It transforms folder structures into site navigation menus and generates standalone HTML and CSS files for web hosting. The tool automates media processing by applying non-destructive image effects, such as watermarking and color conversion, and performing video filter processing for cuts and stabilization. It can synthesize timelapse or stop-motion videos by converting sequences of still images based on directory keywords. Gallery organization is managed through filename-matching metadata association, pairing media with descriptive text files. Visual presentation is controlled via HTML templates and variable replacement to maintain consistent theme customization across the site. ## Tags ### Content Management & Publishing - [Static Site Generators](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/content-management-publishing/static-site-generators.md) — Compiles local media folders and templates into a standalone set of static HTML files. - [Photoessay Websites](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/content-management-publishing/static-websites/photoessay-websites.md) — Converts directories of media into a static photoessay website with folder-based navigation.
