EasyImageCaption - A free Joomla plugin

“Captionize” your images the easy way.

EasyImageCaption is the out-of-the-box caption solution for Joomla driven websites. Easy to use. Free to use.

Available for Joomla versions

What is EasyImageCaption good for?

The EasyImageCaption plugin for Joomla generates captions from images' TITLE or ALT tags in articles and displays them below (or above) the images.

It has been developed as an alternative to Joomla's built-in javascript caption solution as well as to the JCE editor's caption plugin.

This is the caption that is generated by EasyImageCaption from the image’s TITLE tag

How does EasyImageCaption work?

As a Joomla plugin, EasyImageCaption works out-of-the-box. That means, you just have to install and activate it, and your images will automatically get “captionized” on front-end pages.

You may however restrict “captionizing” to certain images or certain articles through the plugin’s parameters.

The captions can be styled through your template's CSS file(s) or through the built-in basic style settings.

The generated source code is 100% valid HTML.
