jQuery is one of the most popular javascript client libraries. It was developed few years ago and became so much popular. It is very light weight in code and performs javascript actions very quickly in almost every browser. It makes the life easier if you are a front end javascript developer.

Image galleries are an important part of nearly every type of website. Specially photographers always need a gallery. There are many cool flash based galleries but here are a couple of jQuery plugins to convert your images into a nice looking gallery.

  1. GALLERIA

    Galleria is javascript image gallery written as a plugin of jQuery. It uses simple html list to load the images on by one into a larger canvas. The best thing of galleria is that, it can create thumbnails for you. It is very user friendly and can be implemented easily without much knowledge of scripting. Checkout a Galleria Demo

  2. jQuery Multimedia Portfolio

    Display your portfolio items in a horizontal gallery view. A very cool jquery plugin. It is Non obstrusive and accessible portfolio supporting multiple media. It supports photos, multimedia content like flv, audio mp3 etc. It can automatically detect extension and display images/snapshots according to it. Here is a quick screen shot. Click on it for demo and download.

  3. SpaceGallery - Jquery

    Animate your images and display them as a gallery in space effect. These images will look like if they are in 3d space.

  4. jQuery Slider Gallery

    Rotate your images in similar effect as on apple’s website. You can rotate images, product pictures or anything you like.

  5. jQuery jsGallscroll Plugin

    jQuery Gallery Scroller (jqGalScroll) takes list of images and creates a smooth scrolling photo gallery scrolling vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The plugin will also create pagination to allow you to flow through your photos.

Great collection of jQuery photo galleries. Only thing that I thought to add is the URI that changes with the use of the unordered list method of loading images. Not an issue with the search but still unattractive.

Good list. However, Galleria is the only one I am familiar with till no. Perhaps I should test others also. All I wish is the “web 2.0 gallery” that supports more user interaction with the gallery, like download, bookmark, send to friend etc. Anyone know such gallery please? Thanks.

Another problem is that it’s not really a Javascript image rotator, it’s a flash image rotator. It’s a good one, but not if you’re looking to avoid Flash.
