I am so happy to share that NextGEN Pro is now available.  Before I go into the cost, I want to share some of what is included.

• Enhanced gallery styles including thumbnail, slideshow, filmstrip, blog  and masonry style galleries.
• An exclusive lightbox with built-in social sharing, deep linking, commenting and mobile support.
• 1-on-1 support direct to our customer service team through email.

NextGEN Pro must be installed along side the free NextGEN Gallery 2.0.

That’s not all we have for you with NextGEN Pro, though.  There is a long road ahead, with amazing features that we cannot wait to share with you.

Until then, we hope you enjoy NextGEN Pro and share your feature requests with us.

NextGEN Pro is $39 a year for continued updates and support.  See NextGEN Pro in action below or visit the official Pro page and read more about the new plugin.

See the little icons at the bottom right of the Masonry gallery?  Click on the left one to bring up the Pro Lightbox or the right one to bring up the Pro Lightbox and the social slider for sharing and commenting on individual images.
