About Ente

Ente Photos is an end-to-end encrypted photo storage and sharing platform, a private alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos. Open-source apps for Android, iOS, web, Windows, Mac, and Linux back up photos and videos automatically in original quality, with album sharing, public links, and family plans that share storage at no extra cost. The hosted service includes a free plan with ten gigabytes of storage, paid plans scale up to terabytes, and the full stack can also be self-hosted.
