PhotoPrism

Powered By MIT License Code Quality GitHub issues Build Status

PhotoPrism is a server-based application for privately managing large amounts of JPEG and RAW files. It is functionally similar to popular cloud services such as Flickr or Google Photos. Originals are stored in the file system in a structured way for easy backup and reliable long-term accessibility.

Note: This software is still alpha and under active development. You're welcome to join our team.

Our goal is to provide the following features (tested as a proof-of-concept):

  • High-performance command line tool
  • Web frontend
  • No proprietary or binary data formats
  • Duplicate detection
  • Automated tagging using Google TensorFlow
  • Reverse geocoding based on latitude and longitude
  • Image search with powerful filters
  • Easy backup and export

User Interface

The Web interface is based on Vuetify, a Material Design component framework for Vue.js 2.
