Meow Lightbox is a Lightbox for WordPress made for photographers, by photographers.

Meow Lightbox is a Lightbox for WordPress made for photographers, by photographers. It displays EXIF information nicely (title, description, camera, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc), while looking awesome, being fast and light.

Standard

The free version of the Meow Lightbox is usually enough for most, and does probably everything you are looking for.

Simply beautiful

We focus on one layout that is perfect for most of us. It's slick, adapted to your theme, and available in light or dark.

EXIF information

Nicely displays information about your photos, such as camera, lens, aperture, description, etc.

Optimized

We keep everything light and well-coded. We love everything to be optimized. Caching insures that the data always loads fast.

Pro Version

We are added exciting features to the Pro version if you would like to go even further.

Slideshow

Perfect to showcase your photos during exhibitions, with friends! That is also a feature your visitors will enjoy using.

Location Map

Adds a button which, when clicked, turns your photo into a map of the location.

Deep Linking

Would you like to share a link to a specific image on your website? Deep Linking is the feature you need. Please have a look at the tutorial.
