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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What to expect... ##
|
|
|
|
* clearly structured Web interface for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection
|
|
* import everything without worrying about duplicates or [RAW to JPEG conversion](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/library/converting/)
|
|
* [geocoding](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/geocoding/), [XMP support](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/xmp/) and [automated tagging](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/classification/)
|
|
based on Google TensorFlow
|

|
## For the early birds ##
|
|
|
|
Step-by-step installation instructions 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.
|
|
|
|
Next, you'll have to [index or import](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/library/import-vs-index/)
|
|
existing files. Please be patient, this will take a while depending on the size of your library.
|
|
|
|
Already indexed photos can be browsed in [Photos](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/browse/)
|
|
while videos show up in [Videos](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/video/).
|
|
Counts are continuously updated in the navigation.
|
|
|
|
If photos are missing, they might be in [review](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/organize/review/) due to low quality or missing metadata.
|
|
You can turn this and other features off in [Settings](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/settings/ui/), depending on
|
|
your specific use case.
|
|
|
|

## 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 commercial projects 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...
|
|
|
|
- sell a tested & supported version in the app store while our contributors and other developers can
|
|
continue to use Docker or build from source
|
|
- provide additional features to users who support us financially, maybe with a different license similar to GitLab
|
|
- 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 welcome to support us via [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/lastzero),

|
|
[contributors](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/graphs/contributors/) will get for free whatever we might
|
|
have to charge for a geodata subscription and/or additional features later (see [tiers](https://github.com/sponsors/lastzero/dashboard/tiers)).
