Immich is a high-performance, self-hosted photo and video management solution that serves as a Google Photos alternative. It consists of a Docker-deployed server backend, a web app built with SvelteKit, and mobile apps built with Flutter for Android and iOS.

Use cases

  • self-host my photo library instead of Google Photos
  • automatically back up photos from my phone to my own server
  • organize and browse family photos and videos in a web gallery
  • search photos by content, people, and metadata on my own hardware
  • migrate away from Google Photos while keeping automatic mobile uploads
  • share photo albums with family without a cloud provider

When to choose

  • you want full ownership and privacy of your photo/video library on your own server
  • you need automatic mobile backup with a polished web and mobile experience
  • you have Docker and hardware meeting the requirements (6GB RAM, 2 CPU cores)
  • you want features like face recognition, search, and album sharing without cloud fees

When to avoid

  • you want a zero-maintenance managed cloud service with no server to run
  • your hardware cannot run Docker or meet the RAM/CPU requirements
  • you need a lightweight single-binary tool rather than a multi-container stack
  • you require commercial resale or branding use without following Immich's trademark guidelines
