We want snappy browsing these days; as soon as I request the next image, it should already be on the doorstep and shown immediately to me. It’s about smart preloading in the background when the user is busy looking at the image.

Galleria does one thing very good: it preloads the large images one by one, and as soon as the image is fully loaded, a thumbnail is presented and the image is immediately accessible to us. So every time you want to see the image - it’s already there. This makes the browsing experience incredibly fast and snappy.

• Unobtrusive javascript
• Degrades gracefully if the browser doesn’t support javascript or CSS
• Lightweight (2.5k compressed)
• Displays the thumbnail when the actual image is loaded
• Unstyled - create your own gallery style using CSS
• Super fast image browsing since the images are preloaded one at a time in the background
• Can scale thumbnails and crop to fit in thumbnail container
• Can be used with custom thumbnails
• Stylable caption from image or anchor title
• jQuery plugin - takes one line to implement
• Browserproof
• Can adjust the history object and enable the back button in your browser
• Can fire events so you can customize the images behaviour onLoad
