New in 1.6.0
A fresh look, far fewer wrong things, and your year in photos
A fresh look for the whole app, faces to review one click away, far fewer wrong things on your photos, and a Rewind of your year. Everyone should update; multi-user instances right away, for security fixes.
- A fresh lookEvery page got a calmer, cleaner design, also on phones. Customize sidebar pins the pages you use most, and big days load fast without jumping.
- Faces to review, one click awayThe People page says how many faces wait for you and opens them in one click. You can also pin Faces to the sidebar.
- Far fewer wrong thingsPhotos get fewer things, like beach or dog, and far fewer wrong ones. Find things again for all photos on the Library page updates the photos you already have.
- Your year in photosFrom 20 December to 6 January, Rewind shows your year once: your busiest day, and the people and places you photographed most. Your server works it out.
- For adminsError reports stay on your serverWhen something breaks, LibrePhotos keeps a cleaned-up report on your server. Nothing is sent until you choose to share it with the maintainers or your own server.
A look around
A sample library. The screenshots follow the theme you are reading in.
Open a photo and the sidebar lists the people in it, where it was taken, its camera settings, the tags the model assigned and a generated caption.
Sample photos from Unsplash and others, see the credits.

Development setupSupport 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.
