Preview a web photo gallery
You can preview your web gallery in the Web module or in your default browser before saving or uploading it.
-
In the Web module, do either of the following:
- To preview your web photo gallery in a browser, click Preview In Browser in the lower-left corner of the window.
- To update the web gallery preview in the Web module work area, choose Web > Reload from the Lightroom Classic main menu.
Note:The web gallery preview in Lightroom Classic updates as you make changes to the gallery, so you usually won't need to use the Reload command.
Save a web photo gallery locally
-
In the Web module, click the Export button.
-
In the Save Web Gallery dialog box, type a name for the gallery in the Filename text box and then specify a location for saving the files of your web photo gallery.
-
Click Save.
Upload a web photo gallery
You can specify the FTP server information in the Upload Settings panel and use the FTP capabilities in Lightroom Classic to upload your gallery to a web server. After you click the Upload button, Lightroom Classic automatically generates the necessary files and then transfers them to the web server you specify.
To use a separate FTP application for uploading your files, or to generate a gallery for offline viewing, you can first export the files. When you click the Export button, Lightroom Classic creates a folder containing HTML files, image files, and other web-related files. If you're saving a Flash gallery, the necessary SWF files are included. The folder is saved in a location that you specify.
Web gallery photos and image thumbnails are saved as JPEGs with embedded sRGB profiles.
-
In the Upload Settings panel, choose a web server preset from the FTP Server pop-up menu.
-
Select Put In Subfolder and type the name of the folder (web output folder) that will contain your web photo gallery.
The Upload Settings panel displays the server output path (server path with subfolder containing the web gallery files).
-
Click the Upload button.
-
In the Enter Password dialog box, type the password to access the web server and click Upload.

About specifying a server path
The server path specifies the location on the web server for placing the web gallery folder you're uploading.
When typing the server path, use slashes for designating the directory and sub-directories. For example: /root_directory_name/www/In this example, "root directory" is the name of the root level, the directory you must enter to access space on the web server, and "www" is the name of the specific sub-folder where the web files will be uploaded. Check with your web hosting provider to verify the path for accessing your public folder on the web server.
/root_directory_name/www/
