Revela is a static site generator built specifically for photographers. Point it at a folder of images, get back a fast portfolio site with modern image formats (AVIF, WebP, JPEG), responsive “ elements, CSS-only LQIP placeholders, EXIF data, and a plugin system.

One single-file executable — no .NET SDK, no Node, no ImageMagick, no package managers. Download, double-click, wizard walks you through setup. Built because the existing SSGs (Hugo, Eleventy, Astro) all treat images as an afterthought.

NetVips-powered image pipeline is 3-5× faster than ImageMagick. Comes with OneDrive source, EXIF statistics, gzip/brotli pre-compression, and a local dev server all built in.
