Manage your photo library with Piwigo

I am a photography enthusiast, sharing lots of free stock photos and photos from hiking trips in New Zealand. I have close to 3,500 images in my Piwigo photo gallery, and all is running very smooth. I discovered Piwigo in 2015. I needed to replace a discontinued photo gallery with something new and Piwigo ticked all the boxes for me. I never looked back - setup was fairly straightforward and maintenance is effortless. No fuss, things just work. And when something breaks (I had a broken version update once) then I received immediate help on community forums and the issue was resolved within a few hours. Frankly, that's faster than paid-for commercial support with most vendors I know of. One important factor why I picked Piwigo over other available options is the community spirit. I prefer supporting software that is available for everyone to use in any way they like. This is profoundly different from vendor lock-in and EULAs full of small print, that you find with proprietary products.

I've been using Piwigo the last few years since Flickr announced their 1,000 photo limit to free users. I used a Piwigo plugin to directly import my 11,000+ photos and groups from Flickr into my self-hosted Piwigo instance. It's been working flawlessly since and I have many of the social interactions expected such as comments, facial recognition, geolocation, ratings, etc.

I've used Piwigo for my personal website on a Raspberry Pi for years. It is wonderful open source software. It allows family and friends to view our pictures and saves shipping them around by email. Keep up the good work team!

We use Piwigo as an image database with different, password-protected levels. This allows our distributors and dealers from all over the world to access our product images at any time and according to their access authorization. Piwigo is easy and efficient to manage and intuitive to use.
