EverlightBox has a very social attitude: users can comment the image they’re currently seeing.

EverlightBox is a very fast and safe lightbox for WordPress. It can be used with WordPress galleries like:

WordPress native galleries
Final Tiles Gallery
PhotoBlocks Grid Gallery

and any linked image. You can even activate it using custom CSS selectors, so it’s virtually compatible with every gallery plugin.

EverlightBox is also a perfect solution for mobile devices, it supports swipe gestures so users are able to browse your images in a more natural way.

All users are welcome to propose new features, enhancements and bug fixes.
