Envira is highly optimized for web and server performance because we understand the importance of speed when it comes to SEO and conversion.

= Drag & Drop Gallery Builder =
We were tired with the bloated and buggy gallery widgets. That's why we built Envira to adapt to your workflow and allow you to create in minutes. By using our easy to use drag and drop builder, you can upload your photos, rearrange them, and basically create an image gallery in 5 minutes or less.
You can also add gallery blocks built for the new WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg block editor.

= Mobile Ready, SEO Friendly and Optimized for Speed =
Envira is 100% responsive and mobile-friendly by default. We optimized every query on the front-end and the back-end to ensure maximum speed.

= Easy to Customize and Extend =
You can easily customize with our built-in Wordpress templates and layouts or create your own.
But we also knew that our developer friends may want to extend it further. That's why Envira comes with tons of hooks and filters (and yes it's all very-well documented).
> Most WordPress gallery options are either too basic or require a PhD to figure out. For my clients, I need something that is easy to use yet powerful. Envira is the answer. Its straight forward approach means it is a breeze for my clients to quickly create galleries. Nevertheless, with the API and documentation available, it also allows developers to make customizations and extend functionality when necessary. Simply put, Envira is a great tool for everyone's tool chest.
