Free plan · No credit card
The free virtual gallery maker.
Build a walkable 3D art gallery online for free — no install, no 3D skills. Upload your work, place it on the walls, and publish a shareable virtual exhibition in minutes.
Why it's free
A real free plan, not a trial.
Most "free" gallery tools are time-limited demos or strip out the good features. Menel's free plan is the whole product, capped only on how many galleries you publish at once.
No card, no install
Sign up with an email and start building. Everything runs in the browser using WebGL — there's nothing to download, on any operating system.
Share with anyone, free
Each published gallery gets a public link and a spot on Explore. Visitors walk in with no account, and there's no cap on traffic.

Free plan FAQ
Frequently asked.
Is the virtual gallery maker really free?
Yes. You can build and publish up to 2 galleries with all features included and unlimited visitors, with no credit card. Need more published galleries? Pro starts at 4,99€/month.
Do I need 3D or coding skills?
No. You upload images and place them on walls. Menel handles all the 3D — no Blender, Unity or code.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Galleries are responsive with a touch joystick and optional gyroscope on mobile, and keyboard + mouse on desktop.
Can visitors see my free gallery without an account?
Yes. You share a public link and anyone can walk in instantly, no sign-up needed.
What's the difference with a paid plan?
Only the publishing limits. Pro removes the 2-gallery cap and gives unlimited artworks per gallery. The editor and visit are identical.
Your free virtual gallery awaits.
Upload a few images and walk through your own 3D exhibition before your coffee gets cold — for nothing.
