface. I did need to search for a tutorial to really hone some of the settings. But now that I have that, I have used this on several sites.

Best photo gallery plugin I’ve used

I’ve used a handful of equivalent plugins and this one has been the nicest to work with in terms of usability and what it does.

Simply the Best Gallery Plugin

I’d been reluctant to use NextGEN because for some reason, a while back, I remember negative reviews, things about speed, etc…

So we’ve been using Envira gallery ...but, it’s been getting slower and slower to the point of being unusable. ... the bottom line is their core programming for how gallery pages load, specifically Masonry, causes 30+ second page loads.

They also have ... too many frigging plugins (you want to do that? you need a plugin – you want mobile? another plugin, you want pagination, another plugin.) OMFG it was ridiculous. But the speed… SLLLOWWW.

So, reluctantly we knew we had to change our gallery plugin. NextGEN is the most widely used, so we bought the pro plugin and installed it. And WOW. Without ANY setting issues or trying to figure out anything, it immediately worked, and FAST – the exact sane gallery with exact same images loads INSTANTLY in NextGEN and takes 20 or more agonizing seconds in Envira.

So we did what was no small task and switched over 30 photo galleries on our event site over from Envira to NextGen. We haven’t looked back.

Had a question for their support and it was answered within a few hours.
Highly recommend it, you can’t go wrong for speed, features, ease of setup, etc.

Full Featured – Stable – Awesome!

I’ve been using nextgen for a long, long time. It has only gotten better with age. Super stable, easy to understand. Using this plugin makes your site look pro.

Speaking of “pro”, get it. A worthy investment if you take your photography seriously.

Total Lifesaver!!

I was in the middle of a client’s project when my previous gallery refused to allow compatibility on mobile for gestures!

NextGen is by far the easiest gallery to use, sort, re-style and organize. We will be using it as our default gallery plugin going forward.

The Gallery standard

Have been using Nextgen for over 10 years, works like a dream.

runestenseth

Excellent plugin. Just drag and drop.

It doesn't get any simpler than this!

sobroc

A trusted friend for many years now

Great plugin, free and simple. I’ve been using it for a long time and I think I will continue to use it for a long time. I recommend it.

Bafan

One of the best plugins ever!

I’ve tried a few photo galleries and this is by far the best I’ve used! Great product and support!

scottymanphoto

NEXTGEN You Rock!

I’ve used nextgen galleries for over 9 years now and in a word it is AWESOME. Userfriendly, great support and lots of flexibility. When you need a gallery for your WP site, use nextgen or nextgen pro!

kpkenealy

Awesome image gallery display

I have been using it for about 10 years; this plugin is awesome. I makes it easy to author, control and display professional image galleries. Indispensable for photographers, artists, etc. Thank you!!

Strategerizer

Best gallery plugin so far

So far, this is the best gallery plugin I’ve used. Currently I’m using it on 2 sites (more than 100 galleries) and it works without any troubles.
