Open source photo library and digital asset management software

About Piwigo

Piwigo is photo gallery software that helps you manage, share, and organize photos and videos your way. You import media from computers, mobile apps, or synchronized folders, structure it with albums, tags, and metadata, search across large collections, and share galleries publicly or privately with controlled permissions. Built on an open-source core under the GPL, it can be self-hosted for free with the same core features, or used as Piwigo Cloud, a paid hosted service with support included.
