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.
![](https://dl.photoprism.app/img/ui/desktop-1000px.jpg)
To get a first impression, you are welcome to play with our public demo at [demo.photoprism.app](https://demo.photoprism.app/)
(also available in [Deutsch](https://demo-de.photoprism.app/), [Français](https://demo-fr.photoprism.app/), and [汉语](https://demo-zh.photoprism.app/)).

* Easily find specific pictures using [powerful search filters](https://demo.photoprism.app/browse?view=cards&q=flower%20color%3Ared)
* Privacy-friendly: No data is ever sent to Google, Amazon, Facebook, or Apple unless you explicitly upload files to one of their services 🔐

* Since the [User Interface](https://demo.photoprism.app/) is a [Progressive Web App](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps),
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

* Metadata is extracted and merged from Exif, XMP, and other sources such as Google Photos

* Use [PhotoSync](https://www.photosync-app.com/) to securely backup iOS and Android phones in the background
* WebDAV clients such as Microsoft's Windows Explorer and Apple's Finder [can connect directly](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/webdav/) to PhotoPrism, allowing you to open, edit, and delete files from your computer as if they were local
## Getting Started ##
<img align="right" width="25%" src="https://photoprism.app/user/pages/01.home/03._screenshots/iphone-maps-hybrid-540px.png">
Step-by-step installation instructions for our self-hosted [community edition](https://photoprism.app/get) can be found
on [docs.photoprism.app](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/) -
all you need is a Web browser and [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) to run the server.
It is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows.
The [stable version](https://docs.photoprism.app/release-notes/) and development
preview have been built into a single [multi-arch image](https://hub.docker.com/r/photoprism/photoprism) for 64-bit AMD, Intel,
and ARM processors. That means, [Raspberry Pi](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/raspberry-pi/) 3 / 4 owners can pull
from the same repository, enjoy the exact same functionality, and can follow the regular
[installation instructions](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/)
after going through a short list of [requirements](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/raspberry-pi/).
Existing users are advised to update their `docker-compose.yml` config based on our examples
available at [dl.photoprism.app/docker](https://dl.photoprism.app/docker/).

## Upcoming Features and Improvements ##
**Our vision is to provide the most user- and privacy-friendly solution to keep your pictures organized and accessible.**
The [roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5) shows what tasks are in progress,
what needs testing, and which features are going to be implemented next.
Please give ideas you like a thumbs-up 👍 , so that we know what is most popular.
Ideas endorsed by [silver, gold, and platinum sponsors](SPONSORS.md) receive a [golden label](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Asponsor)
and will be prioritized on the [roadmap](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/projects/5).
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](https://docs.photoprism.app/funding/) to get their favorite features as soon as possible.

### GitHub Issues ###
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](https://photoprism.app/contact)
or [a community member](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/discussions) 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](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/) and provide best-in-class
support to you, instead of handling unclear and/or duplicate bug reports.

to get regular updates, connect with other users, and discuss your ideas.
