Immich

Immich is a high-performance self-hosted photo and video management solution designed as a direct alternative to cloud-based services like Google Photos and iCloud Photos. It provides a complete media management experience while keeping all your data under your own control.

The platform features automatic mobile backup for photos and videos, including background backup and LivePhoto/MotionPhoto support. It uses machine learning to provide facial recognition and clustering, object detection, and CLIP-based semantic search, allowing you to find photos by content without manual tagging.

Immich supports multiple users with shared albums and partner sharing, so families can maintain separate libraries while sharing select content. The global map view uses photo metadata to show where memories were captured. Other features include Memories (automatically surfacing photos from past years), archive and favorites, offline mobile support, user-defined storage structures, and public sharing links.

The responsive web interface and native mobile apps (iOS and Android) provide a seamless experience across devices. Administrative functions, OAuth support, API keys, and a well-documented API make it suitable for both personal and small-team deployments.
