01
Upload without fuss
Add one photograph or movie or a whole collection. Gecko keeps the workflow quick and the interface out of your way.
Fast. Furious. Beautifully kept.
Your media.
Finally at home.
Gecko is a fast, self-hosted online gallery for people who want their media library to feel effortless. Upload, sort, thumbnail and organise as many photographs and videos as you like — then present them beautifully.
Made for looking
Less interface.
More moments.
Gecko gives the images and videos room to breathe, with clean layouts, immersive viewing and a night shift that turns down everything except the media.
Built to disappear
Everything you need.
Nothing you don’t.
02
Organise your way
Sort media into categories and collections so even a large library stays calm, useful and easy to browse.
03
Smart thumbnails
Generate and refresh previews on demand, keeping browsing fast without compromising the originals.
04
Multiple themes
Choose a style, colour palette and typography that suits the collection rather than forcing every gallery to look the same.
05
Night shift
Switch to a rich, dark presentation made for evening viewing and photography with deep tones.
06
Self-hosted & lean
PHP, SQLite and a writable storage directory. No oversized stack and no external database server required.
You’re in control
A studio, not a dashboard.
Manage registrations, themes, colours, fonts, collections and the library from one clean workspace designed to stay understandable as your archive grows.
- Upload and manage media
- Create collections and folders
- Refresh thumbnail previews

The photograph comes first
Made to get out of the frame.
A focused viewer keeps controls subtle, supports keyboard browsing and gives every image a generous stage.

Small footprint. Quick start.
Three requirements.
One gallery.
Gecko keeps deployment deliberately simple. Put it on a PHP-capable server, make the storage directory writable, and let SQLite handle the library.
