About Photoprism
PhotoPrism is a privacy focused application for browsing, organizing and sharing photos and videos. It can be self hosted on a user's own hardware or run through a managed host, and the vendor states that it never sells user data and keeps it away from large technology platforms unless a user chooses to upload files to them.
AI is used to tag and classify pictures automatically based on their content and location, and to recognize the faces of family and friends. Users can search with filters, handle RAW files, duplicates and many video formats without conversion, and play Live Photos by hovering over them. The app includes high resolution world maps for browsing pictures by place, and the vendor offers PhotoPrism Pro for teams and organizations that want extra configuration and deployment options on their own infrastructure.
It is aimed at individuals and families who want a private alternative to cloud photo services, as well as organizations with data protection requirements. A demo is available on the site.
