Sigal - Simple Static Gallery Generator

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.

• Parallel processing.

• MIT licensed.

The idea behind Sigal is to ease the use of the javascript libraries like galleria. These libraries do a great job to display the images, Sigal does what is missing: resize images, create thumbnails, generate HTML pages.

Sigal requires Python 3.8+.
