## Description

Your photos, your server, your rules. Share spaces with family, sync across devices, and explore powerful filters - all privately self-hosted. No cloud required.

• Automatic Backup
Photos and videos from your phone back up automatically to your Gallery server. Works in the background, resumes on interruption, and never duplicates.

• Powerful Search
Find any photo instantly. Search by location, date, people, camera, tags, or even what's in the image using AI-powered smart search.

• Shared Spaces
Share photos with family, friends, or co-workers. Create spaces with different members, each with their own permissions. Activity log shows who added what.

• Face Recognition
Gallery automatically groups photos by person. Name the people you know and find all their photos instantly.

• Map View
See where your photos were taken on an interactive world map.

• Albums & Tags
Organise your library your way with albums, tags, favourites, and ratings.

• Deduplication
Never worry about duplicate uploads. Gallery detects and handles them automatically (photos and videos).

• External Libraries
Connect existing photo collections from network drives or disks without importing.

• Full Control
Every feature runs on your own server. No data leaves your network unless you explicitly share it.

REQUIRES A GALLERY SERVER
Gallery is a self-hosted solution. You need to run the Gallery server on your own hardware. Setup takes about 5 minutes using Docker.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No analytics or tracking
• No ads, ever
• No cloud storage - your server, your data
• End-to-end control over who sees what
