PhotoPrism® is a server-based application for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
|
||
It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way.
|
||
Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Key Features ##
|
||
|
||
* Our clearly structured [user interface](https://demo.photoprism.org/) makes organizing and sharing your personal photo collection as easy as
|
||
it should be — whether it’s on a phone, tablet, or desktop computer.
|
||
* Index everything without worrying about duplicates or [RAW to JPEG conversion](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/library/converting/).
|
||
* Automatic [image classification](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/classification/)
|
||
based on Google TensorFlow. In addition, our indexer detects _colors_, _chroma_, _luminance_, _projection_,
|
||
_location type_, _quality_, and many other properties.
|
||
* Includes four high-resolution [world maps](https://demo.photoprism.org/places) to see where you've been,
|
||
and for rediscovering long-forgotten shots.
|
||
* WebDAV clients, like Microsoft’s Windows Explorer or Apple's Finder, may
|
||
[connect](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/backup/webdav/) directly to PhotoPrism so that you to can open,
|
||
edit, and delete files from your computer or phone as if they were local.
|
||
You may easily sync your pictures with [Nextcloud](https://nextcloud.com/) as well.
|
||
* PhotoPrism feels [like a native app](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_application) and,
|
||
of course, you can also add it to your home screen.
|
||
|
||
## Getting Started ##
|
||
|
||
You're welcome to play with our public demo at [demo.photoprism.org](https://demo.photoprism.org/).
|
||
|
||
Step-by-step installation instructions for our self-hosted [community edition](https://photoprism.app/get) can be found
|
||
on [docs.photoprism.org](https://docs.photoprism.org/getting-started/) -
|
||
all you need is a Web browser and Docker to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows.
|
||
|
||
We do our best to provide a complete, stable version very soon. Check the
|
||
[roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5) for open issues.

## Roadmap ##
|
||
|
||
Our [roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5) shows what tasks are in progress,
|
||
what needs testing, and which feature requests are going to be implemented next.
|
||
|
||
Please give ideas you like a thumbs-up 👍 , so that we know what is most popular.
|
||
Ideas backed by one or more [sponsors](SPONSORS.md) will be prioritized as well.
|
||
|
||
Our long-term vision is to provide the most user-friendly solution for browsing,
|
||
organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
|
||
|
||
## Contributions ##
|
||
|
||
We welcome contributions of any kind. If you have a bug or an idea, read our
|
||
[guide](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/) before opening an issue.
|
||
Issues labeled [help wanted](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/help%20wanted) /
|
||
[easy](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aeasy) can be
|
||
good (first) contributions.

|
||
related topics. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions.
|
||
|
||
## Funding ##
|
||
|
||
This project is about freedom and privacy but not necessarily about free beer. We feel like it
|
||
would be a mistake to state there will be no costs, because clearly we have huge expenses, your server hardware
|
||
will have a price tag and then maybe you'd like to have some extra features that need to be developed.
|
||
|
||
It's fair to say that users with basic needs will have no monthly costs. We were also way more effective
|
||
per dollar than investor-backed startups and learned a lot on top of it.
|
||
An earlier version of this document contained a rough number, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter.
|
||
|
||
Most established OSS companies make the bulk of their revenue with enterprise customers, that's why private users
|
||
and single developers typically get everything for free. Obviously that doesn't work if you have only private users
|
||
that refuse to share their data on top of it.
|
||
|
||
Looking forward, specific solutions for funding development and maintenance could be to...
|
||
|
||
- provide additional benefits to our sponsors
|
||
- sell a tested & supported version in the app store while our contributors and other developers can
|
||
continue to use Docker or build from source
|
||
- develop a one-click solution for private cloud hosting together with selected providers we trust
|
||
- offer a geodata, public events, and maps subscription since OpenStreetMap doesn't want us to use their development
|
||
API for production, which is perfectly fine
|
||
|
||
## Donations ##
|
||
|
||
You're most welcome to support us via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/lastzero),
