Knotful Gallery
Knotful Gallery is your file organization system. It works like a filing cabinet: create folders, drag in your files, search by name, and share with family or vendors using secure links.
What you can store
- Photos (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC)
- Documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plain text, CSV)
- Audio (MP3) and video (MP4, MOV)
- ZIP archives
- Up to 50 MB per file; total counts against your storage allowance
Folders
Click + New in the sidebar to create a folder. Drag folders to nest them, or click on a folder to view its files. Folders show a count of how many files they contain.
Uploading
Click Upload in the toolbar, then choose one or more files. Each upload shows progress and, for images, the percentage saved through automatic compression.
Bulk actions
Click the small circle on a file card to select it. With one or more files selected, the bulk-action bar appears with options to Move, Trash, or Delete forever.
Trash and restore
Trashed files stay restorable for 30 days. After that, a daily cron permanently deletes them. To restore files immediately, switch to the Trash view and use the bulk-restore action.
Sharing
Share a folder or single file by creating a share link. You can:
- Set an expiry date
- Require a PIN
- Limit to a specific number of uses
- Allow downloads or restrict to view-only
Share links use the URL format /knotful-gallery/share/{token}.
Embedding on a page
Use the [knotful_gallery] shortcode to embed a gallery in any post or page:
[knotful_gallery folder="my-photos" layout="grid" columns="4"]
Layouts: grid, list, masonry. Only files marked public in folders marked public show up via the shortcode.
