LibrePhotos

What is LibrePhotos?

The LibrePhotos application offers a self-hosted, open-source photo management solution that prioritizes user privacy and control over personal data. Unlike commercial cloud-based services that leverage user photos and metadata to train their machine learning models and gather ad targeting data, LibrePhotos keeps all user photos and associated information stored securely on the local device. This allows users to access the same powerful functionality as commercial offerings, such as photo organization, search, and sharing, without the risk of their personal data being transmitted or stored on third-party servers
