This is very simple, lightweight but still much power full image gallery component i ever seen. Best features i liked are thumbnail, watermark, image comment to explain about image and THE MOST IMPORTANT is images can have different dimensions. So u need not break your head to make all images of same dimensions to view them properly. A small remark i would like to make is "During image slideshow, image name (not image file name) is added with description at the bottom of the image. I think only description should be displayed ". But this is not problem at all. Many thanks to for developers for such nice J15 component making available absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. I can not rate this component more than EXCELLENT. My apology

I have tried a number of Joomla photo galleries and have found all of them to be lacking in features or are very complex to configure. FW Gallery strikes a perfect balance. It provides the features that my clients need, without being overly difficult to use, which is important since most of my clients chose to maintain their own sites.
The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to resize thumbnails after they have been created. Other than that, I think it is perfect for my needs.
Keep up the great work!

A really great component for Joomla! photo galleries, very simple to use and now there are plugins to enable batch upload and lots of other features, I can see this becoming the gallery of choice.
The best thing in my opinion is that feedback is being listened to, with regular releases and improvements coming thick and fast - a great sign of a strong development team and reliable extension.

This is the best gallery I have ever used with Joomla! It has all the features. One suggestion, It'll be great if we can upload more than one image at a time. I mean the support for multiple image upload. Thank you for the great extension

It is possible now with FW Gallery Batch Upload Plugin. Thank you for your review.
I can't say enough about this component. I've struggled to find a decent photo galley in Joomla for a couple years. The FW Gallery almost exceeds all of my requirements. The most recent version, 1.3, is what really pushed it over the edge for me and this is now the component I am using to render photos in Joomla.
Thanks

This is a very simple gallery component, only suitable for showing one people's photo albem on his blog.
In my test, the worse is, the Lightbox in their Demo does NOT pop-up at all. There is NO option for Lightbox in parameters either.

Thank you for your reviews! We are glad you like it! We`ll correct soon the lightbox functions and let you know about it.
I just installed FW Gallery, had a few errors of me not reading completely, but within an hour had all my photos displaying correctly in my test site. I intend to use this for all my sites, now.
