Runs Everywhere
Enjoy browsing your photo collection with our intuitive Progressive Web App — whether it’s on a phone, tablet, or desktop computer. It provides a native app-like experience, and you can conveniently install it on the home screen of all major operating systems and mobile devices.
We recommend Docker for running your own server with our self-hosted community edition. It is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows. PhotoPrism also runs on DigitalOcean, Raspberry Pi, FreeBSD, and many NAS devices.
Powerful Search
Easily find specific photos and videos using powerful search filters. Your pictures are automatically classified based on their content and location. Many more image properties like colors, chroma, and quality can be searched as well. Pictures marked as private, archived, or under review do not appear in regular search results.
Facial Recognition
Our latest version includes facial recognition that lets you find pictures of your family and friends. Be ready to discover long-forgotten shots! New faces are detected as you scan your library. They are then grouped by similarity, so you can quickly match them to people.
Maps & Places
The app includes four high-resolution world maps to bring back the memories of your favorite trips. Our privacy-preserving backend services provide worldwide location information to enrich your pictures with details such as state, city, and category.
Future releases will be able to use public event data to automatically create albums of popular music festivals or sporting events.
Album Sharing
Secret links make it easy to share albums with your loved ones. You can create multiple links for each album and optionally set an expiration date. No additional apps need to be installed and no registration is required.
Broad File Format Support
PhotoPrism supports indexing, viewing, and converting most popular image, video and RAW formats, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, HEIF, HEIC, MP4, MOV, WebP, and WebM. Our goal is to provide top-notch support for all RAW images, regardless of camera make and model. A full list of file types and extensions can be found in our Knowledge Base.
For maximum browser compatibility, video codecs and containers supported by FFmpeg can be transcoded to MPEG-4 AVC on demand, just as still images can be extracted for thumbnail creation.
Advanced Metadata Extraction
Original media and sidecar files are scanned for Exif and XMP data as well as proprietary metadata, including Google Photos JSON. The combined information is normalized and merged.
Supported fields include Title, Description, Date, Location, Camera, Lens, ISO, F Number, Exposure, Focal Length, Subject, Artist, Keywords, and Copyright.
Duplicate Detection
Exact duplicates are skipped when your library is scanned. Images that share a unique identifier, filename, or time and location can be automatically stacked together. Sidecar files are always stacked with the associated media file.
100% Privacy 🔒
Because PhotoPrism is 100% self-funded and independent, we can promise you that we will never sell your data and that we will always be transparent about our software and services. Your data will also never be shared with Google, Amazon, Facebook, or Apple unless you intentionally upload files to one of their services.
