The option to edit titles and descriptions is a bit hidden at first. Go to a gallery, and click the "view" button until you are in "edit" mode:

OK, thanks.

- But how many lines or/and characters can i put below an image ?
  I can have 5 lines using <br> for smartphone and 6 on PC, can it be increase on some images ?

- What the size of the image do you preconize for a quick website, i saw 2048x2048 (strange format) ?
  1920x1280 or less and which Photoshop quality ?

- And can i replace an existing image by the same one having the same name but a different size without using Filezilla ?

This question is not logical. You can add as long titles and descriptions as you want, but you need to consider how they will display in your layouts and in the popup, across multiple devices. Also, you have MANY options on how to display captions ... You can for example use tooltip or caption overlay, both of which do not consume space or break the layout. Or you can use vertical split if you have very long captions. I can't answer "how many lines" ... Normally captions are short, but if you have long captions and don't want to break the layout, you need to consider alternative displays for the caption.

With 2048 x 2048 px it means 2048 px long side, and the image will be resized WITHIN 2048 x 2048. For example, a 5000 x 3000 px would resize to 2048 x 1229. We recommend around 2048 px for web optimized images, and you can see my post here for more details on why:

You can replace with same name, but then you may need to deal with CACHE issues in your browser (and possibly on the network, if you are using a proxy or CDN). You can avoid confusion by using a new unique file name for new revisions.

OK, and to have a custom order inside a gallery, is it possible to drag an image to put it after or before an other one somewhere ?

Yes. Click the sort button until you are in "custom sort" mode, and drag images into order.
