What You Get
SEO URL Rewriting
Clean paths like /portfolio/wildlife-photography-c123 replace ugly query strings. URL masks let you customize the pattern for files and categories separately.
JSON-LD Structured Data
Galleries emit ItemList schemas, individual files emit ImageObject schemas. Google uses these for rich image search results with upload dates and thumbnails.
Open Graph Social Tags
og:url, og:image (300x200 thumbnail), og:title, og:description render on every gallery and file page. Facebook and LinkedIn preview cards look clean automatically.
Auto Meta Description
Auto Meta Description
Meta description fills from file or category descriptions, meta keywords extract from tags or title words longer than 3 characters. Manual overrides always respected.
Image Alt Text Masks
Dynamic alt attribute generation using masks with {site}, {file}, {category} variables. Every image gets a descriptive alt tag without manual entry.
Dimensions in URL Path
Dimensions in URL Path
Image URLs can include dimensions as path segments (w300h200) for semantic sizing. Different gallery views get correctly sized images without query-string ugliness.
