About PhotoPrism
PhotoPrism is a self-hosted app for browsing, organising and sharing a photo and video library. It is built to keep your media on hardware you control.
What it does
PhotoPrism indexes your photos and videos so you can search them by content, place and people. It handles raw files, live photos and duplicates without much manual work. Map views and automatic labels help you find trips and special moments, and you can share albums with other people. The product can run on your own machine or on a cloud server, and the team also offers paid plans for organisations that need extra configuration and deployment options.
Key features

Who it's for
Families and photographers who want to keep a large library private. Organisations can also consider the paid team plans, which add deployment options and support.
Pricing and good to know
The self-hosted version comes with installation guides for Docker, a Raspberry Pi, a NAS and other systems. The team offers paid plans for organisations with added configuration and support. Check the current plan details before choosing one. Photo libraries grow quickly, so plan for storage space and regular backups from the start.
