EPiImage

EPiImage is an award winning, free module that provides image scaling functionality, as well as two new property types: EPiImage Property that extends “URL to image” with a preview, and EPiImageGallery Property that provides a editor friendly way to add pictures to a gallery including drag and drop sorting, drag and drop adding of images from the file action menu (including whole folders), description texts, links etc.

For a quick 2 minute intro to EPiImage check out this video:

It consists of 5 parts:



The resizer provides fast image resizing with caching.


The EPiImageGallery property in edit mode. With drag and drop adding of images straight from the file action menu.

Another sample user control for rendering EPiImageGallery Properties: EPiImage Gallery Grid

Known limitations
