SIMGallery is the only (yes, ONLY) Joomla gallery system that was developed specifically with communities in mind, and is integrated seamlessly with Community Builder or JomSocial.

Tired of all the galleries extensions out there that provide tons of features that 90% of users don't need? Looking for a component that allows your users to upload and share their own photos, but every "solution" you found requires hacking, modifying, or compromises certain functionality? I know I am, which was why I created SIMGallery.

You do not need to hack / modify / slash / set it on fire in order to have a community-driven gallery. If you have a community site and is looking for a way to allow your users to manage their photos, SIMGallery is not only your best choice, it is your only choice! SIMGallery looks and works EXACTLY like Facebook's photos, with even BETTER features!
