Lychee is a self-hosted, open-source photo-management web application written in PHP that lets users upload, organize, search, and share photos and albums from their own server. It features a polished browser-based UI, EXIF/IPTC metadata display, password-protected albums, Dropbox import, and optional Imagick-accelerated image processing.
Use cases
- self-host a personal photo gallery on my own server
- upload and organize photos in albums from a browser
- share photo albums publicly or with password protection
- view EXIF metadata of my photos
- import photos from Dropbox to my own gallery
- replace cloud photo services with a private alternative
When to choose
- you want full control over your photo storage on your own server or web-space
- you need a lightweight PHP/MySQL photo gallery that installs in minutes
- you want a beautiful, photographer-friendly UI with metadata support
- you prefer open-source, self-hosted alternatives to Google Photos
When to avoid
- you need active development and recent features - this original repository has moved to the LycheeOrg organization
- you require mobile native apps or machine-learning-based photo search
- your hosting lacks PHP 5.5+ and MySQL
- you need multi-user role management out of the box
