What is it?

Immich is a self-hosted solution for managing photos and videos. It pairs a web interface with a mobile app that can automatically back up the camera roll, so your media stays on a server you control rather than a commercial cloud service.

The web and mobile clients cover uploading, albums and shared albums, partner sharing, public links, favorites and archive, a global map view, and memories. Search works across metadata, objects, faces, and CLIP-based queries, and facial recognition groups people in your library. Duplicate prevention, raw format support, LivePhoto and MotionPhoto playback, and a folder view round out the feature set.

Administrators can manage users and create API keys, and OAuth sign-in is supported. The mobile app adds selective album backup and background backup, while offline support is available on mobile only.
