Description
The ZIP Importer addon allows uploading ZIP files containing multiple images directly to Envira Gallery, extracting the package on the server and automatically adding each photo to the gallery. This component replaces one-by-one uploads on the standard screen, ideal for photographers and agencies that need to upload dozens or hundreds of images from an entire session in a single compressed file.
