Piwigo shines when it comes to classifying thousands or even hundreds of thousands of photos.
Born in 2002, Piwigo has been supporting its users for more than 22 years. Always evolving!
Source code is available, editable, auditable and extendable thanks to plugins and themes.
My customers ask to have a private, online folder with their stories. I also have media folders, which contain public archives but whose HD files are only available to authorized users. Uploading is super-easy, very automatic and the presentation is perfect. The presentation and download options are very well thought out. I use PWG Stuff for my home page, SmartAlbums, SocialButtons, Community, LocalFileEditor... there are many plugins to choose from, and everyone can create their own ideal gallery. I have over 74,000 HD photos in the gallery. In use, Piwigo makes you forget about it and saves you time.

Piwigo gives me the ability to customize the look of my gallery so that it doesn't look like any other, while providing outstanding performance and practical features for both the user and the site administrator. Over the last 20 years, development has never ceased to offer improvements, and the ability to develop plugins is a remarkable asset, as the developer community is active and you'll always find something that works for you, and if you wish you can also ""get your hands dirty"" to customize to the extreme. The database is robust and will handle hundreds of thousands of photos with ease. Well done to the Piwigo team for 20 years of tireless work!

I'd like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Piwigo, without whom I'd have been a very unhappy archivist. Since 2007, I've been shooting my life, day by day. In 2010, I felt the intrinsic fear of losing my photos. That's when Piwigo came into my life, never to leave again. Today, I manage over 50,000 photos, and despite the sheer number, the gallery remains fluid and the many themes enhance the interface to suit your tastes. The other reason I love Piwigo is the ability to customize who sees each folder. I have 200 users who can see all the photos of all the evenings we've spent together. And thanks to tags, each of my friends can, in a way, follow his or her evolution by seeing all the photos in which he or she appears and has been tagged. Piwigo is like the Wordpress of photography.

I have been using Piwigo for my wife's website for many years. It's been quite reliable for me, easy to use for her, and receives regular updates which are easy to apply. I love that it supports multiple languages, mass uploads via command line and uploads via web.
