Piwigo is an open source photo gallery and digital asset management (DAM) web application written in PHP, for organizing, sharing and controlling access to photo and video collections. It runs self-hosted on any PHP/MySQL web server or as a hosted cloud service, with 200+ plugins and themes and mobile apps.
Use cases
- self-host a private photo gallery for family or friends
- manage a team or organization media library with user permissions
- share photo albums with clients as a freelance photographer
- let field teams upload photos from mobile phones
- synchronize a local photo directory to a web gallery
- replace proprietary photo cloud services with a self-hosted DAM
When to choose
- you want a mature (since 2002), actively maintained open source photo gallery
- you need fine-grained user rights, private/public albums and contributor uploads
- you want extensibility via plugins and themes and multi-language support
- you need both self-hosted and managed hosting options with no lock-in
When to avoid
- you need a modern JavaScript/SPA stack or headless-first architecture
- you only want a simple static image viewer without user management
- you cannot run PHP and MySQL/MariaDB on your hosting
