Open source alternative to:
Immich is a high-performance, self-hosted photo and video backup and management solution that rivals Google Photos in features and user experience. With over 95,000 GitHub stars, it is one of the fastest-growing open-source projects and the most popular self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
Immich offers automatic backup from iOS and Android via its mobile app, face recognition, object detection, location-based organization, smart search, and automatic album creation — all running locally on your own hardware. Its timeline view, shared albums, and memory features feel nearly identical to Google Photos. The mobile apps provide background sync, making migration seamless.
Licensed under AGPL-3.0, Immich is actively developed with frequent releases. It is deployed via Docker Compose and supports hardware-accelerated transcoding and machine learning inference. For individuals and families who want to stop sending their photos to Google while keeping a polished, full-featured experience, Immich is the definitive choice.
