   Features

Upload your photos

You can add photos with the web form, any FTP client or a desktop application like digiKam, Shotwell, Lightroom or mobile applications.

Batch Manager

Filter photos from your collection, make a selection and apply actions in batch: change the author, add some tags, associate to a new album, set geolocation...

Organize with Albums

Distribute your photos among your own albums. The album tree has unlimited depth. Each photo can belong to several albums.

Browse by Dates

Digital cameras store the date in the photo and Piwigo uses this date to display your photo collection in a calendar and let you browse from day to day.

Privacy on your Photos

Make your photos private and decide who can see each of them. You can set permissions on albums and photos, for groups or individual users.

Geolocate your photos on a map

Piwigo can read GPS latitude and longitude from embedded metadata. Then, with plugin for Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, Piwigo can display your photos on an interactive map.

Themes and Plugins

Change appearance with themes. Add features with plugins. Extensions require just a few clicks to get installed. 350 extensions available, and growing!

Full screen slideshow

With the Fotorama plugin, or specific themes such as Bootstrap Darkroom, you can experience the full screen slideshow.

A Great Place For Your Visitors

Your visitors can post comments, give ratings, mark photos as favorite, perform searches and get notified of news by email.

Import automatic your metadata

For example an IPTC description can be imported into photo properties, displayed next to the photo... and searchable!

Users management

Administrators can create users, groups, manage permissions and send notifications. Several administrators can work at the same time in Piwigo. Perfect for your team!

API

Piwigo web API makes it easy for developers to perform actions from other applications: display thumbnails in a WordPress blog post, publish photo from Lightroom, synchronize a local folder with a Perl script... As simple as HTTP requests and JSON responses.

For me and much of others, this script is very powerful and very extensible. Personalize it according to your wish and to add additional functionalities graces to many the plugins. If you seek a simple gallery, effective, beautiful and rich person of functionalities, Piwigo is the software that you need!

This is top of the line in terms of free/open source image hosts. It has great features, it's simple yet aesthetically pleasing, customizable... I've tried other ones but this seems to be the best so far.

It's pretty cool...has also some third party themes that are current, mobile, HTML5, etc. I wanted a front-end way to upload pics for like friends to do it without going to back-end but didn't find it. It's pretty easy to use, easy to understand, allows FTP upload, does what I need right now, and hasn't bugged up.
Fabulous!

(sorry for my little English) Simple and Nice. I rated this applications with 5 stars. Will be great if in this apps will be added additional effects, transitions and different view mode.
Nice!

I didn't expect this program to be this great, to be honest. It does everything I need and more. Organizing my photos has never been better. The ease of use and plethora of options makes this an indispensable addition to my software library! Many thanks and hats off to the developers!

It does everything I need. Early days but it's amazing how even the themes and plugins are auto installing and auto configuring. The best thing is, if you outgrow your own hosting and need stable cloud based hosting, their prices seem really reasonable.
