Golin, an application created by Swiss software developer Martin Stoeckli, comes in handy if you want to show off your pictures to an international audience. The application lets you easily create an HTML-based picture gallery that you can post online. It’s all as easy as selecting the picture you want to use, adjusting a few settings, and hitting the “Create picture gallery” button.

To get started with Golin, you must download a 2.7MB archive, extract the executable inside, and run it. When you do so, a simple setup wizard will show up and guide you through all the steps you need to take in order to install Golin on your Windows-powered PC.

The main pane on Golin’s interface displays the images you select for the gallery. Underneath there’s a pane that displays more info about those images, while at the top there’s a traditional File menu and a few buttons related to Golin’s functionality, like a button for adding more images and a button for creating an HTML picture gallery.

As mentioned above, taking advantage of the functionality Golin has to offer is a very simple process that could be broken down into three steps. Step 1: select the images you want to use and load them into the Golin application. Step 2: play with a few layout settings. Step 3: launch the gallery creation process. Once Golin is done with its job, it offers to open the gallery created in your default web browser.

Please note that Golin is not an HTML editor, meaning that you don’t have many options as far as changing the layout of the galleries is concerned. You can use an HTML editor though to create your own layouts and use them with Golin.

Golin is freeware. You can use it for free for as long as you want and you can freely distribute it in its original form. You cannot distribute it in a modified form and you cannot sell it.

Load your images into the Golin application and moments later you will have an HTML-based picture gallery that you can post online.

Pros

The Golin installation process goes smoothly and rapidly. Golin comes with a simple, easy to figure out interface. Creating a picture gallery is a simple process. Golin is freeware.

Cons

There are a few things the application can’t do: can’t edit images, can only create JPG pictures, isn’t an HTML editor.
