New in 1.5.0
Share your library, faces made easier, photos on the map, updates from the app
Share your library or one person, label faces faster, see photos on the map where they were taken, and update the Windows app from the app. Everyone should update; multi-user instances and public links right away, for security fixes.
- Share your library, a person or an albumShare your whole library or one person with another user, and let them add their photos to your albums. You decide what they see.
- Faces, made easierDraw a rough box and the face is found in it. Similar faces sit together, and one label covers the whole burst.
- Photos on the mapThe Places map shows every photo where it was taken, and Add place names your own spots, like Home.
- 360° photos, originals and oldest firstPhoto spheres open in a 360° view, zooming in loads the original, and your lists can run oldest first.
- For adminsUpdates from the appAdmins see when a new release is out. The Windows app downloads it and restarts into it.
- For adminsAny GPU, one imageThe regular Docker image runs faces, search and tags on Intel, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. The separate GPU image is gone.
A look around
A sample library. The screenshots follow the theme you are reading in.
The timeline groups your library by the day it was taken and shows where you were. Scroll years in a flick with the scrubber on the right.

Three doors into the documentation, depending on what you came for.

Installation guides →First steps
Point LibrePhotos at your photos, run the first scan, and set up accounts for the rest of the household.
After the first login →Contribute
Get a development environment running, learn how the backend and frontend fit together, and send a pull request.
Development setup →Support the project
No company. No product key. Just people who want their photos back.
LibrePhotos is maintained by volunteers in their spare time. There is no venture money and nothing is held back for a paid tier. If it saves you a subscription, consider passing a little of that on. Sponsorship pays for the hardware the models are tested on and the hours that go into releases.
