PhotoPrism® is an AI-powered app for browsing, organizing & sharing your photo collection. It makes use of the latest technologies to tag and find pictures automatically without getting in your way. You can run it at home, on a private server, or in the cloud.

Step-by-step installation instructions for our self-hosted community edition can be found on docs.photoprism.app - all you need is a Web browser and Docker to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
The stable version and development preview have been built into a single multi-arch image for 64-bit AMD, Intel, and ARM processors. That means, Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 owners can pull from the same repository, enjoy the exact same functionality, and can follow the regular installation instructions after going through a short list of requirements.
Existing users are advised to update their docker-compose.yml config based on our examples
available at dl.photoprism.app/docker.

Our vision is to provide the most user- and privacy-friendly solution to keep your pictures organized and accessible.

Ideas endorsed by silver, gold, and platinum sponsors receive a golden label and will be prioritized on the roadmap.
We have a zero bug policy and do our best to help users when they need support or have other questions. This comes at a price, as we can't give exact deadlines for new features.
Having said that, funding really has the highest impact. So users can do their part and become a sponsor to get their favorite features as soon as possible.

We'll do our best to answer all your questions. In return, we ask you to back us on Patreon or GitHub Sponsors. Think of "free software" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer". Thank You! 💜
We kindly ask you not to report bugs via GitHub Issues unless you are certain to have found a fully reproducible and previously unreported issue that must be fixed directly in the app. Contact us or a community member if you need help, it could be a local configuration problem, or a misunderstanding in how the software works. This gives our team the opportunity to improve the documentation and provide best-in-class support to you, instead of handling unclear and/or duplicate bug reports.
Follow us on Twitter and join the Community Chat to get regular updates, connect with other users, and discuss your ideas. Our Code of Conduct explains the "dos and don’ts."
An important part of our journey is to explore new ways in product development and build better software through consistent use of community feedback. Feel free to share your thoughts with us at any time.
We welcome contributions of any kind, including blog posts, tutorials, testing, writing documentation, and pull requests. Our Developer Guide contains all the information necessary for you to get started.
