Image-Gallery editor?

Wordpress Gutenberg editor has an Image-Gallery editor based on Javascript that manages uploads, inserts, and how the gallery is provided. Does anybody know if there is something similar we could use for our own CMS?gallery.pdf

Thanks a lot.

A few approaches...

1) The easy approach is use WordPress.

2) Or setup a WordPress dev site. Install code on this site. Debug how it works. Port the logic to your own CMS.

3) Look at any site + conceptualize how the site works. Develop logic from scratch for your own CMS.

4) Search for - jquery gallery plugins - which turns up many lists of top 20-50 gallery plugins.

#1 will be cheapest + quickest.

#2 + #3 will require much more time + budget to implement, so...

#4 might be fast, depending on feature set you require. Just install of few of these, looking for one which meets your requirements.

The approach you choose will be driven by time + money you have for your project.
Do you want to edit the image (Zoom, Crop, Color etc)? or edit the gallery?  If you want to edit the gallery, there are a good handful of javascript or jquery based galleries.

With some custom coding, you can combine these where you have
1) Image upload
2) Image repository
3) Edit image from repository and save it in a new location or as a different name
4) Image gallery editor where you select images from the repository

There is something to be said for doing this on your own and not installing a CMS just for this one option. Though a CMS may have other features built in that may make everything easier.

Hi all
Thanks for the help. As far as I can see, those are all (great) ways on how to display a gallery and not on how to manage a gallery with the uploading, positioning and so on within the browser.
Hi,

The revolution slider WP plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380
is a complete web WYSIWYG Drag & Drop editor that allow to do everything from upload image to page display, text, animation.
Everything is performed from the browser through the WP plugin interface.

See the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiDQO9TWlMI

To my opinion this is the most complete plugin for WP for slider and gallery.
I asked here https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29147022/Image-Gallery-editor.html?anchorAnswerId=42871113#a42871113, "Do you want to edit the image (Zoom, Crop, Color etc)? or edit the gallery?"

It would help us if you can detail exactly what you are looking for.  You didn't mention wordpress in your question and I just noticed that is one of your question tags.  All but one of the first set of options I provided has integrations with WP.  Typically, you will use WP to upload your images and other media.  Then the plug ins utilize the media gallery to place the images in the gallery.  The plug ins also can manage how the gallery is displayed.  In just about every WP plug in for a gallery I have seen, the gallery is created by generating posts and utilizing the featured image.

If you provide more details, we can give you answers that will be more tailored to your needs.  

You said, "Does anybody know if there is something similar we could use for our own CMS?"  When you say, "our own cms" are you referring to a Wordpress CMS, your own custom CMS or something else?  

If this is not Wordpress, what are you using for your back end? PHP, .NET, Node?

All of us have given you great options, if there is something about those options you do not like or not sure of, let us know those details so we can adjust to help you.
Sorry Scott, here to clarify. Our own CMS means a system we have build for our self and our clients. No Wordpress or any other CMS.
No, I do not need image editing.
I am also not looking for a plug-in that is just displaying the pics.

Attached you see what I am looking for. A tool that would offer me to upload images, manage the galleries, and displaying it — something like a TinyMCE or CKEditor for galleries.
