# Albums
An Album is a  [Page Content Row Type](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/editing-content/page-row-types) that allows any number of images to be uploaded, and formatted attractively on a page with minimum effort. Album Images can be displayed as a [Carousel](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/images/albums/carousel), [Gallery](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/images/albums/gallery) or [Grid](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/images/albums/grid). Other elements that contribute towards the layout and formatting of an album are **Album Title, Album Subtitle (optionally with embedded Event Link and Date), Introductory Text, Cover Image** and **Pre-Album Text**. When used together, these elements can provide everything needed for laying out an entire page, enabling the you to consistently and easily create new albums. Additionally there are tools built into this workflow for [uploading](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/images/albums/uploading-images), [cropping and resizing images](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/how-to/committee/images/albums/cropping-and-resizing-images), making the experience of album creation just as easy as social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. Apart from the images themselves, all album elements are optional so you can choose as many elements as you need for your particular case. Below is an annotated screenshot of an album that shows how each of the above elements contribute towards the album layout:
