 * [@mehmetk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mehmetk/) – If you are looking
   to “migrate” galleries from a non-WordPress installation into the WordPress database
   we do not have any specific methods or mappings to insert galleries into pages/
   posts as the specific details are written when the inserted display is added 
   to the page/post.
 * If you are looking to just add the gallery images so NextGEN Gallery can reference
   those images I would recommend acquiring the images (and hopefully their respective
   meta data) and then adding those to NextGEN Gallery via our UI.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for your respond yes I was looking to migrate galleries from a non-WordPress
   installation. And I didnt find out to import your plugin. And I cant use your
   UI because I have 1000+ galleries and each one has a at least 10-15 photos. So
   I created wp native gallery into the post.
