# Create a New Gallery

#### When to Create a New Gallery

Create and pair a new gallery with a new preset any time you're managing a new standalone event. This helps keep each event distinct and organized.

* **Public Gallery**: Allows participants to browse and share photos from the specific event they attended, without mixing in photos from other events.
* **Private/Unlisted Gallery**: Facilitates easily sharing a single gallery link or downloaded copies with your client, avoiding the hassle of sorting pictures from various events.

**This is a good fit for:**

* Weddings
* Birthdays and private parties
* One-off corporate events
* Client events where photos should stay separated

#### Creating a new gallery

While creating a new preset, you will be prompted to link it to an online gallery.&#x20;

1. [Create your preset](/copy-of-halo-app/basic-setup/create-a-preset.md), then advance to the gallery settings.&#x20;
   * The system will default to creating a new gallery using the same name as the preset.&#x20;
2. Before saving, you can update the gallery name (guests will see the gallery name) and choose a [privacy level](/gallery-design/basic-gallery-settings/gallery-privacy-options.md).
3. Save your preset & gallery pair, and advance to the [Layout Designer](/copy-of-halo-app/layout-designer/creating-layouts.md).
