High performance self-hosted photo and video management solution.

What it solves

Immich provides a high-performance, self-hosted alternative to cloud photo and video management services, allowing users to maintain full control over their media assets while enjoying features similar to modern cloud galleries.

How it works

It operates as a self-hosted server with accompanying mobile and web interfaces. The system handles the upload, storage, and organization of photos and videos, including support for RAW formats and LivePhotos/MotionPhotos. It includes a user-defined storage structure and multi-user support.

Who it’s for

Users who want to back up their personal media collections and manage them via a self-hosted solution rather than relying on third-party cloud providers.
