Hey everyone!
I’m thrilled to announce that Prints v2 is officially released! 🎉
Prints has always been about simple, elegant image galleries that look beautiful out of the box. With this major update, Prints takes a huge leap forward with powerful new customization options, buttery-smooth interactions, and deep CMS integrations — all while keeping the effortless simplicity you’ve come to love.
✨ What’s New in Prints v2?
-
All-New Lightbox - Fully customizable with themes, colors, shadows, borders, blur effects, and more. It even supports keyboard and touchpad swipe navigation — and yes, you can use your arrow keys!
-
Dynamic Hover Effects - From subtle scaling to playful randomized rotation, hover effects bring your galleries to life.
-
Perfectly Responsive Grids - Portrait and landscape images now sit together beautifully with customizable sizing, spacing, and breakpoints.
-
Captions, Anywhere You Want - Show captions on thumbnails, in the lightbox, or both — and define them with alt tags or custom text. Total control.
-
Optimized for Performance - Only thumbnail images load initially. Full-size images load intelligently as needed — for a fast, smooth user experience.
-
Drag-and-Drop or Warehoused Images - Add images directly or use warehoused URLs. Even define both thumbnail and full image sources independently.
-
Built-In CMS Integrations - 🔗 Works seamlessly with Total CMS 3 for dynamic galleries, and Feeds for folder-based galleries on your server.
🧑💻 For Developers & Power Users
Prints v2 ships with a comprehensive project file full of real-world demos:
- CMS and Feeds integrations ready to copy/paste
- Gorgeous custom navigation buttons (including SVG support!)
- All image sizes, captions, and accessibility (alt text) are fully controllable
💰 Upgrade Discount for Existing Users
If you already own the original Prints stack, you qualify for a discounted upgrade to version 2. You’ve supported me in the past — and this is my way of saying thank you! 🙏
If you want a modern, flexible, and gorgeous image gallery that “just works” but also lets you go deep on customization, Prints v2 is for you.
Let me know what you build with it — can’t wait to see your galleries in action!
