WHY ROBSHOTS?

A photo gallery that simply stays a gallery.

Robshots grew out of my own photo archive. The idea is simple: show and manage photographs on your own webspace without needing a large CMS, plugins or an external gallery service. The Free Edition packages that core idea as a standalone download.

What is included

Public photo gallery with lightbox
Password-protected private albums
English and German with browser detection
30-day Recently Deleted area with restore
Custom logo, colours and editable legal texts
One administrator with a simple control area

Deliberately not included

No CMS and no plugin dependencies
No external database configuration
No cloud requirement and no tracking
No AI features in the Free Edition

QUICK START

FTP. Installer. Done.

Extract the ZIP, upload the files to your webspace and open /control/install.php. The installer handles the gallery name, administrator, legal details and theme. PHP 8.1+, PDO SQLite, Fileinfo and Mbstring are required.

YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS

Feedback is explicitly welcome.

Robshots should stay lightweight, but it should not stand still. If you try it, I would genuinely like to hear what works, what is missing and where your hosting setup causes trouble. Real-world feedback is the best basis for future versions.
