## What it is
PhotoPrism is an AI-powered, privacy-first web application for browsing, organizing, and sharing personal photo and video collections. It automatically classifies images with TensorFlow, recognizes faces, and offers powerful search, maps, and duplicate handling, running self-hosted via Docker or in the cloud.

## Use cases
- self-host a Google Photos alternative on my own server
- automatically tag and classify my photo library with AI
- find photos of specific people with facial recognition
- manage RAW images and videos without format worries
- browse my photo collection on phone and desktop via a PWA
- deduplicate and import photos from Google Photos
- run a photo server on a Raspberry Pi or NAS
- search photos by location on world maps

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-first, self-hosted photo manager with AI tagging and face recognition
- you need powerful combined search filters over large photo/video collections
- you want to replace Google Photos while keeping WebDAV and mobile backup compatibility
- you have a server with Docker and at least 3 GB RAM

## When to avoid
- you only have a low-memory device (1 GB or less), where TensorFlow and RAW conversion are disabled
- you need a lightweight desktop-only photo viewer without a server
- you require MySQL 8 support, which has been discontinued
- you need a fully permissive license - the core is AGPL 3.0 with commercial editions
