Creating a gallery

Setting up a gallery takes four steps: create it, add your photos, make it yours, and publish. Here's the whole flow.

From the Galleries page, click New gallery. (You can also use the New gallery button on your home dashboard.)

Fill in:

  • Gallery name: what you'll call it, like Sarah & James Wedding. You can change this later.
  • Event date: optional, but handy for keeping galleries sorted.

Click Create gallery. CoreHue opens your new gallery with one starter chapter called Featured, ready for photos.

2. Add your photos​

In the Chapters tab, click Add media (or drag photos straight onto the page) to upload. Photos go into whatever chapter you're viewing.

The first photo you upload automatically becomes your cover. You can change the cover anytime from any photo, or from the Layout tab.

Want to split the gallery into sections like "Ceremony" and "Reception"? Add more chapters from the sidebar. See Chapters and Uploading photos for the details.

3. Make it yours​

Open the Layout tab to design the gallery. A live preview updates as you go, and your changes save on their own.

You can choose:

  • A theme to set the overall look
  • A cover layout
  • Colors and typography
  • The photo grid size and spacing

Full details are in Design and themes.

4. Set up sharing and access​

Open the Settings tab to decide how the gallery behaves. Here you'll set the gallery's link, choose whether it needs a password, turn downloads on or off, and more. See Sharing and access and Downloads.

5. Publish​

When everything looks good, click Publish and confirm. Your gallery goes live, and CoreHue takes you straight to the screen for sharing it with your client.

tip

You don't have to finish everything in one sitting. A gallery stays in Draft: visible only to you, until you publish it.
