What it does
Building a gallery with dozens or hundreds of photos usually means selecting and uploading files in small groups, then waiting and repeating. For photographers and anyone with a large media collection, that gets tedious fast. This addon gives Envira Gallery a bulk import option: you zip up a folder of images on your computer, upload that one archive, and the addon unpacks it and places the images into your gallery.
Because it works as an extension of Envira Gallery, your existing gallery styles and settings stay in place, and imported images display in the same responsive layouts as the rest of your galleries. The addon reads Envira's list of supported file types, so it handles the various image formats Envira accepts inside the archive. It suits photographers, bloggers and business owners who add photos in large batches and want gallery setup to take less time.
Best for
- Photographers uploading full shoots to client or portfolio galleries
- Bloggers who publish large photo sets with their posts
- Business sites using Envira Gallery with big image collections
Features
Single ZIP file upload
Upload one ZIP archive containing an entire folder of images instead of selecting and uploading each photo individually.
Bulk image import
Handle large batches of photos in one step, which helps sites with extensive image libraries or frequent photo shoots to publish.
Automatic unpacking into galleries
The addon extracts the images from the archive and organizes them into your chosen Envira gallery for you.
Keeps your gallery settings
Works as an integrated Envira Gallery extension, so imported images follow the styles and settings already configured for your gallery.
Responsive gallery display
Imported images appear in Envira's responsive galleries, so they display properly across different devices and screen sizes.
Support for multiple image formats
Accepts the different image file types that Envira Gallery supports when they are packed inside the ZIP archive.
Simple to use
The import process needs no technical knowledge: zip your photos, upload the file and let the addon add them to the gallery.

Questions about ZIP Importer Addon
Do I need Envira Gallery to use this addon?
Yes. The ZIP Importer Addon is built as an extension for Envira Gallery and adds its bulk ZIP import option to Envira galleries, so you need Envira Gallery running on your site.
Will imported images match my existing gallery design?
They will. The addon works within Envira Gallery and keeps your existing gallery styles and settings, so images brought in from a ZIP file display the same way as images you add manually, in responsive layouts.
What image types can I include in the ZIP file?
The addon supports various image formats and checks file types against Envira Gallery's own list of supported types, so any image format Envira accepts can be included inside your archive.
Is this useful if I only add a few photos at a time?
It is most helpful when you add many images at once, such as a full photo shoot or an event album. For a handful of photos, Envira's regular uploader works fine, though zipping a folder can still be a convenient habit.
Is ZIP Importer Addon free?
The code of ZIP Importer Addon is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of ZIP Importer Addon is this?
Version 1.2.6, released Feb 8, 2024. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update ZIP Importer Addon?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of ZIP Importer Addon automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
